Remember that time when that cute little girl threw the foul ball away during that one Phillies game? Awwwww. Remember when Bruntlett had that amazing unassisted triple play and everyone forget how much he kind of sucked? Yesssss. The season may be over, but the voting and awards aren't yet! The 2009 This Year in Baseball Awards nominees have been announced and quite a few Phils are in the running....

There is a solid case for Manuel to win the NL Manager of the Year But I don't think it will happen. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel entered the season guiding the defending World Series champions but he had a lot of adversity within the team to overcome en route to a third consecutive NL East title and second straight trip to the World Series. His "ace" Cole Hamels was anything but all season,...
It is a trade that worked out well for the Phillies On this day in 1997 the Phillies traded shortstop Kevin Stocker to the new Tampa Bay Devil Rays franchise in exchange for Bobby Abreu . Abreu was one of the best hitters on the team his entire career in Philadelpia and played a key role in turning the franchise around. One of the most patient batters on the Phillies, Abreu provided the team with some...
Last week, I mused about where Adrian Beltre, Mike Cameron and Mike Jacobs could end up. Today, I bring you two more potential fits. OMAR VIZQUEL Omar Vizquel is coming off what you could consider a career renaissance at age 42, serving as the Texas Rangers' backup infielder after rubbing shoulders with Mario Mendoza the previous year in San Francisco, where he spent four years. Vizquel saw 177 at-bats,...
Yesterday Shane got married in Hawaii. It was found that all players were in attendance, however, Hamels had to leave during the best man speech to breast feed Charlie Manuel. Some other notes from the wedding is that Rollins bought Shane and his new wife matching surf boards. That got me thinking....when the hell do you get matching surf boards, let alone from a person like Jimmy Rollins. One would...
So, yeah, that new format didn't work out so well. I was hoping it would be easier for me to put together, but would be much more work to get it to work properly. Oh well, you're stuck with the old-fashioned way. Meet the Mets The Mets promised an an AVERAGE across-the-board decrease in season ticket prices of 10%, but some fans are getting smaller price breaks . Outrage ensues . While the Citi Field...

Just a few links for you today. Enjoy your weekend. Phillies’ Utley wins fourth straight Silver Slugger Award Yay. Bowa didn't change, so Phillies did Bowa "shaped" Jimmy Rollins ? I only remember that he wanted to turn him into a Junior Juan Pierre . Phillies apparently looking at 3 for third base Polanco at third base, about four years too late? And when was the last time he played...

More photos » by Ted S. Warren - AP Browse more photos » That some players are streakier than others is, for most baseball observers, nothing short of self-evident. Some guys get hot and stay hot only to descend into the depths of a terrible slump that can last for a month or more. Other guys go to the park, go one-for-three with a walk and a double, go home, eat a steak, and hit the sack,...
As Thursday is here and there is so much going on in the baseball world I plan to give some tidbits of everything plus the kitchen sink in the posting. As the season has ended over a week ago....it is time to start handing out some hardware. As all of you may know that yesterday Phillies phinest was awarded two more Gold Gloves by yours truly Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino. Here are the stats that...
PHILADELPHIA – Chase Utley ripped a no-doubt-about-it shot to right, put his head down and ran around the bases so quickly he nearly passed Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino. Even in the World Series, Utley doesn't pause to admire his homers. He's had plenty of opportunities, too, connecting five times to tie Reggie Jackson's record set in 1977 with the Yankees. "Obviously it's great company," Utley...
PHILADELPHIA – By the ninth inning, Phillies fans were preparing for the worst. The New York Yankees were at it again, chipping away at a dwindling lead and threatening to take away the Phils' World Series title right there at Citizens Bank Park. Desperate to hang on, somehow Chase Utley and the Phillies did. Derek Jeter grounded into a double play, Mark Teixeira struck out, and Philadelphia staved...
