Posted by Frank Klose According to today's Philadephia Inquirer, the Phillies went 49-19 in their final 60 games. I thought the Phillies were just so good that they won eight of their losses. But, it turns out the Phillies were 41-19 in their final 60 games. That's pretty good, I guess. The Phillies entered play […]
Posted by Frank Klose No, I do not work for Modell's, nor are they paying me to say this. In fact, I'm paying to have this blog to say this. But – Modell's on Cottman Avenue in Northeast Philly has Pence shirts, and they're taking them out of the boxes bit by bit as I […]
Posted by Frank Klose Approximately 12:57 a.m. early Wednesday morning, Phillies pitcher Vance Worley joined the Twitter world. Despite being so late, Worley amassed over 1,000 followers within 30 minutes, with no tweet beyond the one posted above. @MikeStutes tweeted him, so it's likely legit… If you were sleeping, add him…

However, shortly after noticing the #5, loyal reader Jeremy a.k.a. @jjbuttons noticed another flub on Yahoo sports. Wilson Valdez is listed on the Phillies' roster as a pitcher: If you don't trust the screen cap, […]

Posted by Frank Klose Sorry if the photo ended up broken earlier. Thanks to @ohwtfmatt for the photo.
We had this piece back on June 1 calling for him. Sounds like Minnesota isn't in the mood to deal, though they could use a roster spot soon when Span comes off the DL… The Phillies really do need a player on the bench that can belt a home run that the opposing manager worries […]
Posted by Frank Klose Of course Philies fans want to run out and get a custom Hunter Pence jersey before tonight's game. Heck, last year I went and got an Oswalt in time for his first game played. But what number will Pence wear? Todd Zolecki was first to comment on it: However, Yahoo Sports […]
