NL EAST CHAMPS!  Thursday, September 4
Mike Schmidt on Philly Fans Good piece in today's Daily News that quotes Schmidty on his (past and present) feelings toward Philly fans. Here's an excerpt: "Philly fans are very passionate about their time at the ballpark," [Schmidt] wrote. "They want to be in a dominant winning environment. Their sports teams and those team's players are a large part of their daily existence. Kids watch and listen as their fathers live and die with their teams. Thursday, August 28
Good article in today's New York Times about Shane Victorino.  Little snippet: "Last season, the Phillies released a Victorino bobblehead doll with a twist. It actually had bobble hips instead, and Victorino, a native of Wailuku, Hawaii, was wearing a hula skirt and playing a ukulele. When fans stuck it to their car dashboards, it would dance. In this season’s version, Victorino's figurine was stretched out horizontally to make a diving catch. He was wearing a cape and a lei." Sunday, July 27

Mitch Williams hosts his own radio show?  Living in NYC, I had no idea Mitchy-poo was all over Philly sports radio and TV these days. I'm glad though; I've always been a fan -- even after he crushed all my teenage hopes and dreams in '93.Here's a great article about Wild Thing in today's New York Times: Williams, Former Goat for Phillies, Is Now Fan Favorite Sunday, May 18

President Bush wants Chase Utley!  George W. was asked who he would pick as his first position player, if he owned an MLB team. His answer?"I like Utley from the Philadelphia Phillies ... he's a middle infielder, which is always, you know, they say strength up the middle. There's nothing better than having a good person up the middle that can hit." Check out the full story on Yahoo Sports.

Phils may negotiate with Pat Burrell mid-season Negotiation would break current club policy. Yahoo: Phils could negotiate with Burrell, Lidge Saturday, May 10
He's back!  Jimmy Rollins contributes three hits, three RBIs in first game back from DL Sunday, May 4
Pat's bat still hot in final year of $50 million contract. Coincidence? I'm not one to believe that Burrell hasn't been trying over the years. Nah, he's just tended to suck for periods of time (at least when you compare him to what we know he's capable of). But, this MLB article isn't the first time it's been suggested that his performance is being driven by the need for another lucrative contract (then again, why wouldn't it be?), and it won't be the last either.  |

Basketball has the "gym rat," a kid who lives in the gym with his basketball. Every free moment he's working his game—hundreds of jump shots, free throws, drills, in most cases in quiet solitude, as he enjoys being by himself.
