| Congratulations Phillies Fans |
| 2010-12-14 09:36:00 |
We all, as fans, need to be congratulated! The atmosphere we've created in this town is why Cliff Lee is coming back. Players love playing here and our passion has yielded a euphoric environment within that clubhouse. An environment that every player throughout the league envies.You want players on your team that care more about THAT feeling, more than the money. That feeling of standing on the mound and not being able to hear yourself think. Money can't buy that emotion. Not every player can feel that emotion. You covet those few players who can.So often fans want to literally be part of the game. We want our fandom to have a direct impact on the results of our team. We want to think that if we yell louder and clap longer that it will make a tangible difference. We...

| SHOULD MLB DEMAND PLAYERS START WEARING THESE MORE PROTECTIVE HELMET? |
| 2009-08-28 13:02:00 |
Below is a well-done video courtesy of Newsy. In the past week or so there have been a series of players getting hit directly in the head. The newer version of the batting helmet doesn't look all that much different from the existing versions, but a handful of players seem opposed. It wasn't long ago hockey players didn't want to wear helmets at all. The reality is that it is going to take someone to get knocked into a coma or worse before the appropriate steps are taken. Could be next week, could be 5 years from now....

| ICHIRO: A HALL-OF-FAMER? |
| 2009-08-23 12:51:00 |
Your first instinct might be to answer, "Absolutely!", when asked, "Is Ichiro worthy of the Hall-of-Fame?" However, in his 9 seasons, he just shy of 2000 hits with a .333 lifetime batting average, 81 HRs, 505 RBI, and 339 SB. His rookie season he was one of few to win both he ROY and MVP awards and once had 262 hits in one season. Needless to say that had Ichiro came over to play from Japan sooner is his career than he'd be a lock for the Hall. Below is Jon Paul Morosi's article from FoxSports.com which further discusses the topic. It should be mentioned that Morosi's somehow forgot to note that Ichiro has won 9 straight gold gloves. Someone make a case for me that he doesn't belong in Cooperstown.CLEVELAND - We've burned through too many words when it comes to Hall of Fame candidate...

| BRONSON ARROYO: THE KING OF SUPPLEMENTS |
| 2009-08-13 12:13:00 |
Bronson Arroyo is just one of many professional ballplayers who feel the need to pop pills to stay close to or in front of their competition. His father says he was taking supplements since he was 5 years old (did I read that correctly?). Stories like this show us exactly how severely MLB executives screwed up the game of baseball. Don't be fooled that the era is over. Pharmaceutical companies are spending more than ever on research and development of the next great supplement. It's hard to argue with those experienced fans of baseball who have become fed up with everything and have turned their attention elsewhere. I wonder if Bud Selig and company would have done things differently if given the chance. Below is Bob Nightingale's article for today's USA Today. The only thing I adm...

| WASHINGTON NATIONALS: EVALUATING THE FUTURE |
| 2009-08-12 09:31:00 |
If I'm going to post one Washington Nationals related article a year, it might as well be that of one of baseball's best writers in Thomas Boswell. That being said, I think his outlook on the Nationals is far too optimistic. The Nationals are a doomed franchise that plays within the most competitive division in the league. Even if they are able to sign the #1 overall draft pick in Stephen Strasburg, they still have to take care of some serious issues like growing their fan base and not relying only on profit sharing income from around the league. Below is Boswell article in today's Washington Post.Recent Run Is Hard to FigureBy Thomas BoswellWednesday, August 12, 2009You can't construct a big league team properly unless you can evaluate it correctly: See it clearly, don't kid yourself ...

| BRYCE HARPER CRACKING UNDER PRESSURE? |
| 2009-08-11 12:54:00 |
Bryce Harper is becoming the biggest hitting prospect of all-time thanks to the 16-year-old's tape-measuring home run blast of 570 ft. What is it like for the prospect and what kind of pressure does he feel? David Picker of ESPN tells us in his article below. Below is also a E:60 segment on Harper.LAS VEGAS -- Hours after the June 8 issue of "Sports Illustrated" -- the one with Bryce Harper featured on the cover -- hit the newsstands, a producer in Los Angeles picked up a phone and called Harper's father, Ron, in Las Vegas."We want your son, Bryce, to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live!" the producer gushed.Kimmel wanted Bryce Harper and Kobe Bryant to appear on the same night. Bryant, on the verge of winning his fourth title with the Los Angeles Lakers, already had agreed to appear on the show. B...

| AROUND THE LEAGUE: BEST BEER VENDORS |
| 2009-08-10 12:43:00 |
Every stadium has that guy who thinks he'll sell more beer if he can create a unique cold beer "call". They think that they might sell more beer than the standards vendors who simply shout out "Cold Beer", and they might be right. At my ballpark (Citizen's Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia), it's the beer vendor who carries a fake parrot on his shoulder and call out "Cold Beer" as if he is Toucan Sam himself (see below). Below are a collection of some videos displaying some of the league most unique beer vendors.....

| JOSH HAMILTON HAS LAPSE IN SOBRIETY |
| 2009-08-10 07:15:00 |
Most of us can't understand the enormous amount of pressure Josh Hamilton feels everyday as he is the poster boy for born-again recovering drug addicts. Somehow I hope he finds the strength to become stronger from his lapse in sobriety that took place this past January. Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton acknowledged a January bar incident Saturday in which he became drunk and was photographed with several women, not including his wife, in lurid poses in Tempe, Ariz.Josh Hamilton and David Ortiz each had opportunities to clear their conscience Saturday, but only one -- Hamilton -- sounded like a human being, writes Howard Bryant."I'm embarrassed about it. For the Rangers, I'm embarrassed about it. For my wife, my kids," Hamilton said in Anaheim, Calif., before the Rangers played the ...
