Phils And Howard A Few Dollars Apart
Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. says he's still hopeful that they can come to an agreement with Ryan Howard and avoid sitting down at the arbitration table. Then you read Jim Salisbury on the slight difference of opinion on how much Howard is worth and you think there's no shot in hell they avoid arb. There were indications last winter that the Phils were willing to
give Howard...

There was a dearth of interesting shows on the television in the hours leading up to the Super Bowl last Sunday, so when I heard "Stay tuned for the Bissell Kitty Halftime Show" as I was flipping channels, I listened. To my disappointment though, as dirty as that name sounds, the show was ...

Phillies In DC Road Trip Interest Levels?
Yo. We're looking into organizing a group package deal to see the Phillies play in DC on 04/13, 04/15, or 04/16. The first game is on a Monday and is the Nats home opener. The third game is on a Thursday. We're guessing the Wednesday night game may be tough for Philly peeps to get down to. Our ...
Don't Listen To That Liar Punxsutawney Phil
For Spring is right around the corner! The first sign of bright Clearwater skies is the fact that the Phillies have packed up their moving truck full of bats, balls, helmets, chewing gum, sunflower seeds, and pretty much anything a baseball player's little heart could desire. It all heads for ...

Aside from loose ends, Phils in excellent shape
The Phillies figure to add last-minute depth to the bench and bullpen, but even if they can’t, they’re set up for a successful title defense. During Philadelphia’s 25-year title drought, one of my greatest fears was that the team that finally snapped the skid would be viewed as a fluke. Thankfully, the 2008 Phillies were the real deal, and they compare favorably...
Wednesday: Is there a need for extra speed?
Extending yesterday’s discussion on depth, we focus on center field and the possible need for added insurance for Shane Victornio. Here’s an area that hasn’t received any attention. It was the same last off-season then – poof – So Taguchi signed for one-year, $1 million to become the fifth outfielder. Taguchi struggled to earn playing time, even losing out to Eric Bruntlett...
Extra rest for tenacious vets easier said than done
They?re hurt. They?re older. They?re determined to play. Charlie Manuel will have a tough time balancing time off with going for broke. Aside from breaking news, one of my goals on Beerleaguer is to publish stories that haven?t been written before, but today I?d like to focus on ?preservation,? even though it was the subject of Tim Malcolm?s blog entry on Phillies Nation yesterday...

Prompted by a New York reporter to offer his thoughts on the Mets' offseason
moves - including the signing of closer Francisco Rodriguez - Rollins

How Long Can the Phils Keep This Up?
The Phils came back from a 5-1 deficit Sunday afternoon to beat the Marlins 7-5 , taking two out of three from the Marlins to take over 1st place by a 1/2 game. During this offensive explosion the Phils have been on, more times then not the Fightins' fall behind early. The real question is how long can they keep this up? Will the offense always be there to bail the starting pitching...
Let's Meet JA Happ
JA Happ will get the start tonight against the Mets. He'll be opposed by Johan Santana and the Mets, so it's safe to say that no one is expecting a complete game shut out from Happ. Which may be a good thing for him, expectations wouldn't be that high no matter who he was facing, but facing Santana helps that much more. However, Happ will have revenge on his mind. His...
