Odds are, if you watched more than 1
inning of baseball during the first half of the
season, you saw the nauseating Baby Ruth ad campaign promoting their dumb “Take Me Out To The Ballgame 100th Anniversary” contest. In case you ...
The second half of the baseball season is
underway, and memories of All-Star Weekend are still quasi-fresh
in our minds. The game itself was great, but vastly overshadowing it was the Home Run Derby and more notably, the show that Josh Hamilton put ...

Don't look now but the streaking New York
Mets have not only climbed back in to the
National League East pennant race, but have forged a tie with the Philadelphia Phillies. The slumping Phillies now have a three game set with the Mets starting Tuesday with first place on the line. Philadelphia has been fading fast as they have lost 20 of their last 34 games. ...
Phillies lose 2 out of 3 to the
Florida Marlins even after another great performance by Cole
Hamels.
Ryan Howard geeks out! The Techno-Gurus of technology
makeover show My Home 2.0 created a 2.0 Bat
for the MVP slugger to try. It's got an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a wireless transmitter, all synched up to a computer that tracks a batter's swing. This is crazy!
Last night the ageless Jamie Moyer accrued his
9th win of the season by stringing up the
fish. The Florida Marlins were once again perplexed by Jamie Moyer in which he allowed 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk with 3 strikeouts over 6 innings. Brad Lidge was able to come in last night and toss the anchor over to solidify the Phillies on top of the N.L. East with his 21st consecutive save. Ryan ...
I love the “Last X Calendar Year(s)” option
that David added to the leaderboards here, and so
this morning, let’s take a stroll through the past 365 days and look at some performances that might surprise you. Miguel Tejada : ...
This one surprised me, I was expecting to
see either Atlanta’s 3B Chipper Jones* or CF Josh
Hamilton** of the Rangers on top of this list, but instead, we find Houston’s 1B Lance Berkman** just edging out Hamilton. In fact, Jones doesn’t even make this top 20 list as he has begun to come down
We all know how Jason Giambi spent his
All-Star break, and now thanks to The Fightins’ we
know how some of the Philadelphia Phillies spent their time off. Ryan Howard and Shane Victorino were at Philly hotspot G partying with Snoop Dogg...
While taking a break during All-Star week, Ryan
Howard was partying in downtown Philly when he caught
up with none other than the Snoop Dee-oh-double-gizzle at nightclub hotspot G . (I guess you could say it was “Nuthin but a ‘G’ ...
See the problem is that one of Philadelphia's
best prospects is a catcher, Lou Marson, and the
Giants have sort of committed to a long term catcher that should be up fairly soon in Buster Posey. There are two possible scenarios in which I could see ...
I love a good underdog story and the
offensive performance of the Pirate’s OF Nate McLouth, and
2008 NL All Star, is one of those stories. Who would have thought that he’d have a year like the one he’s currently enjoying? His line this week was 9/4/9/2/.290/.333 (R/HR/RBI/SB/BA/OBP). Ryan Howard, 1B of the Phirst place Phillies
Check out Doug Glanville's fan mail and the
shameless sucker who asked for a donation to help

Josh Hamilton delivers a show for the ages
at Yankee Stadium, crushing 28 home runs in the
first round of the 2008 All-Star Home Run Derby.
Screaming Sports' Phil Yoon breaks out his famed
MLB Fantasy Minute and breaks down the MLB's top
five stories. Slow and steady wins the pitching race. Fill-in closers are getting the job done. And is Ryan Howard a fantasy MVP? Mr. Yoon has all if it covered and much more.
What more could you ask for? Ryan Howard
homered. Shane Victorino pulled back a homer to save
a run and later tripled in a pair of runs to send the game to extra innings. And, of course, the Phillies won on a Jayson Werth single in the 12th inning. Great win for the Phils! Click the link for all the highlights!
A while ago, I mockingly noted Ryan Howard's
poor start to the season and noted his high
total of strikeouts, putting him on pace to obliterate his own record for most K's in a season. Additionally, I laughed at the fact that teammate and pitcher ...
Two home runs by Ryan Howard powered the
Phillies to a 4-1 win over the Cardinals on
Thursday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.
Three high schoolers hit home runs in succession,
even better, they're triplets and did so in the
order of their birth!
Ryan Howard bashed two runs in yesterday's 4-1
victory over the Cardinals just after hitting what proved
to be the game winning homer on Wednesday evening. The Big Guy now stands at 27 home runs on the season. Nobody in baseball has more. ...

