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 […]

It seems like forever ago when a young doe-eyed Matt Klentak was hired to replace the unpopular Ruben Amaro Jr. as the new general manager of the Phillies. Now, five years later, everyone in Philly has a great appreciation for Amaro. In the Phillies attempt to rebuild themselves back to October glory they added decent […]

Last fall, Phillies owner, John Middleton sat in a crowded conference room and expressed his disgruntlement with back to back September collapses under then manager, Gabe Kapler. Middleton called the collapses ‘unacceptable’ and said it played a large part in the Phillies moving on to search for another manager.  The Phils front office decided to […]

Crazy? You’re crazy for thinking they wouldn’t. I know in the cookie cutter world we live in today where everything has to be cut and dry, everyone assumes Wins directly correlate to good things and Losses directly correlates to bad things. But, that’s because you haven’t opened your third eye to the game of virtual […]

"We have to go on a streak and win, ya know, 9 out of 10. It needs to happen." — Known prophet @bryceharper3 pic.twitter.com/7SdAF88JGP — Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) September 4, 2020 That 9 out of the last 10. 10 of the last 11. Just as the Oracle Bryce Harper predicted. Thanks to some band aids […]

There’s losing and then there’s choking, but there is also puking, and that’s exactly what the Phillies did against the almighty Baltimore Orioles. While the 2020 Orioles look somewhat better than their abominable 2018 and 2019, this is still not the 1983 Orioles we’re talking about here. In a game that turned out to be […]

In the 8th inning of tonight’s Orioles vs Phillies game, we saw a bare handed jump pass from a pitcher, Tim Tebow Florida style to throw out a runner stealing home. It wouldn’t even register as one of the Top 5 whackiest moments of the game that was. The Phillies Bad News Bear’s themselves out […]

  When looking at the final score of the most recent Phillies game against the Atlanta Braves without having watched the game itself one would assume that the Phils won an entertaining shoot-out. In actuality it was really a blow out win and another pitching gem by ace Aaron Nola, whose clearly returning to more […]
