I was recently turned on to this video,
which compares the Phillies recent run of "pretty good-ness"
to that of the Foo Fighters, another bunch of dudes who are also generally solid and respectable, but never really transcendent. What about the rest ...

I have a hunch that Jose Mesa's appearance
yesterday put him on the list of the top
five worst post-season pitchers ever.

Last year, I ranked the MLB lineup positions
by OBP and found it quite interesting, so I
figured I'd try it again for 2006. Yes, we're in 2007 now, but these numbers give us a good insight into where the Phils' offensive strengths and weaknesses...

Maybe it's being charged up from bakestar's article,
but I know for sure who could best cover
his All-Despicables Team : Daily News Senior Grouch Bill Conlin. If you're a fan of Philadelphia baseball, and computer-enabled, you might well have ...

As the Baseball Writers Association of America deliberates
over who, if anyone, will gain permanent admission to
the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY next summer, fans' thoughts inevitably turn to who among their current heroes might be up for ...

UPDATE: Arthroscopic surgery for Lidge! Three to six
weeks recovery. Whether he'll be ready for Opening Day
remains to be seen, but I doubt it. Don't you looooooooovve this team? Well, it only took one pitch, but the Phillies' brand new ...

When talking about early season slumps, it's a
common refrain for analysts to note that the slump
is magnified by it occurring early in the season. After all, if a player goes through a tough month in July, he'll have April through June ...

No, this isn't a repeat of last week's
Ranking the Lineup Positions . Instead, it's the natural
follow-up to that piece: ranking the fielding positions (along with designated hitter and pinch hitter). Again, this is a simple concept, but useful to...

[editor's note, by dajafi] Promoted to the front
page--great stuff. Something I've started to do this season,
that I've wanted to do in the past, is charting the pitches of a starting pitcher. With the help of TIVO and some rudimentary, homemade ...

July has come and gone and we just
got word that the player of the month is...wait
for it, wait for it... Ryan Braun. Oh well, who the frig cares about that anyway. We are trying to win a championship. I am certainly going to bathe in ...

Somewhat lost in the euphoria of Thursday's stunning
win and the four-game sweep of the Mets is
that the top two base-stealing teams in the National League rumbled in Philadelphia this week--and the home nine clearly had the better of it. A day after ...

0 : Innings pitched by Antonio Alfonseca despite
appearing in two games (3 hits, 3 walks, 4
earned runs, 0 outs). 1 : Game-ending runner interference calls. 2 : Walk-off wins for the Phils. 3 : Stolen bases against Billy ...

There has been a lot of talk (primarily
from outside Philly) about Manuel being manager of the
year. They have to be talking about the intangibles, because Manuel seems to ignore what is happening on the field and going with his gut, and it is ...

The Phillies embark tonight on their most important
three game series in 14 years. They do it
against the hapless fourth place Nationals. Among some fans, there's a perception that the Nationals give the Phillies trouble. That may have ...

Starting last year, I began doing player projections
for Phillies players, potential Phillies players, and some rivals'
players. I've been refining my 2008 projections over the past few weeks of the season. Some of my projections last year ...

If you were a betting person and placed
your money on all the small market teams this
post-season, you would have won lots of money. Why? It was a clean sweep for the smaller markets in the divisional series. In fact, if not for the ...

You've probably heard that the Phillies' #5 starter/albatross
Adam Eaton was pounded again in his second spring
training start yesterday. Bill Conlin, who for all his asshattery still has the connections and, at least sometimes, the prose, describes ...

Pat is the last of the "old" boys
who never amounted to anything who ended up actually
amounting to something (in the eyes of the average Philly Phan). He is finally in the last season of a 27 year 450 million dollar contract (or so it would ...

Our very own David Cohen put it best
with respect to how we treat our stars: Philadelphia
usually goes through seven stages of sports star appreciation: 1) Wonders who he is and where he came from 2) Convinced that he is the best player ...
