Ruiz Makes Strong All-Star Pitch, Worley Consistent As Phillies Top Pirates
Posted on 27 Jun 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
If you haven't voted for Carlos Ruiz for this year's All-Star game, you might want to help him out after performances like these. Ruiz is a distant third in All-Star voting for catchers even with some of the majors best numbers. He is first in the league in batting average (.361), second in OPS (1.006), third in on-base percentage (.427) and fifth in slugging percentage (.579), all in which i...

Santa Brings True Meaning of Free Agency
Posted on 17 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
While the weather outside is supposed to be frightful, the Hot Stove Season seems to have reached its Yuletide period of rest. Several of the “big names” have splashed around in the headlines establishing the market pricing. Now teams and players alike take their wish lists to Santa Claus only to realize that jolly old Saint Nick is powerless amid the face of supply and demand. There are o...

Sandberg Leads Phillies Minor League Staff
Posted on 26 Nov 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Phillies announced Monday that manager Ryne Sandberg and his entire coaching staff will return to guide the Triple-A Lehigh Valley club again next year. There had been speculation that Sandberg was being considered for the major league managing vacancies in Boston, St. Louis and Chicago but none of those jobs would pan out for the Hall of Famer. Sandberg's staff will include Sal Rende, ente...

Players Choice Awards: Halladay & Worley Finalists
Posted on 24 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Roy Halladay and Vance Worley are among the finalists for the Players Choice Awards, as voted by the players before the end of the regular season. These are often predictors for Cy Young Award finalists as well as other individual player awards (MVP, Rookie of Year). Halladay won the outstanding pitcher in the National League last year prior to adding his 2010 NL Cy Young Award. “Doc” is ag...

Phillies Fans Stages of Grief
Posted on 15 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Death is not something to be taken lightly, nor is a mere form of entertainment to be too closely compared to a serious issue. However, we as fans do have an emotional, vested interest in the fate of our team. When spending 7 months of time and effort to see the organization invest $175 million dollars into a baseball team and following that team every year, having the season end prematurely ...

Eagles Postgame: No More Tomorrows for Santa Claus
Posted on 11 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
There is nothing good about being 1-4 on the young 2011 season – especially with four straight losses. With due respect to the Bills, 49ers, Giants and Falcons the Eagles 1-4 record is misleading as it suggests that Philadelphia was defeated by superior teams. That has not been the case. In every game the Eagles have beaten themselves, ultimately snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by ...

Don’t Panic
Posted on 24 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
One week ago the Phillies clinched their fifth straight National League East Divisional title. Bragging rights remain in Philadelphia for the “phive-time” NL East champs who have amassed 89, 92, 93, 97 and 98 wins over the past five seasons (469 total, 93.8 AVG) – featuring a 2008 World Championship, 2 National League championship pennants, one NLCS exit and one NLDS exit from 2007-2011. ...

NY Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Blood Makes the Grass Grow – Kill, Kill, Kill!
Posted on 22 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
This week is the Eagles home opener. They debut at Lincoln Financial Field after two straight road dome games with outcomes that were decidedly diametrically opposite (and not at all the same). Whenever the Eagles and Giants face off, the game has meaning – usually like a well-funded, surprisingly organized, public paying for tickets, each team wearing uniforms type of street brawl. While t...

FOR WHOM THE (LIBERTY) BELL TOLLS
Posted on 17 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Philadelphia Phillies have finally clinched their fifth straight NL East divisional title dating back to 2007 and starting once again their run to the ultimate goal – the World Series. The Liberty Bell at Citizen’s Bank Park is not real but tonight the bell tolls for another accomplishment for the phive time NL East Divisional Champion Philadelphia Phillies. It took 150 games, 98 wins and 5...

September Sizzle in Philadelphia
Posted on 11 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Baseball is a numbers game. Numbers are what we use to determine winners, losers, champions and develop perspective. Statistics allow us to compare the 1927 Yankees with the 2005 Chicago White Sox and determine which champion was better. Statistics allow us to determine the top 10 starting rotations of all time – including entries from the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. U...

90 Wins the Soggy Way
Posted on 7 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Whether you were watching on TV or if you had slogged through torrential downpours for hours at the ballpark, the end of the game proved to be a classic reminder of why it is good to be a Phillies fan. Perhaps for one moment, it may have been easy to forget what year it was… or what team was in the visitors' dugout. Brad Lidge was on the mound. Eric Hinske was swinging at a slider in the di...

“TO” on DJax – “Show Him the Money!”
Posted on 7 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
This just in… Terrell Owens has an opinion on the Philadelphia Eagles – and we get to hear it whether we’re interested or not. Six years after wreaking havoc on the Eagles organization with childish behavior, flamboyant antics and generally being a self-centered pain in the ass, the unemployed NFL receiver and questionable reality TV show host is still trying to cause trouble. This time ...
