  • Phillies: Bloodied but Buoyed

    Number of comments: 52
    Aaron Rowand left Citizens Bank Park looking less like a baseball star and more like Rocky. His nose was gushing blood and he had brusied several bones in his cheeks. He also put one in the win column for the Phighting Phils (credit to Scott Graham for that one).
    [...]

  • Billy Wagner Needs to Stop Talking

    Number of comments: 2
    OK...I remember Billy Wagner's arrival in Philadelphia. I remember people screaming for him when he arrived from the bullpen to the strains of "Enter Sandman." I remember people cheering loudly for him wheh he pitched the ninth. I remember excitement when he hit 100 mph and the joking disappointment when [...]

  • Break em Up

    Number of comments: 3
    No, that title does not refer to the Flyers, but it certainly could. No I am referring to the Phillies.

    Now, now, let's not get angry...I am just jokingly referring to the Phightin's recent four-game win streak. More impressive then the wins (which I will certainly take of course) [...]

  • Could Win Over Marlins Change Season?

    Number of comments: 2
    Was last night's crazy 8-5 Phillies win over the Florida Marlins one of those games that fans look back on as a turning point? It certainly looks possible.

    Here are some of the reasons why it may be:

    • Manager flips out in the dugout, eventually leading to his [...]

  • West Wing Still Great at the End

    Number of comments: 2
    I have been a huge fan of "The West Wing" since it's first season. I love the inner-politics of it all and Aaron Sorkin's writing was top-notch. Once I got into the plots and the characters, I was hooked and have never stopped watching it. Unfortunately, we are down to [...]

  • 9/11 Movies Are Must See

    Number of comments: 3
    Just days after the horrible terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., signs and bumper stickers popped up, memorializing and paying tribute to those who died. Many said: "We Will Never Forget 9/11." Sadly, it seems we have.

    I am unable to turn off the TV when [...]

  • Lousy Flyers; Exciting Lineup for Phils

    Number of comments: 5
    Monday night looked good on paper. My daughter had a softball game followed by me in front of the TV flipping between the Flyers and Phillies.

    Softball went well. Part one down.
    Nice turkey sandwich with some tostidos. Done.
    Kids in bed, comfy couch all to myself. Check.

  • It's Not My Fault, Honest

    Number of comments: 0
    Yes folks, The Inquirer's Frank Fitzpatrick has figured out why Philadelphia sports teams have not won a championship since 1983 (I am excluding Villanova, Wings, Phantoms and Kixx). Apparently, we boo too much.

    Yes, one of the most reporters who never has a nice thing to say about [...]

  • Week Without Blogging!

    Number of comments: 0
    YIKES! Amazing what a short two-day vacation can do to my blogging schedule. I have been out of the blogging loop for more than a week.

    The sad thing is, I still don't feel that inspired to blog today. I am blogging simply to get it done. Have read [...]

  • Home Field Disadvantage?

    Number of comments: 1
    Now I understand...it's my fault that the Phillies are 1-5. Wow, who would have thought it...after all, I didn't swing at a single pitch or make any plays in the field but somehow I am to blame.

    What other way can I look at it after reading the [...]

  • Weekend Wrapup

    Number of comments: 0

    Interesting stuff over the weekend:

    • Phils are off to a 1-5 start. I know it is too early to panic but 1-5 is not good. I can understand getting swept by the Cardinals but they were almost swept by the Dodgers. And it doesn't get any easier playing at Turner Field [...]

  • Poor Debut for Flash

    Number of comments: 0
    I didn't see the game last night as I was late at work, but I did catch the last inning on my drive home. What I heard was a bit disturbing. Tom "Flash" Gordon gave up one run on one hit but had FOUR baserunners. Not exactly a solid outing [...]

  • Cool Bensalem Item of the Day

    Number of comments: 0
    When you live in Bensalem, it's rare to get out there in the news. But apparently, Bensalem was a huge target of Adolf Hitler during World War II. Check out Dan McQuade's blog and find out more.

    My favorite memories of Andalusa came as a kid...the Andalusa Bike [...]

  • Opening Day Blunders

    Number of comments: 3
    Well, another Opening Day, another loss...it has almost become part of the tradition along with taking the day off from work and sitting in miserable weather. Still, there is nothing like Opening Day, even during a 13-5 debacle.

    Some bad things:

    • What in God's name was Charlie Manuel [...]

    Me thinks dese guys don't like Chris Wheeler. Some funny stuff on here...my favorite is "he didn't want to do that." When Whitey said it, it sounded clever and totally appropriate.
    With Wheels it sounds fake. [...]

  • Phillies Surprises

    Number of comments: 1
    Some surprising news out of Clearwater...appparently the Phillies are willing to change their minds. I know, a shocker after several years of the Wade Administration, but it is indeed true.

    Need some evidence? Apparently, according to the Inquirer, the Phils are willing to move Gavin Floyd into the rotation [...]

  • Howard Not Backing Down

    Number of comments: 4
    Some good signs from the Phillies:

    1. Ryan Howard is not only hitting home runs...he stands up for himself and his teammates backed him up.

    In yesterday's game with the Red Sox, Boston pitcher Josh Beckett took exception with what he thought was Howard watching a home run [...]

  • Does It Make Me a Bad Person?

    Number of comments: 0
    A Big 5 team in the Elite Eight. A no-brainer, right, got to root for the home team? Wrong. Not when the "home" team is Villanova and I bleed crimson and gray.

    So I rooted hard for Boston College on Friday (bummer) and Florida on Sunday (sweet). I know [...]

  • Phils Optimism

    Number of comments: 4
    I know, I tend to look at the world through red and white pinstriped glasses but...

    I think the Phillies will win the NL East.

    OK, hear me out. They are really playing well this spring, unlike many of the past few years, and hopefully they will avoid [...]

  • New Thinking on Lineup?

    Number of comments: 3
    In today's Daily News, Marcus Hayes writes that Charlie Manuel plans to put Abraham Nunez in the two hole and move Aaron Rowand to the six spot. This truly looks like shocking news.

    I used to feel that someone handed Charlie a bunch of lineup cards with the positions [...]

  • Happy Hall and Oates Day

    Number of comments: 7
    Some of us will celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Others (espcially those trained at that outstanding Jesuit high school and university in Philadelphia) will faithfully remember St. Joseph's Day on Sunday, March 19. But for the real Philadelphian, we will bow our heads and remember a great late 70s/early 80s soft [...]

    Number of comments: 5
    I never got the chance to blog about how great the Billy Joel concert was last week. I have seen him more than a dozen times over the past two decades and every time I leave there feeling like I got my money's worth.

    Tuesday night's concert started slow. [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    St. Joe's is in the NIT again...and I am very happy about it. I think this team would have struggled in the NCAAs this season but will do well in the NIT, plus has any other program had more fun in the "Not In Tournament" over the years then the [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    Does anyone really care about the World Baseball Classic? I tried to watch the games last week...honestly I do not care. I guess I want the U.S. to win but not a heck of a lot.

    This whole idea seems contrived and the timing is horrendous. They should play [...]
