John Bowker is the new Matt Stairs
Posted on 31 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Phillies added some bench help before tonight’s waiver trade deadline. They acquired left-handed-hitting outfielder John Bowker from the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named or cash considerations. To make room for Bowker on the 25-man roster, the Phillies optioned right-hander Michael Schwimer to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, they placed Jose C...

Return to Normal
Posted on 28 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Now that Hurricane Irene has blown into and out of town over most of the Eastern Seaboard (west as far as the Ohio River Valley), all that remains is to drain the swollen rivers, calm the raging seas and clean up the debris of fallen trees and scattered weekend plans. Irene’s storms and winds washed out most of the MLB games in the Eastern Time Zone as Florida, the Carolinas, the Mid-Atlant...

Philadelphia Phillies: Jimmy Rollins and the Best Shortstops in Team History
Posted on 22 Aug 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
Offensive production is expected from the shortstop in modern times, but back in the old days, fielding took precedence over hitting. Yeah you had your Honus Wagners and Ernie Banks, but it was Cal Ripken, Jr. who revolutionized the position when he stormed onto the scene in 1982 winning the Rookie of the Year and then MVP the following season. At 6'4, you just didn't see shortstops do what...

Philadelphia Eagles: What to Look for in Tonight’s Game Against Pittsburgh
Posted on 18 Aug 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in the second week of preseason play. I'm interested to see how the newly revamped offensive line - Jason Kelce and Danny Watkins specifically - will do against the vaunted Dick Lebeau Steelers defense. Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid stated that the offensive starters will play the entire first half. Last week against Baltimor...

Polanco Sports Hernia Potentially Problematic
Posted on 17 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Placido Polanco will try to finish the season playing with a sports hernia injury – or to be accurate, not playing and then attempting to play. Much like when the team chose to allow Chase Utley to rest for two months the outcome could potentially be problematic or positively productive. Only time will tell. Following Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Arizona, retroactive to Aug. 7 Polanco was placed on ...

Philadelphia Eagles: Awesomeugha Football is Back!!!
Posted on 12 Aug 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
So we didn't see much of the first stringers, they only played one series, but the first offensive drive from the Birds put a smile on all of the Eagles fans faces. Michael Vick carried the wave of momentum from last season into that drive by going 4/6 for 74 yards. He finished the possession by throwing a three-yard touchdown pass to Brent Celek. The drive was also highlighted by a well thrown...

Phillies Never Down or Out
Posted on 2 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
August is upon us. Phillies are now 30 games over the. 500 mark, with the best record in MLB (69-39). They improved their offense with a trading deadline deal for Hunter Pence and are in the midst of reclaiming their vaunted Four Aces (Roy Oswalt is due back by week’s end while Vance Worley has been sterling in his absence). What more is needed to acknowledge that the Phillies can finally b...

Destiny…Mystery…Dynasty…History
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Championships are as much about good planning as they are good luck – as much the result of good general management as they are good management. Baseball decisions must be made on the field as a direct result of personnel and financial decisions made in the front office. The Carpenter Family (headed by R.R.Ms son “Bob” and grandson “Ruly”) owned and operated the Phillies since taking ...

Amaro Bags Hunter Pence
Posted on 29 Jul 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
On what has become the most frenetic day of dealing in Philadelphia sports history, Nnamdi Asomugha is not the only new athlete being welcomed into town. The Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros are finalizing a trade that will send OF Hunter Pence to the Phillies, according to multiple reports. Pence was removed from the Astros' Friday night game in the fifth inning and was seen saying go...

NL Best Getting Better
Posted on 29 Jul 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Deadline deals are being made while this is written, but the National League boasts three true titans. In fact, the Phillies, Giants and Atlanta Braves rank among the top 5 teams in MLB for overall record, win differential and most pitching categories (Red Sox and Yankees being the remaining two) but what happens when these teams play head-to-head? The Phillies and Giants just completed a three...

If you could take 30 seconds and PLEASE hit the “like” button on the link I provided not only on the facebook like but also where the comments section is below it would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately the audio didn't come out the way I would've liked, but hopeful...

No Pence for Phillies
Posted on 28 Jul 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
In the light of day, we now have heard what kinds of Trading Deadline deals are being rejected. Apparently the Phillies had targeted Houston Astros Hunter Pence as their answer to their search for a right-handed hitting corner outfielder. Plans to bring Pence on board to hit fifth behind Ryan Howard and solidify the right field position have been thwarted, causing Ruben Amaro and company to hea...
