The Philadelphia Phillies were to leave City Hall in downtown Philadelphia and travel the length of Broad Street to celebrate its first World Series victory in 28 years at Citizen’s Bank Park on Friday.
Unfortunately, Broad Street was not wide enough to accommodate the throng of fans that showed […]

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 […]

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. […]

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.
“Joe the Pitcher” was the […]

You’ll notice that since I stopped making game predictions, the home team hasn’t lost a game in the World Series. Unfortunately for all those new, bandwagon jumping Tampa Bay Rays fans, it also means their team on the brink of elimination.
Ryan Howard made up for a largely dismal postseason in Games 3 and 4. […]

I’m officially done predicting winners for games in the World Series. After quickly predicting the Phillies would win Game 2 at the bottom of my post yesterday… they lost, 4-2.
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 […]

When Jason Bartlett stole second in the fifth inning of game one of the World Series last night, he earned a free taco for everybody in America.
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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
