The Phillies pitching staff is in shambles. We're all crossing our legs, toes, arms, fingers, and whatever other appendages that can be crossed in hopes that Brad Lidge returns healthy sometime soon. Interim closer Tom Gordon isn't exactly instilling faith in this fan's...

1980's holdover, Greg Maddox, announced his retirement earlier this week, and it got me thinking about players that are still active that made their debut back in the 80's. With a bit of research done while wearing an ensemble of a pastel colored Ocean Pacific shirt with bodacious...

Looks like I can finally chillax (chill and relax combo), because the Phils notched a 1 in the W column yesterday for the 1st time this season. I say that like it's been a long time, but the reality of it is it's only been 3 games. Those were 3grueling games though, as the...

Trade Vic?
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...
