Don't underestimate the work done by Rollins here. He's providing the beat in that way somebody in sixth grade always would, by banging on a desk. His knuckles have to be sore by the end of the song...

Philadelphia Phillies' 1B Ryan Howard hit his major-league leading 29th HR last night and drove in his NL-leading 85th RBI. With such gaudy RBI totals, one would expect an AVG better than Howard's current .234. How can he have such a low AVG and great RBIs? His AVG with RISP is .325! Looking over his career, he hasn't been consistently better with RISP though. Can he persist with the RBIs if his AVG...

There's no doubt that we are in a golden age of individual Phillie performances. In Ryan Howard , Chase Utley , Jimmy Rollins , and Pat Burrell , we have four of the best Phillies to ever play the game at their position. If it weren't for Steve Carlton's Hall of Fame career, most of it with the Phils, we might be able to say the same about Cole Hamels in the position of lefty starter, but that would...

If you tuned in to ESPN this evening to take in the annual All-Star Home Run Derby, you wouldn’t have seen some of the names you might have expected. There’s no A-Rod or Manny. No Ryan Howard or Adam Dunn. Luckily, a guy named Josh Hamilton put on the show of a [...]

NEW YORK -- This year's Home Run Derby lineup boasted plenty of slugging power. Just not much star power. No Ryan Howard, the 2006 winner and current National League home run leader. No Albert Pujols, the feared St. Louis slugger...

Last week, I tuned into a little sports talk radio to get the city’s pulse on the 76ers acquisition of Elton Brand. The Philadelphia fans are very much looking forward to the upcoming NBA season to say the least. There was another topic on the show that was of greater concern to me. It has been the Philadelphia Phillies fans treatment of star [...]

SAN DIEGO -- He has as many home runs as Houston's Lance Berkman. More runs batted in than Milwaukee slugger Prince Fielder. He is hitting 45 points higher than former MVP Ryan Howard. And he's arguably as smooth at fielding his position as Derrek Lee, the Cubs' Gold Glover. read more

Ryan Howard hit his Major League-leading 28th home run. The Phils used seven pitchers to seal the deal. The Phils and D-Back are at it again this afternoon at 3:55. Elsewhere, the...
