Last week Bryce Harper posted on his Instagram a picture of himself photoshopped in a Yomiuri Giants uniform from Japan’s Nippon League. The caption asked if the team was awake (since Japan and the United States have a 10 hour time zone difference) and that he’s got some time to kill. He even mentioned that […]
It’s the middle of Winter and the Phillies are the furthest thing from our minds. We’re thinking the Sixers getting James Freakin’ Harden, the Super Bowl, what the Eagles should do in the offseason, and occasionally we think about how bad the Flyers are. And after another massively disappointing Phillies season last year, most of […]
The news is official: Bryce Harper has won his 2nd career National League MVP award and has entered rare territory for winning it for two different teams. In fact, just him and Barry Bonds are the only two players to win an MVP for two different teams before turning the age of 30. Both of […]
Think about where you were on August 8, 2021. It was a beautiful summer day, the Phillies officially retired the number 34 in honor of the late great Roy Halladay. Zack Wheeler took the mound and honored Doc by throwing a complete game shutout against the Mets, his former team. It was the moment that […]
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 […]
There’s no more optimistic time in sports than opening week of the baseball season. As the Phillies first take the field, March Madness is winding down and the weather gets warmer. And even if the Phillies have a bad night we can still watch the Flyers and the Soaring Sixers instead. And best of all […]
The annual Baseball Hall of Fame voting has recently taken place and the once-exciting tradition of electing a player into the pantheon of baseball immortality has become a drag. Instead of celebration it just sparks repetitive debates about the voting process, off-field character issues for nominees, and whether or not steroid users should be elected […]
Besides the Seattle Mariners, no team in the MLB needs a postseason birth as badly as the Phillies. The last moment of October baseball remains Ryan Howard’s Achilles tearing up in the last out of the infamous 1-Bloody-Nil game, a bitter end to the most glorious era in team history. The Phils endured five years […]
Very few figures in sports, and in the world for that matter, have an aura like Theo Epstein. At the age of 28 he became the youngest general manager in MLB history of the Boston Red Sox. Within a couple of years he built a team capable of overcoming a 3-0 deficit in the American […]
