Today would have been legendary Hall of Famer Harry Kalas' 76th birthday. "The Voice" of the Phillies has been calling Richie Ashburn home runs, Robin Roberts' and Tug McGraw's strike outs in Heaven for the past three years now, and I'm sure he loves it.

Posted by Erik Seybold (Photo Courtesy of Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts) So yesterday's offensive outburst was a great sign to see. The Phillies racked up tons of hits and 10 runs to beat the Bo Sox, backed by a strong Cole Hamels performance. It's a much better offensive performance compared to the rest of […]
