Now Appearing on Baseball Tonight: Other Teams
One of the many things I love about the Web is it lets me get all the Mets news I can stand. Newspapers’ Web outposts, newspapers’ blogs, national Web sites, MLB, former beat writers’ sites, independent blogs of all stripes and persuasions, minor-league blogs … you name it. There is more Mets news than I can take in on a given day.
You already know this — after all, you’re...

Remembering The 1999 Trade Deadline
With Y2K and the imminent demise of the world just months away, it was incumbent upon teams to add just the right player for the stretch run. After all, when future civilizations came across the remains of our shattered lives, 1999 would loom as the final season for baseball, the single most important accomplishment in American society.
Or so it seemed at the...

F'ugly
Damn, that was one helluva f'ugly game. How f'ugly was it?
*The Mets scored 8 runs on only 5 hits.
*One error, two error, three error, four! Allow me to put that into perspective- 7 teams haven't committed that many errors all season, and the Phils stellar defense has now made 4 blunders in a game twice in this young season. Currently pacing the Majors with...

Looking at who will make the final spots of the Milwaukee Brewers 25-man roster, someone has to play Center Field while Mike Cameron is suspended. There are a variety of options including Gabe Gross, Tony Gwynn Jr., Joe Dillon, and Gabe Kapler.

Movie Monday
I'd like to start today's post with a big shout out to my fallen homeboys George and Abraham. No, not George Bell and Abraham Nunez, rather Presidents Washington and Lincoln. Without their fearless leadership of this country back in the day, I wouldn't have this fine Monday off of work...thanks dudes!
What to do on an off day? Movie Monday!!! To get into the spirit of...

Phillies 2008 Promotions- Part 1
The Phillies recently released their scheduled promotions and give-a-ways for the 2008 season. The typical Dollar Dog Day, fireworks, magnet scheduleds, etc. are on the calendar, but the Phils spiced it up a little this year with some marketing marvels that should be very popular. Here are a few of WSBGMs favorites.

Mets counter Phils' Pedro Feliz signing with some dude named Johan
Pedro Feliz is mighty, and had the Mets shaking in their boots once it was announced that the Phils signed him. The Mets counteracted with some dude named Johan....never heard of him!
My initial reaction to the Pedro Feliz deal was not positive. I saw a 32 year old, field first, strikeout second third baseman who was little more than a powerful No-Hit Nunez and thought...

Phillies Philler
Show Me the $$$:
What to do with Ryan Howard? I briefly touched on this touchy subject a few days ago, and I feel it's time to revisit it. I like Ryan Howard and want him to remain a Phillie for at least 4 more seasons. I also would like a happy Ryan Howard, which means upping the money proposal may be a good idea, and ideally laying down a decent chunk of change for the next...

What's Happening in the Phillies World?
I'll start off with our plump green fuzzy homeboy the Philly Phanatic being named sports' best mascot ever. Growing up a Phillies fan I always loved the Phanatic's playful shenanigans and to this day still appreciate the humor he brings to the ball field. Glad to see he got top honors in Sports Illustrated's poll and on Forbe's list, because if Mr. Met would have won I'd have severed...

Phillies Wars- Episode V
Back with another installment of the Phillies/Star Wars parody...enjoy.
Abe Nunez as Stormtrooper - Is anything more pitiful than an Imperial Stormtrooper. A bunch of clones in white plastic outfits whose general purpose seems to be getting killed. And not just by Jedi or Rebel fighters...freaking Ewoks kicked their ass. And they might actually be the only group of people...

Howard's Multi-Homer Game Powers Phillies Rout of Florida
The Phillies got 3 homers, 2 by 1st baseman Ryan Howard (31st and 32nd HRs), pounded losing Marlins' starter Rick VandenHurk for 6 runs in 2 1/3 innings, capitalized a Florida error and 7 walks issued by Florida pitchers and saw veteran lefthander Jamie Moyer and young J.D. Durbin combine to hold Florida to 1 run on 8 hits as they rolled to an 11-1 victory. Moyer won his 10th game...

David Bell Traded to the Brewers
In return, the Phillies receive Wilfredo Laureano, a Class A RP with a 3.96 ERA. Although they don't get much, Pat Gillick acknowledged that the Phillies had no intention of resigning David Bell at the end of the season. He was in the final season of a 4-year, $17 Million dollar deal. Abraham Nunez and his .157 average will take over at third
It's a nice move for the...

Recap on the Phillies Disasterous 2006 Season
The Beer Leaguer takes some parting shots at the current Phills squad before Pat Gillick and the front office do some major house cleaning over the course of the next few days. Philadelphia is 44-53 and probably lucky to have a record as good as that. Poor Coaching, terrible defense, and failed experiements have led to the downfall of the Phillies in '06 and unless some major changes...

Abraham Nunez sinking deep into abyss of historic lows
When your team stinks, the only thing left to do is to root for the worst player like he's your best.
