Apparently his great defense isn't enough to overcome his poor offensive postseason and the Phillies seem to be moving on. I would assume they'll bring in one of the available free agents Chone Figgins, Adrian

#1 You have to decide who you want to keep. 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 fielder b

Well, the end of season is officially here. 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 postseason, the Phillies are 20-7. That's an incredible run, and w

I came in here begrudgingly since I am still a tad upset from last night's events. But hey, time to face the music, right?
Well, I've got to say I am shocked. The season isn't even 12 hours from being over and everyone is already moving on to next season. I haven't even been through half the day's threads and already four have devolved into discussions of "what will the

Phils need more players to come up clutch in the World Series and they didnt get it.
Jimmy and Shane had horrible OBS.. maybe Shane shouldnt have played hurt....
Where was the bench the whole series?
nowhere to be found...
Howard had one good outing.. barely...
Otherwise...
It was the Utley/JW/Raul and Chooch show... that won

Well, well, well. Sorry I haven't been posting on the forum as much as last year, graduating into the real world has consumed much of my time. For anyone out there who has lived/spent significant time in Washington, DC, do you know of any Phillies bars in the district? I have way too many friends down here who are

Charlie Manuel is a great man, a wonderful caring person who has a gift to get people to overperform for him and come up when it matters most. He also has a track record of being outsmarted and outcoached by other managers. Against the Rockies and Dodgers, the bats were so hot there w

I've seen a lot of misinformation being spread out there about how the Phillies payroll is somehow comparable to the Yankees, implying that we're just as guilty of trying to buy a championship. Well, here is my research on the truth behind the numbers World Series Roster v

I know it's a tough day for Phillies fans. Trust me, I know the feeling. I still harbor hurt from the 2000 Subway Series. It never goes away. However, it lessens with the passage of time and new hurts(2007, 2008 and 2009!).
However, you have to take pride and cherish your star 2B man who is the best in the sport and IMHO a top 5

He met with Ruban Amaro Jr and was told they won't try to resign him. 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:

Well, if Hamels gets his crap together. 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 off into retirement. Gonna need to upgrade the bench. Exactly how many hits did Stairs have since the all star break? Tayl

Manuel's decision to go with Pedro in game two instead of Hamels, and Blanton in game three instead of Lee on short rest will be our undoing in the World Series.
After winning game one, it would have been nice to get game two, but we already accomplished the split. We should have put Hamels out in game two and saved Pedro for a pivotal game three. Pedro was pitching much better th

The old saying goes like this, to be the best you've got to beat the best and this was the big task for the Yankees, they had to dethrone the Champions by beating them. They did, and they beat a very talented bunch... I like your team Philly fans. I like Utley, Werth and even the guy with the foot in his mouth.
