Philadelphia Phillies Report by Ari Bluestein

What a weekend for the Philadelphia Phillies!
Following a disastrous series loss to their division rival, the Florida Marlins, the Phillies rebound in a big way.  With the Milwaukee Brewers coming into town for a four-game series and the Phillies four games behind them in the National League Wildcard race, it seemed like it would be [...]

Philadelphia Phillies Report – 9/8/08

This past week, the Phillies finished out their second-to-last road trip of the year.  They started the trip with a split against the National League-best Chicago Cubs, which followed a solid 7-2 home stand.
One would think that going to Washington to take on the lowly Nationals would be a blessing for a team in a [...]

Philadelphia Phillies Report – 9/2/08

Of course we all know the song, “Your love is like a roller coaster baby!”  Well, I would like to leave a message for Phillies manager Charlie Manuel saying, “Your TEAM is like a roller coaster baby!”

 
Even though the ‘Nats’ are hot, the Phillies need to find a way to beat them two games in [...]

ARE BATHROOMS THE NEW CONFERENCE ROOMS?

Remember Sen. Larry Craig? You know the guy who made an airport bathroom into a tourist site after his arrest? Well, we were told at the time that nothing good goes on in restrooms if you stay past your time, so to speak, that you need to be there; [...]

Are they real games or exhibitions?
When I dared to call the MLB All Star game an exhibition after Bud Selig ended the thing in a tie because it was past everyone’s bed time I was yelled at and told I didn’t know what I was talking about. Well, now I’m gonna say the same thing [...]

The Thrill on the Hill

Can you imagine what Roger Clemens had to get Debbie, his wife as a gift for Valentine’s Day? A day after he told the world that she used HGH, but he didn’t (allegedly), what is an appropriate way to say I love you? Oh I don’t know….a vacation from HIM, might be nice. I need [...]

Creepy Medical Waste and the Men Who Discuss It

It’s one thing for a woman who is a mistress to a married man to keep a dress with DNA on it in the form of semen and it’s quite another for a male trainer of a famous male athlete to keep gauze pads and syringes with trace evidence of blood on it. Why? Well [...]

Roger Clemens took Lidocaine and B-12 shots, not HGH. Yeah, right.

Haven’t we already made up our minds about whether or not Roger Clemens became a multiple Cy Young award winner after the age of 35 with a little help from his friends? Fair or not, there isn’t one person I know who doesn’t already think he or she has the answer. Well, apparently there is [...]

Who’s Zooming Who?

So all you folks who thought Barry Bonds was being targeted and asked over and over why other players weren’t being called out about using steroids I have one question: are you happy now?
Roger Clemens is this year’s Barry Bonds…..except without the lying under oath, yet. He hasn’t been asked about where he got his [...]

Sean Taylor 1983-2007 

It’s gruesome to even think about waking up and knowing you are trapped in your bedroom and listening to the noises of a criminal in your home. Sean Taylor met his demise outside his own bedroom as his girlfriend and little child cowered [...]
