With Ryan Howard's contract on the books, the Phillies are pretty much done with their 2009 roster, unless Nomar does decide to play in 2009. It is clear that the Phillies have a 3-year plan, as they have it set up so that all of their key players are locked in until at least 2011. Here is a ...

February 10, 2009
I stumbled upon MLB.com's Fantasy Preview the other day, so I decided to see what they had to say about the Phillies. What I found was a mix of misinformation, baseless speculation, and idiocy. Basically, a bloggers dream! So, I decided I would reprint their "one liners" about each player and ...

What many thought would never happen has, actually, happened. The Phillies and star first baseman Ryan Howard have agreed on a 3-year deal worth $54 million. The deal isn't the long term contract many had hoped that Howard would sign for, but it does ensure that the two sides will avoid contencious arbitration hearings for the next three off-seasons.
While the exact breakdown...

Beer nuts: Beerleaguer seeks celebrity endorsement
So the Buzz Bissinger blurb in the banner is no longer applicable, so I’m looking for a fresh quote from a famous phan. Actor and Germantown Academy graduate Bradley Cooper hosted 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend and was photographed wearing a Phillies hat. He seems like a cool guy. There’s no reason he shouldn’t be reading Beerleaguer and enjoying it. Speaking of...
Ryan Howard's big deal
With or without the new contract he signed yesterday, Ryan Howard was going
to be with the Phillies through 2011. Look at it that way and his big deal - $54
million over three years - doesn't seem like such a big deal, at least to
Phillies fans.
This contract means a lot more, to Howard and to the team and to the fans,
than the numbers after the dollar signs. There is...

What I really worry about…
So this A-Rod story has been hashed out over and over by nearly everyone, including many of my esteemed brethren at this website. The story came out. A-Rod came “cleanâ€. Now begins the process of condemnation/forgiveness, depending on whatever camp you’re in. Opposing fans are going to vilify him as they would have regardless, and [...]

The code says Teixeira must support A-Rod, and that Roy Oswalt must sound like a moronic hypocrite
Mark Teixeira is new to the Yankees, but he’s following the well-worn path of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez and voicing support for the latest outed Yankee…Alex Rodriguez.
Jeter came out in support of Jason Giambi after Giambi had to cop to steroid use a few years ago, and A-Rod said during his interview with Peter [...]
What's right with baseball right now: The Phillies front office
Thanks to an inspired offseason performance from Ruben Amaro, Jr. and the front office, the post-World Series high has not been diminished. A succession of smart signings and calculated risks has created a three-year window in which the Phils should have a legitimate shot to go deep into October.
