A Phillies Fan Lament

Here’s an interesting article from a Phillies fan who apparently is not afraid to hide the fact he is tired of chasing the Mets. The following is just a small part of the full article, so I encourage you to read the rest at The 700 Level. I’m tired of this. I’m tired of having to come up with some silver lining for the next two and a half weeks. I’m tired of...

UPDATE: It’s Been Seven Years

As I wake up on a cloudy, Thursday morning, I remember what happened seven years ago. That faithful event that changed America forever. I lost an uncle and I’m sure some of you lost someone or knew who lost someone. I can’t help but think about it and try and work my way around it today.But, that’s not what this blog is about.

One batter later he grooved a pitch to Christian Guzman who launched it...

What’s In A Name?

Okay, fellow Mets fans. I would like an honest opinion on this. Before I mention the name, what do you think of these stats for a pitcher: 177 hits allowed in only 153 innings, an ERA of 6.27 and a record of 10 wins and 10 losses. I would say these stats are less than stellar and do leave something to be desired. Now, if this was some little known player with the name of Fred Smith or something,...