For the second time in 18 hours, the
Cardinals produced as many or fewer runs than Phillies
first baseman and Lafayette High alum Ryan Howard.
RYAN HOWARD DID IT again. And this time
it only took the game's worst great hitter -
or its greatest lousy hitter - a half-season to climb Mount Sewell. When the first baseman who leads the majors with 27 homers and the National League with 83 RBI ...
Much like Ron Howard’s movies, Ryan Howard’s swings
are hit or miss. Lately, he’s been more A
Beautiful Mind than The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. If he can just get the average up, he’ll reach the pinnacle of Night Shift . However, the chances of that are the same as Chase Utley marrying a mermaid . But Philly fans are smart enough to not look at just average. They ...
Yeah, whatever, it's a promo. But still pretty
amusing plus the raw power on these two beasts
is mind-blowing.
For everyone who has been criticizing Ryan Howard's
play this season, you can stop now. Yes, he
strikes out too much. Yes, he isn't going to hit for a high average. But, man, is he destroying the ball right now. He was the offense today, hitting his major-league leading 26th and 27th homers today to lead the Phillies over the Cardinals, 4-1. Click the link for more, including highlights.
Ryan Howard and Pedro Feliz slammed eighth-inning home
runs to propel the Phillies past the Cardinals, 4-2.
The Phils remain 1.5-games up in the NL East with their first win in their last five games. Howard’s was his 25th homer, tying teammate ...
[Video] When the Angels were in town in
June, Ryan Howard and Vladimir Guerrero teamed up with
their sponsor, Powerade, and crashed the FDR Golf Course on 20th & Pattison to film a commercial.
BATTING 3B: J Rollins (5, B Thompson) HR:
R Howard (25, 8th inning off K McClellan 0

The Phillies offense has been in a funk
lately but they did just enough to squeak past
the Cardinals, 4-2, and earn a victory that snapped their four game losing streak. The game was tied 2-2 in the 8th inning when Ryan Howard hit a homer to break the tie and Pedro Feliz followed three batters later with a homer of his own to give the Phils a 2 run cushion. Click the link for more, ...
Another loss to the Mets. Can we call
it a moral loss? Can we call it a
bad loss? Seriously, what can we call this? Adam Eaton gave the Phillies little chance to beat the Mets Monday night, giving up eight runs (six earned) on 10 hits in just 2.2 ...
Screaming Sports' Drew Thibodeau breaks out another edition
of MLB Trade 'Em and suggests some very surprising
moves. Trade Carlos Beltran? Ryan Howard? You betcha. And while it may sounds crazy, he follows it up with some very sound reasoning.
Is there such thing as "clutch" performance. Author
argues so, citing the difference between players average, slugging
and OPS in clutch situation and in non-clutch situations.
Lidge’s contract runs about the same length as
some of the other core players: Chase Utley is
signed through 2013, Jimmy Rollins is signed through 2011, Ryan Howard is under control (arbitration) until after the 2011 season, and Cole Hamels is under control until after the 2012 season. So, the Phillies should be competitive at least for the next two or three years.
Since my original discovery of a brand on
Ryan Howard’s left arm over a year ago, I’ve
been scouring various photo galleries for a a cleaner, full brand shot. Considering every photo I ever saw of the brand has been from Spring Training ...
I’m pretty sure I’ve touched on the subject
of high home run totals with low OPS+ figures
before, but watching Ryan Howard with the Phillies tonight, it’s worth talking about again. Howard hit his 23rd homer of the season earlier ...
