Some Phils tix will cost more in 2010
You go to the World Series in consecutive years, you have an ace like Cliff Lee one year from free agency, and you’ve earned the right to charge more for tickets, IMO.

Phils-ville's holiday wish list
With baseball's holiday shopping season - the free agent signing period - beginning at 12:01 a.m., figured we'd share our wish list for the Phillies off-season in open letter form, for Ruben Amaro to see.

Phils-ville is NOT affiliated with the Bucks paper that called Domonic Brown "an idiot"
First things first. Phils-ville is proudly affiliated with the paper of record in Bucks County, the Bucks County Courier Times, NOT the bird cage lining called The Bucks Local News.

You just knew Dutch Daulton would capitalize on this 2012 movie
Loved Dutch Daulton and Ricky Botallico mixing it up on Comcast SportsNet's Phils coverage during the 2009 post-season. The only thing that would've made it better is if Dutch got Ricky Bo to engage in some discourse on metaphysics.

Phillies matters of varying import (aka Tuesday link dump)
Little joy in Mud-ville today. The Eric Bruntlett era has ended, and J.A. Happ was the runner-up in the Rookie of the Year award (our man Randarino has the story).

His 12-4, 2.94 ERA season was already good enough to win him the Sporting News N.L. Rookie of the Year award. Later today we'll find out if it's good enough to get him the big prize: The Baseball Writers' Association of America N.L. Rookie of the Year Award.

Shane & J-Roll awarded for defensive excellence
They say to be a good baseball team, you have to be strong up the middle. No doubt the Phillies are strong up the middle, and two members of the club were recognized for their efforts today when Jimmy Rollins won his third straight Rawlings Gold Glove Award, and Shane Victorino snared his second.
