| | Good news for Philadelphia Phillies fans. | | The Phillies announced that they have signed their star second baseman Chase Utley to a new 7 year contract which will keep him with us through the 2013 season. This makes me very happy since I love how he plays the game and puts his best effort out there all the time and puts up good numbers. He is good on defense as well. Hopefully they will lock up Ryan Howard next.
Any other Phillie fans out there or maybe a Chase Utley fan?http://philadelphia.comcastsportsnet.com/view_content_0p.asp?ID=43752 | |

| Cliff Lee - 2009 Postseason | | How impressive is Cliff Lee's 2009 postseason run to you? He's posted a 0.54 ERA through three postseason games, with a scheduled start tomorrow night (November 2). Batters are hitting just a mere .171 off of him during this run. He's allowed just 20 hits in 33.1 innings pitched. This is one of the best performances in Major League Postseason history. What's your take on it? | |
| | Phillies Win, Phillies Win, Wow! | | I can't tell you how satisfying it is to finally end all the years of futility related to Philadelphia's sports teams.Anyone who have followed the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers or Sixers know that we've come so close but were never able to win the "Big One"Well last night, the Phillies ended over 20 years of heartbreak by winning the 2008 Major League Baseball World Series.As someone who lived and died with the Phillies over 162 regular games and 15 playoff games, I must admit that I wasn't fully confident that they would win it all even when they went up 3-1 against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.Now that the Phillies have won it all, it seems as if a huge burdon has been lifted.Now critics can focus on the best team in baseball instead of the rowdy behavior exibited by Philadelphia fans in the past.Who can ever forget the booing Santa Claus or throwing snowballs during a snow storm?Now Philadelphia will be viewed in a different light. Viewed as the city of the Championship Philadelphia Phillies.Doesn't that have a nice ring to it?Lloyd

Viewed as the city of the Championship Philadelphia Phillies.Doesn't that have a nice ring to it?Lloyd

| | The Phillies to hold the record for the most defeats??? | | I just saw this on CNN ..and thought wow..People are actually happy to celebrate this fact..People saying at least it's some record.I saw one man say that it's not just the phillies but all their sport's teams..He says they are use to losing in Philadelphia. | |

| Who is looking forward to the start of the baseball season? | | Now that my Eagles are done, I am looking forward to baseball season and seeing how my Phillies do this year. They just missed the playoffs last year and have improved their pitching and team this season. Ryan Howard and Chase Utley had great seasons and our pitching looks to be better. Are you ready for baseball? Who is your team? What are your expectations of your team? | |
| | Fan Tased at a Phillies game! | | OK...let me start by saying that I am a former law enforcement officer, although we didn't have tasers when I was an officer. I was just watching CNN, and they reported a story of a fan at a Philadelphia Phillies baseball game being shot with a taser by law enforcement officers after he ran out onto the field. I am usually one to side with law enforcement officers when it comes to these sorts of things, HOWEVER, I am going to say that this particular incident was an unnecessary use of force. Tasers were designed to be used as an alternative to deadly force, and from what I can tell in this situation, no one was ever in any real danger, so I don't feel the use of the taser was justified, because this is clearly not a case in which deadly force would have been necessary, so I don't feel that an alternative to deadly force was necessary. This kid was just trying to have a good time, and I don't feel that he was a threat to anyone. I was not there, and I don't know exactly what happened, but my gut, which is rarely wrong about these sorts of things, is telling me that this is a case where the use of the taser was totally unnecessary. | |
