Shock and Awe

Just like that he was gone and I don’t like it. I’m fully aware the Phillies grabbed the most dominant right handed pitcher of the decade in the majors but something just doesn’t seem right. It wasn’t supposed to end like this.
The Phillies acquired Cliff Lee on July 29th and quickly it came to pass [...]

Two Minute Warning – Everybody Hurts Sometime

Bare with me through our latest voyage. Thanks to the Phils’ World Series loss, I’m in a bit of an ornery mood these days. My email box and Facebook account has been swamped with arrogant and cocksure emails from Yankee fans celebrating title 27. Most of which I can’t even put in print.
On Thursday, I [...]

Video of the Day: ‘89 Savage

The Phillies season is over. Naturally, I’m in mourning as the Yankees laid their repeat chances to rest last night in a 7-3 victory in Game 6 of the World Series. It was a great 371 days to be on top of the mountain. Much like Randy Savage in 1989, we just ran into a [...]

Thank You Sir, May I Have Another

Chase Utley extended the life of the Phils in Game 5 of the World Series with a pair of homers to help support Cliff Lee’s pitching effort. The scorn of some earlier in the playoffs due to a lack of hitting and fielding mistakes, Utley is putting one of the best World Series shows of [...]

The Hurting Continues…Until Cliff Lee Saves The Day

We’re about two hours away from Game 5 of the World Series and the pain from last night’s loss still hasn’t subsided. This pic courtesy of the700level.com sums it up perfectly.

One Hit To The Body

Words cannot express my disappointment over Game 4 of the World Series. Brad Lidge…ugh. That hurt.
 
 
 
 
 

Lee-Thal Weapon I

Granted, it’s only one game but still…what a game it was. Cliff Lee dominated the Yankees in a 6-1 win. The most impressive part of his performance was the considerable ease in which he did it with. As illustrated in this picture from the700level.com, it was simply child’s play for the 2008 Cy Young winner. [...]

The Ultimate Challenge

Mission Possible begins for the Phillies tonight in the Bronx when they try to take down the mighty New York Yankees in the World Series. While either fanbase will be massively disappointed with defeat, the true losers are Cleveland Indians fans. The Indians managed to trade away two Cy Young winners in the last year [...]

Kate Hudson Saves All

Bill Simmons made an interesting point on his Twitter last night. Sports fans operate in a universe these days where the two most clutch players are Alex Rodriguez and Peyton Manning. Does anyone find that bizarre? Seriously, these guys embodied postseason futility.
Manning, a notorious postseason slacker, won Super Bowl XLI and beat Tom Brady and [...]

Video of the Day: Ode to Mike and the Mad Dog

As A-Rod’s name is dragged through the mud over the next few days, months, and probably years, I needed to hear the take of Mike and the Mad Dog on his admittance to using PED’s from 2001 to ‘03. Only one problem though…Mike and the Mad Dog no longer rule the roost together in the [...]
