The Mets finished 23 games out of first
place, and yet, there is a lot to get
excited about. I'm not going to go all Jimmy Rollins and declare the Mets the team to beat, but I'm optimistic. Here are five reasons why: 1. Jeff Francoeur- A rare bright spot from last year, the acquistion ...

I feel like I just woke up from
a bad nightmare. Last season was by far the
most difficult experience I've had as baseball fan. So difficult, that I quit on my team (and my blog for that matter). Watching the Mets literally limp their way to a 70-92 record was hard enough. But watching ...

With baseball articles thin to come by these
days, here's another feather you can stick in your
cap Philly. According to a list recently put out by Forbes Magazine , Philly ranked the 5th MOST Toxic City in the United States, only to be out-toxified by Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago & ...

Today at 2 p.m. the National League Rookie
of the Year award will be announced. It appears
to be a four man race at this point: Chris Coghlan, Tommy Hanson, Andrew McCutchen, J.A. Happ. Actually depending on who you ask, it's only a three-horse race excluding our man J.A. and the fine ...

You know if there's one certainty in this
world, it is that Philadelphia fans are ignorant idiots
who make playing in this lovely city absolutely unbearable. They're ruthless. Cold-hearted. Unforgiving. They throw batteries and unmercifully boo everyone from star players to Santa Claus. ...

Yesterday we talked about the Phillies and potential
bullpen acquisitions . Today, we'll talk third base, a
position that Philly hasn't had a long-term answer at since, well unless Scott Rolen coutns, not in my lifetime. Pedro Feliz's $5.5 Million option for 2010 has been declined so the ...

Just about every news and rumors site is
talking about the Phillies and all the many relief
pitchers that they are "in contact with" and kicking the tires on. Most of these rumors are probably true because the Phillies are in dire need of some bullpen help. So before we talk about who the ...

So the World Series from Hell is over

degree of satisfaction from watching Shane "Shame" Victorino make the final out of the Series and watch him slink back to the dugout). That can only mean one thing: Hot Stove season is heating up. Here's a list ...

The last time that Cole Hamels did something
off that field that was funny and/or cool might
have been when he called the Mets choke artists (never gets old). But right now, Cole Hamels is in the middle of a controversial commercial-advertisement-type internet spot for the hot new video game, ...

Well it took some time to get back
to the blog after the World Series finale. It
wasn't so much a bitterness, more like a detox. I needed to shut the book on 2009, laugh, cry, whatever, and get ready for another fun offseason of trades and signings and Scott Boras (that part is no fun). In ...

Only Jimmy Rollins could find himself all over
the internet the morning after losing the World Series
to the Yankees without blowing the game the night before. Jimmy obviously made a big old prediction to start the series because... that's what he does. The Phillies didn't make good on that ...

If I learned anything in winning the World
Series last season, it taught me nothing about how
to deal with losing one. Watching a season slip away after coming so close spawned some emotions that I have never dealt with as a Phillies fan. It takes everything I have to fight off the bitter ...

This Cole Hamels story has taken on a
mind of it's own. I've probably read about it
at every website and blog I visited yesterday. The response was largely the same, "how dare you", "send him home", "he sucks". That had to be expected because Cole committed one of team sports biggest crimes ...

Sorry for this post coming so late in
the day, but I think I developed an ulcer
during the ninth inning of last night's game. Two men on and Derek Jeter up, with no outs nonetheless, I was in knots. Madson closed out the game for the win, but not without nearly causing me to develop a hole ...
