Major League Baseball is brilliant. Alex Rodriguez hired famous New York City defense attorney Joe Tacopina to represent him, who scheduled an appearance on NBC's Today Show and sat down with Matt Lauer. Tacopina showed up prepared to challenge baseball to waive the confidentiality agreement and said: If the Vice President of Major […]
As the trade deadline passed this afternoon at 4 PM ET, many of us were shocked at what the Phillies' front office had done – or not done – this July 31st. As other teams made their bids and sold their assets the Phillies stood pat and did not sell or buy any body. While […]
Apparently short on relievers with 5.75 ERAs, the Phillies have expressed interest in Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain, reports Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News. Feinsand indicated that Michael Young could be the one dealt. A Young-for-Chamberlain deal would be a matter of dumping salary. National League sources say the Phillies are amenable […]
We can fully expect the Phillies to be in the middle of Major League Baseball trade talk between now and the July 31 deadline. As the team continues to remain below the .500 mark, with no real sign of improvement, the team may have to make some tough decisions. And many will involve some popular […]

The Phillies have been eliminated from playoff contention and are fighting to finish the season with a winning record. As the season winds down and I am realizing that I will have a lot more time on my hands than I have the last five years, one question remains: Who will I root for this […]
Cody Ross. The one who once pitched an inning against the Phillies as a Marlin and the one who once killed the Phillies in the National League Championship Series back in 2010. Could Ross goe from foe to friend? National Baseball Writer Nick Carfardo of the Boston Globe is reporting that the Phillies and Yankees […]
Some heavily discounted merch in the Majestic Clubhouse Store In today's Inquirer piece by Frank Fitzpatrick, the Phillies' place in the standings is not the only thing taking a hit. Citing a report, Fitzpatrick says Phillies merchandise sales are down 60 percent from last year. The team, however, still has some of the best […]
I want to start by making mention of something: Shane Victorino has been a really good Phillie. He is not a Hall-of-Famer, sure, but he was a major, major part of the best run in team history. He was an almost symbolic part of them bullying the Mets out of the way, and taking over […]
