These weekly posts of mine will be based on a rotisserie format using a traditional 5×5 scoring system to keep things simple. Personally I prefer more statistics in my leagues (which is why I was the commissioner in one of my leagues), but in order to reach the most readers we will just [...]
Phillies 2009 Year in Review And a Sneak Peak at 2010
The Philadelphia Phillies accomplished quite a bit in 2009, despite falling just short of the coveted World Series Championship repeat. In fact, just getting back to the Fall Classic showed quite a bit of determination, and, to make it more impressive, they did it with a team that was inferior to their 2009 Championship squad. [...]
Congratulations to the 2009 World Series Champion NY Yankees
Although my prediction was the Phillies in 6 or 7 games, it was still a good series to watch and I’m so glad that it wasn’t another sweep!Here are some Yankees links to help you Yankee fans to celebrate your impressive 27th title!From the Subway Squawkers: Yankees win No. 27 – time to stand up [...]

After you read it, [...]

Get Over It!
Image via Wikipedia
For those of us that are not Yankees or Phillies fans, perhaps we should simply put our disappointments and jealousies aside and enjoy what should truly be a Fall Classic.
Believe me, as a lifetime Mets fan, I am as unhappy as anyone that I have to sit through another World Series featuring [...]

Braves Run Scored, Run Scored Against Analysis
There’s Hope in Atlanta for 2010!
I’ve noticed this year, like many before, that the Braves seem to lose against teams that have losing records. I’ve got guesses for this, but with 162 games, all teams will do this on occasion anyway.
One such guess is that the Braves often score less runs against certain teams than [...]
The “Mess” Which Transpired in Queens
Do we ever hear enough “Meet the Mess,” jokes? The line does become overplayed like the latest Lady GaGa track and unfortunately for the Mets, they have not done much to have us believe otherwise. I mean, let’s face it. It has been more than a disappointing season for the team with the second [...]

The nice people at Guideposts.com have been kind enough to allow us to bring these stories of current Major League players in their entirety while I’m away on vacation. So without further ado…Jamie Moyer proves that good guys can finish first By Louis Berney.
This Good Guy Finishes First

Friday Night Links
It is out of regret that we have to use this section to once again announce the departure of 2 more writers, but we do have 2 additional writing coming on board, but he will not (as of yet) be covering a specific team.
The two gentlemen who will be leaving us are Tony DeMarco who [...]
Despite Ailments, Streaking Mets Keep NL East Tight
Really? Come on. If this is a surprise then the last few years must be a bit fuzzy to the memory. What has become an annual drama-filled, slug-fest between the New York Mets and bitter rival Philadelphia Phillies has come to fruition once again this season as the two teams remain inseparable atop the National [...]
Phillies Fans It Is Not Time To Panic
If you have been watching the Phillies lately you may be wondering just where exactly DID the offense go? Or you may be wondering how it is possible that Chase Utley and Ryan Howard were a combined 0-22 with 12 strikeouts in their series with the Dodgers this past week. This is a very tough [...]

Goodbye Harry Kalas
When Harry Kalas passed from this life earlier today, he took a piece of me with him. I have never met Harry or spoken to him personally, but he has spoken to me for hours at a time, over the course of my baseball-listening life. I grew up in the South Jersey area, and [...]

Baseball Seasons to Open Across the World this Week
Major League Baseball is not the only league in the World to have their season kick off next week when the Atlanta Braves visit the World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies. Most baseball fans in North America will be tuned in to see the Phillies receive their rings in a nationally televised event, but that is [...]
Hello Goodbye: A Site Update
It’s been a while since I’ve introduced a few of our writers and in the past I have done so before they actually posted on the site. But, I guess I’m just a little rusty, it IS spring training after all. So, without further adieu, here are the latest to have agreed to write on [...]
Reviewing the 2008 World Series Program
There is no doubt that the story lines for this year’s World Series were endless as the Phillies, a historic baseball franchise, were heading back to the Series to try to end a quarter century drought, and the Rays, who had never even had a winning season in their history, faced off.
As one can expect, [...]

We contacted Chad to talk about the World Series, his career and to discuss ShowcaseU.com which he co-founded. Showcase U gives high school student athletes a way to showcase themselves so that they [...]
MLB Insiders Club Magazine: A Product Review
Reading a name that proclaims something to be an “Insider’s Club,” one would tend to believe that they would receive information through this publication that others would not be able to receive. In some ways, this is true of the MLB Insiders Club Magazine, which is sent out monthly to its members and costs $24 [...]
Philadelphia Phillies Off Season Report
Season Wrap Up
The Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays, MLB’s Cinderella story of 2008, to become the World Series Champs! What more needs to be said about 2008 except that Cole Hamels proved that he IS a # 1 starter with his performance in the playoffs. Just in case anyone was questioning his ability on [...]
Philadelphia is One Win Away from Baseball Euphoria!
After this weekend the Phillies have taken a commanding 3 games to 1 lead over the Rays going into tonight’s game at home at Citizen’s Bank Park.
In game 3, the Phillies 45 year old starter Jamie Moyer pitched better than anyone thought was possible against the Rays Matt Garza (MVP of the ALCS). He pitched [...]
My Thoughts on Game 1…
Phillies Take Game 1 with a Score of 3-2
First, I’ll toot my own horn. This was a must win for the Phillies. They needed to win at least 1 out of 2 in Tampa Bay in order to have any chance at winning the series. This was their best chance at doing that with the [...]
2008 World Series Preview
Tampa Bay Rays (97-65)
Vs.
Philadelphia Phillies (92-70)
This first area of concern I have is how long the Phillies had to wait for the Rays to eliminate the Red Sox (95-67). It has been a week since the Phillies have played against an opponent as they eliminated the Dodgers (84-78) in 5 games while the Rays [...]

Rays and Phillies Move Closer Together
Tampa Bay Rays Lead the Series 2-1
Yesterday afternoon saw what some thought was the unthinkable in this post season. Jon Lester got hit hard and earned the loss against the Rays. Yesterday I called Lester “the Beast of the East” and if this series goes to game 7 and he pitches like he has the [...]
League Championship Series Update
ALCS
In today’s matinee, the Red Sox will host the Rays at 96 year old Fenway Park in game 3 of their ALCS showdown. The series is tied at 1 game a piece going into these 3 games in Boston. The Rays need to win only 1 game in order to bring this series back to [...]
