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 […]
Average… A number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean. Ring a bell? Average, mediocre, ordinary, indifferent, however you want to describe it, the Philadelphia Phillies have been just that over the past two seasons. However, could changes to the Philadelphia […]
The Washington Nationals are going to the World Series. That’s it, that’s the article. It’s the franchise’s first ever World Series appearance, exercising the demons of Blue Monday in 1981 and the Players Strike of 1994 as the Montreal Expos, and the four division titles with four first round exits as the Washington Nationals.

Phillies front office members John Middleton, Andy MacPhail and Matt Klentak held a press conference this afternoon as sort of a post-mortem of the 2019 season.

A group that had many of their decisions go awry during the season, now starts the offseason the same way. While it’s Kapler whose job seems to be hanging in the balance, it’s Matt Klentak […]
As of this writing, the Phillies have yet to make an official decision on the future of manager Gabe Kapler despite signs of his imminent departure. I am not expecting any announcement or resolution to Phillies personnel matters today. The intrigue continues. — Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyNBCS) October 2, 2019 The saga that has been going […]

It’s not truly fall unless I’m undergoing some sort of season-ending emotional turmoil with the Phillies. I care! No I don’t! We’re going to win it all! We will never win another game! Well, everybody, by that measure, fall has officially started. Phillies GM Matt Klentak participated in interviews this week while the Phillies finished […]
