TPI took last weekend off and you have my sincerest apologies. On a rather humorous note, the Red Sox have tried to trade the Lance Armstrong of the Baseball World (Mike Lowell) to the Texas Rangers and would look to replace him with….drumroll….Adrian Beltre. I am not a general manager, though I do manage several [...]

Why wouldn’t every single player on the Phillies be all smiles right now? The Phillies can’t seem to lose, and last night they won yet another game, by the score of 4-3. The Phillies also seem to be able to spread out the nightly heroes, last night could be considerd Shane Victorino. Victorino went 3-5 [...]

The Phillies started this homestand on July 3rd with a terrible record at home, especially for a 1st place team in July of a season. They changed that with a 9-1 homestand which was capped by a series sweep of the Pirates this weekend. Pedro Feliz hit his 6th home run of the season and [...]

6-20-09:In the 7th inning on Saturday night, Ryan Howard hit a pinch hit three run home run off Oriole reliever Danys Baez after being hospitalized with flu symptoms. It looked like Philly may have finally found the magic they had in 2008, but this was before the 9th inning. Still filling in as the closer [...]

And it didn’t get any better from there. The Phillies were taking on the Baltimore Orioles Friday night in Philadelphia. Philly pitching has not stepped up for the defending World Series champs. Over the last 7 games, Philly pitching went 1-6 [...]
