Let’s hope they’re right
Take a look at this simulation of the World Series. It has the Rockies winning it all in seven games, and let’s hope they’re right. But look a bit closer at the game 1 prediction: Red Sox 11, Rockies 2. That’s scary accurate, but look even closer at the box score. It has Mike Lowell...
Chasing Larry Bird
The minute I heard Chase Utley, my mind instantly went to another victory parade. A Larry Bird Boston Celtics victory parade.
Single Tear of Joy
That my friends is an image of solace, hope, joy, and beauty. Yes, that's Chase Utley in the batter's box, as he was back in action yesterday for the first time since walking off the Citizens Bank Park field as a World Series champion. In the minor league spring training game, he went 2-4 at the plate and played 4 innings at 2nd base without any problems physically. My...
Top 5 Goggled Athletes
For the past couple nights Kevin Youkilis has donned a sweet pair of goggles to help cover that nasty swollen eye after being hit with a throw from Mike Lowell. That thing looked more damaged than Brett Myers' girlfriend in the middle of the Boston streets. Let's hope Youk can make a full recovery and beat this swollen eye. If not, at least we can check out some really cool...
A Few Sox Saturday Updates
Mikey is back and looks good – Mike Lowell was in the lineup last night against the Yankees, holding down the four spot in between Ortiz and Drew. That is a pretty solid 3-4-5 if you ask me. Mikey had his first fielding opportunity of the spring in the first inning which turned into an inning-ending double play. He then led off in the second inning and took a high fastball...
Utley Picks Up Where He Left Off
Chase Utley is taking his final steps to getting closer to Grapefruit League action. He could appear in spring training games as early as next week.
Today, Utley played in a Phillies Minor League scrimmage and felt no pain. (...)

Ugly Clooney
BY Lucas Pearson , October 15th, 2007
As the 2006 season approached, I was very excited about the addition of Josh Beckett to the Boston rotation. As hard as it was to say goodbye to Hanley Ramirez, who was sure to be a star, it was worth it to obtain a young pitcher that could immediately become the ace of the staff.There was also a lot of talk about the albatross that...
Top 15: Biggest Thieves in Baseball - Hitters
Last Week I gave you all the pitcher edition of the Top Ten Biggest Thieves in Baseball. I actually started that post with Top 20 and realized a lot of the pitchers made a case and thus decided to separate them into a separate category. Really all pitchers making over 5 Million are thieves since they only play at best 20% of the season. I guess it's a good thing I waited until...
Quotable: Chase's Hip Responds Well in Minor League Spring Action
Comcast's John Finger is in Florida for a few weeks to keep tabs on the Phils, and today he reports that Chase Utley got some game action in. Playing both sides of a minor league game, Chase got four ABs and four innings of defense in, going 2-4 with a ground-rule double and two Ks. When asked about his progress in recovering from hip surgery, Chase responded favorably.“Everything...
Phillies use late homers to snap 4 game losing streak
The Phillies offense has been in a funk lately but they did just enough to squeak past the Cardinals, 4-2, and earn a victory that snapped their four game losing streak. The game was tied 2-2 in the 8th inning when Ryan Howard hit a homer to break the tie and Pedro Feliz followed three batters later with a homer of his own to give the Phils a 2 run cushion. For Howard, it was his...
Bullpen, offense fail sliding Phillies
Brett Myers has been nearly unstoppable since his stint in the minors, posting an ERA below 2 and striking out batters at a high rate. Myers finally looked human today against the Marlins as he gave up 4 runs, but he still pitched well enough to give the Phillies a chance to win. Unfortunately, the offense came up small for the Phils and the bullpen imploded in the late innings as...
Yardwork: Joe Morgan is Hard for David Wright
Phillies 5, Mets 4: The Phillies choked away a 4-0 lead in the sixth and Brad Lidge nearly choked away the win in the 9th, but the Phils avoided the sweep. Chase Utley had two homers (eight for the season) and four RBI . Somewhere, Joe Morgan stands in awe of David Wright.
Reds 4, Brewers [...]
Top 5 2008 All-Star Game Stories
5. In a typical Evil Empire move, the Yankees invite Willie Randolph as a guest to the All-Star Game.
4. The Boss makes an appearance. Love him or hate him, George Steinbrenner is a legendary New York sports figure. It was cool to see him back at Yankee Stadium.
3. Local rivals accidentally stir the pot. Chase Utley drops an F bomb. Jonathan Papelbon kind of, sort of, thought...
The MLB All-Star Team... as it should be
I took a lot of time composing the list, and I did not just look at stats, but I did take that into account. With that said, my all-star list will have major differences than many others. For example, I have Dan Uggla starting ahead of the Phillies' second baseman Chase Utley.
ou see Utley's numbers (.291, 22 HR, 63 RBI as of 6/22/08) and he is on the first place Phillies...
