The parade has ended, and the flag has been flown. Like Chase Utley so eloquently put, the Phillies are "World ****ing Champions". Although some Philadelphians are still celebrating the Phillies World Series win, the 2008 baseball season is officially over.

After taking games one and two from the Pirates the past two days, the Phils are on the cusp on their first 3-game sweep on the season. Brett "The Hitman" Myers opposes lefty Paul Maholm. A sweep would be sweet because it would likely place them atop the NL East with a 15...

When pitcher J.A. Happ was pulled from his Triple-A start last Sunday, I assumed he had been traded. Happ, a starter, really had really had no position with the Phillies. With the addition of Joe Blanton and the return of Brett Myers, the rotation seemed to be set for the remainder...

Same story, different day for the Phillies this exhibition season. The Phillies lost today 8-5 to the Pirates, but the offense put on a show, with Pat Burrell, Ryan Howard and Pedro Feliz all hitting solo home runs. Unfortunately it was all a waste as the pitching continues to struggle...

Despite a sputtering offense, the Phillies remained in first place this week, two games up on New York Mets. The Phils' offense continues to look lost, and at one point this week went 23 innings without scoring a run, despite facing less than stellar opposing pitching.

Yesterday I read a shocking notion for trading "troublesome and over-rated outfielder Shane Victorino for pitching". First off, that would leave us with an outfield of Burrell (should be a DH), Taguchi (singles hitter), Werth (question mark), Jenkins (platoon...
