An absolute bombshell was dropped in the Philly sports world while I was at the gym this morning (I workout sometimes). Joe Girardi is out as Phillies manager. Rob Thomson interim — Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyNBCS) June 3, 2022 After writing a mere three days ago about the pros and cons of firing Joe […]
Here is my pitch for a city-wide slogan regarding the Philadelphia sports teams: Philly sports, where the hope is plentiful, but the pain and suffering is endless. That’s the kind of Tuesday it was in the Delaware Valley. The day had every bit of predictable frustration you could possibly imagine. The Phillies played way […]
Philadelphia sports are the real life embodiment of Michael Corleone from The Godfather: Part III, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” The Eagles have resembled that quote pretty much every year since 2017, the Sixers have been that way since they decided to start trying to win basketball games, […]
The Philadelphia Phillies are one game under .500 as I write this sentence here in mid-May. Chances are, the Phillies will hover around this mark all the way through the regular season’s conclusion in the first week of October. Since coming out of their “rebuild” in 2017, the Phillies have a record of 211-218 over […]
What a playoff level atmosphere on Sunday Night Baseball tonight with the Braves and the Phillies squaring off. Alec Bohm, who continues to be one of the most clutch humans alive, gets a lead off double in the top of the ninth. After Jean Segura got him to third, we had this chaotic tag […]

Just as the Oracle Bryce Harper predicted. Thanks to some band aids […]
In a rare interview for Barstool Sports Starting 9 podcast, Phillies star Bryce Harper opened up for two hours about his life in quarantine and his baseball career thus far. His story is a great American tale about a young prodigy who worked hard to make it big as the first overall pick and make […]
Last offseason, John Middleton made headlines with his “stupid money” comment. That “stupid money” netted the Phillies Bryce Harper. Could one of Harper’s former team-mates be next? According to USA Todays Bob Nightengale, “the Philadelphia Phillies, luxury tax be damned, plan to strongly pursue free-agent third baseman Anthony Rendon, two people with direct knowledge told […]
Feels like a century ago Bryce Harper blasted a moonshot into a scorn of Phillies fans in the right field bleachers of Citizens Bank South. Our fans drowned out the home team with chants of “We got Harper!” as the Phillies raced out to an early division lead. Now, we have Harper. And the […]
The 2009 World Series is still fresh in the minds of Phillies fans. A World Series that the Phillies were favorites to win and repeat their 2008 title. However, the Yankees and their new young up-and-coming manager, Joe Girardi, shocked the Phillies, and won the title in 6-games. Now, Joe Girardi, who Phillies fans know […]
