PrintThe Clearwater Threshers have cancelled the Phillies World Series Bobblehead promotion for the remainder of the 2009 season. The Threshers are in violation of the Major League Baseball Agency Agreement which, in this instance, prohibits the promotion of the Phillies brand within the home television territory of the Tampa Bay Rays.
SORE LOSERS. MAN!
A Lesson Via Boston and Philly
The little brother cities have fingercuffed New York.
Mets, Yankees owned by division rivals
Nothing further.
MLB Network's first original series sounds promising
The MLB Network debuts its first original series Sunday, a reality program called "The Pen," which follows members of the Philadelphia Phillies in their bullpen.

The series features Phillies relievers Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, J.C. Romero, Scott Eyre, Clay Condrey, Chad Durbin, Gary Majewski, Jack Taschner, J.A. Happ and Chan Ho Park and bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer.
Phils-Red Sox series will run on electricity
I know he had some really lousy teams to manage, but wow, remember when Terry Francona was just a giant boob?
Phillies pass this road-trip test, but there is more to come
I want to pound the Red Sox so badly this weekend...

Phillies reach agreement with second-round pick Kelly Dugan
Apparently toasted on the set of his dad's new film by well known Mets fans Kevin James, Chris Rock, and Adam Sandler. I feel so, so dirty about this.
Southeast Alaska athlete drafted by Philadelphia Phillies
Jim (Way) hails from northern New Jersey and as such has an innate disdain for all things Philadelphia. A big New York Rangers fan, Jim grew up hating the Philadelphia Flyers. But his perspective suddenly changed this morning, when the news came in that his son Matt had been drafted by the Phillies.
Excellent... one at a time, people.

“- I know Raul Ibanez has been the center of attention because some blog insinuated that he might be "juicing". Want to know the best juice for someone’s career? Finally playing for a good team. I spoke with Scott Pose back in February. Scott had his best season playing for the 1997 Yankees. He wasn’t anywhere near the player that Ibanez is, but he talked about the "good pressure" that comes with walking into a winning clubhouse. This "intangible" could elevate your game to heights never seen. In the case of Pose he went from mediocre to a solid contributor. For Ibanez, you see a very good player turn into an elite hitter. Without Ibanez the Phillies are probably behind even a depleted Mets team.”
Didn’t Raul play for the 2007 Mariners?
For Who? My teammates.
For What? To Win.
How Much? Where do I sign?
Don't let facts get in the way of a good story
A basic lesson in punditry that you obviously haven’t learned. It’s not as if Raul hasn’t played for these very successful teams:
Seattle 2007: 88-74
Seattle 2000: 91-71
Seattle 1997: 90-72
It’s just better to ignore those facts to tell a good story!

Great links
as normal Whole Camels. Loved the link with the Alaska pitcher. Amazing what a draft will do for a father.
