Back at it after a day away from it all yesterday. Should have a few more posts today. Today's post is courtesy of Dan Turkenkopf from The Hardball Times.

PHILADELPHIA – All those meetings on the mound called by catcher Jorge Posada and the New York Yankees are giving Major League Baseball pause, too. Posada and pals visited pitcher CC Sabathia eight times — in a single inning — on Sunday night, grinding Game 4 of the World Series to a standstill. Agitated Phillies fans booed each trip. MLB vice president of umpiring Mike Port said
PHILADELPHIA – Alex Rodriguez has one more reason to love the camera. His disputed drive into the right-field corner, originally ruled a double, was changed into a two-run homer when video technology was used to reverse a call for the first time in World Series history. "Well, it's only fitting, right?" Rodriguez said. He also homered in the first regular-season use of replay last year.

We all have fond memories of the 2009 baseball season for our Phillies. Over the next few days I will be sharing some of my fondest memories of the season. We all have our own moments that stand out and many of us will share the same fond memories. Feel free to share yours in the comments section below. Championship rings and a remarkable comeback The season did not start well for the 2008 world champions...
Quick thoughts: -Good Burnett followed by Bad Burnett has been pretty much the story of his season, and really of his career. Really, given that the Hated Yankees' middle relief has been so bad, it's been hugely important that until last night, they hadn't had a starter knocked out of the box before the sixth inning. Pettitte and Sabathia will need to come up strong on short rest to avoid having more...
The 105th edition of Major League Baseball's World Series 2009 Game 5 played on Monday, November 2, 2009 at 7.57 PM (ET) at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Yankees failed to close out the Game 5. The New York Yankees scored first in the first inning, with a Johnny Damon reaching base with a single and then scoring on a two-out double by Alex Rodriguez. Game 4 New York Yankees...
Many fans at Citizens Bank Park bounced with edgy, nervous energy last night as the Phillies fought for their baseball lives, but two friends in Section 314 stayed calm.
(By RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Writer) 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.
One thing is for certain: This is the last baseball game in Philadelphia this year. The Phillies, down 3 games to 1, look to stay alive in the 2009 World Series behind their ace Cliff Lee, who has been virtually unhittable the entire postseason. He'll be opposed by A.J. Burnett, who was virtually unhittable in Game Two. Keep that glimmer of hope alive. Lineup New York Yankees @ Philadelphia Phillies...
The Phillies are chasing the Yankees right now, down 3-1 First I would like to apologize for the lack of updates on this site over the crucial World series weekend. An unfortunate time for my auto-scheduled posts to fail me I must say. But regardless we move on. Rather than rehash each painful mistake in the previous two games that have put the Phillies down 3-1 in the series and on the brink of elimination,...
