Friend of the blog (and currently On Notice) Bill Conlin has written a column lauding the Raul Ibanez signing for reasons that defy logic.

Phillies Sign Jamie Moyer, Chan Ho Park

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 21 days ago from crashburnalley.com

Chan Ho Park is 35 and will be 36 at the end of June 2009. He looks like a newborn child compared to Jamie Moyer, who turned 46 in mid-November.

On Relievers Blowing

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 28 days ago from crashburnalley.com

Blowing leads. Get your mind out of the gutter, would you? Baseball Think Factory’s Mike Emeigh did some research on relievers and their propensities for lead-blowing.

A Response to Blogger Ed Hardiman

I want it to be understood that I have a great deal of respect for Ed. I just happen to think he’s dangerously uneducated on the ideas he argues against.

Phillies Don’t Offer Arb. to Burrell and Moyer

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 12/2/2008 from crashburnalley.com

Both Burrell and Moyer are Type A free agents, which means that if the Phillies had offered one or both arbitration and either declined, they would have been given two draft picks as compensation. The risk is that a panel of arbitrators will decide...

Phillies second baseman Chase Utley had surgery on his right hip yesterday. The surgery was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. Utley had an arthroscopic debridement of his labrum and a bony lesion that was present.

Bad News for Chase Utley, Phillies

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 11/20/2008 from crashburnalley.com

Chase Utley will have right hip surgery, and will miss the next four to six months. That means Utley will be back near the end of March at the earliest, missing almost all of spring training. And it could mean that Utley misses the one-third of the season.

Analyzing the Phillies’ Latest Trade Dream

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 11/8/2008 from crashburnalley.com

Would the trade be worthwhile? Holliday would simply be a one-year rental unless new GM Ruben Amaro plans on locking him up long-term, but he has to deal with the ballooning salaries of a number of arbitration-eligible players including Ryan Howard and Cole Hamels.

No Need for Retroactive Ed Wade Praise
No Need for Retroactive Ed Wade Praise

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 11/3/2008 from crashburnalley.com

It wasn’t long ago when the phrase “Fire Ed Wade” was a regular part of the Philadelphia lexicon. In fact, a website under that exact title was created and laid out in great detail the extreme failure in his eight years as general manager of the Phillies.

Four Months of Business for the Phillies

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 11/3/2008 from crashburnalley.com

As content as everyone must feel seeing the 2008 World Series flag flapping in the wind at Citizens Bank Park, the focus is still directly ahead and no one is going to rest on his laurels. The Phillies have plenty of work to do if they want to continue to play at an elite level in 2009.

World Fuckin’ Champions!

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 10/31/2008 from crashburnalley.com

Referencing his “Boo? Fuck you!” outburst when he was booed in New York during the All-Star Game this season, Utley came to the microphone in Citizens Bank Park after the parade, and before a packed house, uttered, “World Champions… World Fuckin’ Champions!”

Can You Believe It? A Championship in Philly!

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 10/30/2008 from crashburnalley.com

That the Phillies sealed the deal at home means so much. All season long, their celebrations were somewhat muted whether it was clinching a playoff berth, winning the division, the NLDS, or the NLCS. As soon as they won the World Series, they deserved to completely pop the cork...

In truth, the game should have been halted before it became an official game. I don’t care how many days you have to wait to get the full nine innings in, you want the fairest conditions in which both teams can play the sport’s most important game.

You knew it was going to happen some time: Ryan Howard was going to hit. Someone was going to hang a breaking ball, or feed him a fastball, and he was going to pay for it. It took twelve post-season games in 2008 for Howard to finally break out.

The Audacity of Dope
The Audacity of Dope

crashburnalley crashburnalley posted 10/26/2008 from crashburnalley.com

If the Phillies were going to write a book about the first two games of the World Series thus far, “The Audacity of Dope” would be an apt title (my apologies for the lame pun). With runners in scoring position, they couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a friggin’ boat.

Moyer More Unlucky Than Bad in Game 3
Moyer More Unlucky Than Bad in Game 3

If you look a little deeper, you’ll see that Moyer’s failure was due less to his lack of “stuff” and more to bad luck and a successful aggressive approach by the Dodger offense.
