2010 Spring Training, Featured Posts
My First Date With Roy Halladay…I Mean, um, Whatever. Baseball.
I could write the typical “Ah, baseball…the crack of the bat, the pop of the mitt, the smell of the grass” intro that I think is a requirement to pass baseball writing 101 in this space, but I think I’d rather be honest with you. I didn’t start a niche sports blog and name it [...]

Spring Training is Here. How Good are the Phillies? (Part 2)
If you missed Part 1: The Lineup and Bench, you can find it here. Starters: Roy Halladay, RHP Cole Hamels, LHP Joe Blanton, RHP JA Happ, LHP Jamie Moyer, LHP/Kyle Kendrick, RHP Roy Halladay is a true ace. Cliff Lee is a true ace. Roy Halladay is a slightly better ace than Cliff Lee. It’s a first world problem in a [...]

Spring Training is Here. How Good are the Phillies? (Part 1)
While I was busy hyperventilating over the fact that I will not get to watch Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee pitch back to back games 30-something times atop the Phillies rotation in 2010 (Bring this up at your own peril around me. I’m still a little sensitive.), Ruben Amaro and company were busy rounding out [...]

Phillies Get Roy Halladay, Lose Cliff Lee
It doesn’t make sense for a lot of reasons, but I love Andy Kaufman. In fact, I’m probably the biggest Andy Kaufman fan you know, because I am guessing you don’t know too many others. It doesn’t make sense because most of Andy’s prime years came before I was born, so I had to experience [...]

Lineup, Bench Filled, How About Some More Roy Halladay Talk?
I’m pretty sure that when William Shakespeare wrote that thing about the significance of the tales full of sound and fury he was talking about baseball’s winter meetings. Lots of talk and not a whole lot of action. But that’s fun, because when there isn’t any baseball on TV there isn’t a whole lot left [...]

Live Blog: Phillies vs. Marlins Doubleheader
Posted on 22 September 2009
Though I’m certain I’ve had better ideas, the idea I have right now is that I’m going to live blog both games of the Phillies/Marlins doubleheader that is scheduled to begin at 4:00. It’s a fairly important series in that any realistic hopes of the Marlins winning the NL East likely rest on a sweep. [...] Continue Reading

Live Blog: Cubs vs. Phillies
Posted on 22 July 2009
Jamie Moyer tries to win his 10th game of the season for the Phillies against Chicago’s Carlos Zambrano. I can’t imagine a matchup of two more different pitchers. Oh, and the Phillies will also try to win their 11th game in a row. That’s right, 11. Get excited. It’s live blog time. Click the link to [...] Continue Reading

Live Blog: Blue Jays vs. Phillies
Posted on 18 June 2009
After witnessing the worst two games of the season over the last two days, I decided to try to shake things up with a live blog. Joe Blanton goes for the Phillies, and if he could eat himself about 8 innings or so, that would be great. Click the link to follow along. Click Here Continue Reading

Live Blog: Phillies vs. Padres
Posted on 02 June 2009
We’ve got an interesting pitching match up tonight, between Antonio Bastardo and Jake Peavy. I have high hopes for Bastardo and high hopes that the Phillies will trade 4 or 5 prospects for Peavy. So I thought it would be fun to live blog what is hopefully the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship [...] Continue Reading

Live Blog: Phillies 12, Reds 5
Posted on 21 May 2009
Joe Blanton looked great for 4 innings before giving up 5 runs in the 5th, but the bullpen was able to shut down the Reds the rest of the way and the offense exploded for 12 runs as the Phillies took 2 of 3 in Cincinnati. I live blogged the whole thing, which you can [...] Continue Reading
