Pedro Feliz is a nice player, great glove, but I think we need more production from the 3rd base spot. So, I am not picking up the $5 mil. option on him. Enter Placido Polanco. I think he is not as great a ...

The Phillies were great this year, but not the greatest. Can't win them all, you know? Anyways, there is nothing to be ashamed of going to the World Series two years in a row. The past two years in the post ...

He also has a track record of being outsmarted and outcoached by other managers. Against the Rockies and Do ...

Well, here is my research on the truth behind the number ...

I wonder if this means the Phillies will be bringing up Kyle Drabek, or bring in another starter, or just stay with what they have. Here's the story: ...

Lock up Lee this offseason, sign Myers to a cheap 1 year deal and have Lee, Hamels, Myers, Haap, and Blanton as your rotation with Drabek waiting in the wings in the minors. Give Moyer his money and send him of ...

They did, and they beat a very talented bunch... I like your team Philly fans. I ...

I said this a long time ago, even before Pedro came along, he isn't even the 3rd best pitcher on the Phillies. I don't care what he did last year. He has been exposed and people just don't want to admit it. he can;t get ...

The Phils are a great team, it's just that the Yankees were better. Your pitching (Hamels, Pedro, and the bullpen) fa ...

Blanton match up. Just when it seems that all is lost, you know that you're going to get the best effort from this team. I've been thinking alot about thie Yankees-Phillies match up. The Yankees ...

I would love to see the Phils get to Pettite early and chase him from the game so they can continue to pound that Yankee bull pen.
