Things have certainly fallen off around here in recent days- unfortunately there's real work to do- but I'll try and pick things up again as we head into the depths of summer.
Anyway, The Phillies once again find themselves only two games back of the Mets for the division lead. We [...]
It seems like just yesterday we were floundering below .500 while the Braves and the Mets held firm control of the division, looking like they might run away from everyone else.
Cut to a week or so later- the Phillies wrap up a second sweep in three series, the [...]
So I'm a little behind after a busy weekend- I'll try and catch up tonight, including an angry, bitter look at the Jose Mesa signing as well as the woeful series against the Royals (likely title: Royal Blues).
But first, as always, since the Phillies are on ESPN [...]
It's no secret that Billy Wagner and Pat Burrell hate each other. After all, Wagner practically called Burrell out for not caring about winning when Wagner was with the Phillies. Even though he didn't call him out by name, Burrell knew it was about him, because Pat Burrell can read [...]
Thank you Pat Burrell.
Thank you for proving every single person in Philadelphia except for me wrong.
Every game you play the announcers tear you down. Every sportswriter and fan wants you to leave. I'll admit there were times that even I started to wish you were gone.
But, no [...]
Unreal.
I still can't fully believe what happened last night. The umpires attempted to rip the game out of the Phillies hands and hand it to the Mets. They almost cost the Phillies the game. How else could you explain the events of last night? Over the span of two [...]
Adam Eaton up against El Duque tonight on ESPN. Is it me or have the Phillies been on national television a lot this year? It's almost as if they thought they'd be good. Huge mistake. Millions of programming dollars are probably being lost on that decision, and the guy who [...]
Well- the last several weeks have certainly been a roller-coaster of emotion.
From the huge sweep of the Braves on the road to losing the next four games at home to now two quality, morale-boosting wins, the Phillies are providing no shortage of drama as the season slowly crawls into summer.
Several [...]
The Phillies hit what we can only hope is rock-bottom tonight, getting nothing short of humiliated by the Giants. Humiliated. This team has no heart, contrary to what I might have said in earlier posts. I turned off the game in the third inning, just before I threw up all [...]
It's not hard to be jealous of soccer fans in England. After all, they religiously support their team, are willing to fight tooth and nail to defend the team's honor, and take it really, really personally when the team loses. They sing songs in the stands that they all know [...]
