Ryan Howard & J-Roll - “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” (Remix)
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 ...

 Debunking The Derby

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 ...

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.  ...

Baseball 2.0: How to Hack a Bat - The Ryan Howard Speed Test (MUST-SEE!)
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!

 Philadelphia Phillies - Fishing Trip
Philadelphia Phillies - Fishing Trip
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 ...

The Best Hitters Up to the All Star Break
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

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

Phillies win in exciting fashion over the D-backs
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!

Bill Conlin: Howard's 27 homers outweigh his 125 strikeouts | Philadelphia Daily News | 07/11/2008

Ron Howard Disowns Clint, Adopts Ryan
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 ...

Red-hot Howard powers Phils past Cardinals again
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.

Phillies Extend Lidge
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.
