Today in Philly Sports History: Phils Immolate Pads for Second Straight Contest, 1999

The Phillies were still 11 1/2 games back of the eventual NL champion Atlanta Braves on August 25th, 1999, but things were looking up. The Phils were 67-59, led by new franchise cornerstones Scott Rolen and Bobby Abreu, and a career year from Mike Lieberthal, and they were looking like they were well on their way to their first winning season since 1993. Best of all, they had just...

Today in Philly Sports History: Phils Draft Mike Lieberthal, 1990

When it came down to making a selection with their first-round pick (#3 overall) on June 4th, 1990, the Phillies had narrowed the possibilities down to two primary candidates--University of Iowa shortstop Tim Costo and So-Cal high school shortstop-turned-catcher Mike Lieberthal.

You Can Do It, Put Your Back Into It: Utley Breaks Team Record for Hit By Pitches

Stuff 4 Sunday

I. Wish Granted: Just yesterday I posted, "I hold out hope that Hamels can be secured with a longterm deal". Hope no more, because contrary to what the Rolling Stones sang, I can always get what I want. Cole agreed to a 3 year $20.5M deal, buying out his first 3 years of arbitration, leaving ...

Beer nuts: Maybe it's time to reshuffle the catchers

With fresh faces on the way for their series in New York, could a catching move also be in the cards for the Phillies? Aside from injuries, teams usually stay the course behind the plate. Heck, if Sal Fasano, Mike Lieberthal and Rod Barajas hadn't been hurt at various points the last few seasons, Chris Coste would have never been given a shot. Looks can be deceiving, but just...

Mike Lieberthal Retires

After spending the first 13 seasons of his career in Philly Lieberthal moved on to Los Angeles to become their backup backstop last season. Russell Martin went on to become an All-Star and Silver Slugger winner in the NL for catcher, so needless to say Mike's playing time was limited- 38 games and 77 at bats. Then October rolled around and the Dodgers neglected to pick up Lieby...
