Phils have fallen on hard times since sweeping the Braves, 3-7 in the 10 games since the trip to Atlanta. It seems that almost the entire lineup and pitching staff are in a bit of a drought. They lost 2 out of 3 to the Marlins, Cardinals, and Red Sox over the last 3 series and didn't exactly start the Angels series off with a bang (lost 7-1 last night). Click on the URL to read an update on Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Geoff Jenkins, and the rest of the misfits.

Ryan Howard for MVP
I can't believe that some people are dismissing Ryan Howard for the 2008 Most Valuable Player Award. I can't think of anyone more deserving.
Albert Pujols is an incredible hitter, no doubt about it. But the Cardinals are a .500 team and will not make the playoffs. Manny Ramirez and CC Sabathia have had very productive half-seasons with the Dodgers and Brewers, respectively...
Ryan Howard poses with Wizards dancers.
The Big Lead got a hold of this picture of an all-smiles Ryan Howard entertaining some Washington Wizards dancers. That pesky arbitration case is clearly getting to him.
After perusing the Washington dancers roster, it looks like their names are Cece (left) & Lindsay (right). Lindsay looks m...
Let's Celebrate
What a weekend it was for Philadelphia sports fans. Let's start with the Phillies. They are on the verge of winning the World Series. I was at the game last night and had a chance to speak with Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins. They are so close and very ready to make it happen for all of us in Philly. One more win - tonight in Philadelphia would be nice - and the 25 year drought...

Brett Myers on Ryan Howard: "I'll smack him around a little bit."
Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was asked whether Ryan Howard's new contract will impact his play on the field. He said, "It better not. I'll smack him around a little bit." Comcast editors cut the quote from subsequent broadcasts, but Bugs & Cranks has both videos on its site.

Thome's Out, Rowand's In
Pat Gillick, GM of the Philadelphia Phillies, has established that Jim Thome will be sent to the White Sox in exchange for Aaron Rowand. Thome will be back in his home state playing for a championship team. Ryan Howard will now have the first base position full-time. Aaron Rowand is supposed to be a ...
Analyzing the Phillies' Latest Trade Dream
Would the trade be worthwhile? Holliday would simply be a one-year rental unless new GM Ruben Amaro plans on locking him up long-term, but he has to deal with the ballooning salaries of a number of arbitration-eligible players including Ryan Howard and Cole Hamels. In other words, Holliday would be a Phillie for one year and one year only.

Like Mary J. Blige belted- No More Drama, because there won't be much drama in the Phils camp this spring as most position battles are already determined, unless you think Andy Tracy has a chance of dethroning Ryan Howard of course. The outfield is set, the infiend is set, 4/5 of the rotation ...

Bullpen, offense fail sliding Phillies

September 10, 2008
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...

Fortunately, Myers settled down, striking out 11 batters and shutting the Fish out in innings 2 through 8 to...
