It's All Gravy!

Bryce Does It Again

When the Phillies got into the playoffs, I have to admit I was lukewarm when it came to expectations. I've always been of the thinking that a team limping into the playoffs was kind of a waste. I'd rather just get the pain over early and move on to the next sport. In this case, let the Phillies be done with, and let's move on to the Eagles.  W...

Can You Believe It!!!

Phillies Win National League Championship

Today, I'm still somewhat in disbelief that the Phillies are going to the World Series. Will somebody pinch me? I'm way out in Oregon, out in the woods, with a temperamental satellite feed attempting to watch the series in between buffering of the feed.    In part, I'm anxious about the Phils and in part worried about the feed. ...

Hi Philly! Getting Any Sleep?

Phillies Rally in Ninth

What a weekend! Starting Friday afternoon, early evening, I'm feeling like a dark cloud is descending on Philadelphia fans. Here we head into the top of the ninth with absolutely no offense. This supposed power lineup had shown no life up until this point. As I'm watching, I'm thinking to myself, "well, will this series even get to game 3." An...

Is It A Waste Of Time To Get Excited?

MAGICNUMBER

So if I go back to the beginning of the baseball season, I began to have visions of the Phillies' playoffs run starting in 2007. Though 2007 had its embarrassing moment when on July 15 they lost their 10,000 games. However, they rallied at the end of the season in the closing days of the season to win the NL East title. Only to be swept i...

Someone Get Me Some Oxygen

As September moves along and the Phillies continue to fight to end their long drought of missing the playoffs, I don't know how many late-inning games I can handle.  Big reason? The bullpen! You know, I wish I could go through the ninth inning where the opposing team goes down 1-2-3. Instead, we are faced with my latest bullpen member fac...

What Do You Have To Say Now?

ovation_bohm

After the other night's game against the Mets, when Bohm was seen saying, " I f-ing hate this place", the national press couldn't wait to jump on the Philly fans about how they would react to Bohm's comment.  Right away that went back to their same old script...Eagles fans throw snowballs at Santa. When in doubt bring out the old cliches....

That Old Philly Feeling

phillyteams

First, let me say when the Phillies made the deals to get Schwarber and Castellanos this year I was drooling over the idea of what this lineup would look like. In my mind, I flashed back to '08 and '09 and what a fearsome lineup they had.  In the past few years, I thought of getting the MLB Extra Innings package but was hesitant...

Where It All Began

As a kid, who grew up in South Jersey, I started my early life becoming a big sports fan. I was in first grade when I first started to get interested in sports. My first love was baseball. A group of friends (Dicky, Joey, Georgie, and myself) became baseball cards and coins fanatics. Part of our time would be spent cashing in soda bottles and whate...
