Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy of Philly.com Last night's Phillies game was an all-out disaster. Even though starter Roy Halladay struggled, he did not pitch so poorly that the Phillies should have had a chance. Granted, the Phillies should have scored some runs, but only down 4-0 with two outs in the seventh inning, there […]
Posted by Frank Klose New Era commercial The pre-game show on Fox Saturday baseball was all about the Red Sox and Yankees, even though locally we were to see the Phillies take on the Atlanta Braves. The commercial apparently were also for that series, though the one Phillies reference in a Red Sox – Yankees […]

Posted by Frank Klose Tuesday night, as Cole Hamels was getting lit up by the New York Mets and the bat of Chris Young (the pitcher, not outfielder), I noticed something very strange up in the 400 level: it was devoid of Mets fans. Of course then, it was devoid of heckling. In this piece […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy cbc.ca This Associated Press link has little to say. The Barry Bonds perjury case is going to the jury; soon we will know if he is guilty of perjury or not. And really, no one cares. The allegation of perjury stems to a 2003 hearing when Bonds was questioned about […]
Posted by Frank Klose I forget who made this pic, but I saved it then. Sometime around the Spring Training at bat when Manny Ramirez drilled Roy Oswalt in the head with a sharply-hit line drive, Ramirez was failed a performance enhancing drug test. Signed by the Tampa Bay Rays for the relatively inexpensive contract […]
