Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Philadelphia — The Philadelphia Phillies broke 28 years of baseball futility and 99 seasons for the four major sports teams in Philadelphia by winning the World Series last night 4-3 over the determined Tampa Bay Rays in a game that lasted a little over 49 hours thanks to the brilliant Bud Selig.
In a series that […]

Bud’s Blunder

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Dear Bud:
If Game 5 was going to be completed regardless of the current status of the game, why didn’t you announce that before the game? Tell the Philly fans. Tell Tim McCarver. At the very least, tell Fantasy Baseball Dugout!
The fact is that a baseball game should be played to completion. […]

Joe The Pitcher

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Most of you know that BallparkBob is a huge Phillies’ fan and, although he tries to be impartial when it comes to writing about fantasy baseball, today, he just can’t help himself.
BallparkBob made national news last night at Citizen’s Bank Park with a sign that was extremely creative–even by Ballpark’s standards.

B.J. Upton continued his postseason domination in Game 2, going 2-4 at the plate with one run scored and an RBI. The Rays centerfielder scored on […]

Not only did Bartlett earn a free taco for 300 million plus Americans, but he also earned himself a PR job with Taco Bell. Bartlett, Tampa’s MVP this […]

World Series Game 1 Fantasy Baseball Recap

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Perhaps I will just stick to fantasy baseball instead of making baseball game predictions that turn out incorrect. The Phillies won Game 1, 3-2… and I have egg all over my face.
From a fantasy baseball perspective, Chase Utley was last night’s star. Our no. 1 ranked second baseman for 2009, went 2-4 with a homerun, […]

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Dear Phillies fans,
Sorry I said you were going to lose tonight in the World Series. To make it up to you, I figured I’d post this hott pic of your ballgirl team.
I don’t think they’re allowed to be married to any Phillies player, but they sure would make a hott wife for any of the […]
