Phillies Breakfast Links, September 16, 2009: Be Like Lee, One More for Lakewood, Souvenir Rejected

Phillies open 2010 season on road against Nationals
Close season on the road against Atlanta. And we once again renew our classic historic rivalries with the cities of Boston and Toronto...

Phillies minor leaguers Drabek, Taylor receive awards
At least they're not in Toronto.

Minor Leagues: Lakewood moves within 1 of title
Let's get two Championships in the organization this year, how about it?

For R-Phillies, 2009 was a very good year
Recap from Roadcap: The Reading Phillies first playoff season since 2001 was a great success.

Blanton looks to bounce back vs. Nats
Last week's start was pretty much his worst of the season.

Hanson, LaRoche help Braves blank Mets
Tommy Hanson is pretty much taking the Rookie of the Year trophy from under Happ's nose.

Rich Hofmann: Laying to rest some of your worries about the Fightin' Phils
The raw production has been fine, it's been the situation hitting -- not really a repeatable "skill" -- that's been problematic.

Happ may get start vs. Braves
I hope they're giving him all the time to recover and not just pushing him back. They need a healthy J.A. Happ for the postseason, with Scott Eyre and J.C. Romero questionable.

Howard biggest 'Piece' in Phils' puzzle
Despite his "faults," glad he's a Phillie, and you should be, too.

LEE: ‘WE HAVE A 1-2-3-4-5 PUNCH’ - Philled In
Depth is great, and short playoff series are basically crapshoots.

Lee deal looking worse and worse - Cleveland.com

Probably cuter than a basket full of puppies carried by a polar bear cub.

video

The cringeworthy aspect to that video is watching it and wondering how you’d react with the cameras on you (and not necessarily knowing it).

That guy gets my vote for father of the year. He smiles and gives his little girl a big hug. I would have probably screamed “noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”

Question

Are YouTube commentors the dumbest people on earth or does that distinction belong to those who comment on ESPN.com?

This video was on MLB Tonight, SportsCenter, and CSN last night. Pretty cute.

So many ways to go towards this – i’m going to go with those who read the new york post.

I think the YouTubers are the dumbest, but for broad and awful hatred, just read the comments on any NJ.com or Philly.com post having to do with inner-city crime.

Read the comments on Philly.com having to do with anything and you are likely to vomit. I am always sure to read Philly.com on an empty stomach.

Note to self

When daughter is old enough to go to baseball game, do not give her any potential foul balls.

(kidding!)
(maybe)

at her 3rd birthday, it’ll be time to pay the entire ticket price. This has banished me and my family to foul-ball free zones.

At 3? Seriously – that’s just ridiculous…family friendly – baseball you are not

It’s true. Now if the Phils were an attendance-starved organization I might recommend a far-flung upperdeck section where you could do something cute like “parents get in 1/2 price for anyone under 5,” but we’re not.

SRO is not a bad deal really, you get used to the Phanatic Phun Zone, and then comes a day when you can get them through a 13-inning walk-off deal in a regular section (potty breaks not included).

There are some stadiums that make you pay full price for even 1 and 2 year olds. Nationals made us pay full price when my son wasn’t even 2.

Blanton

I kind of got the feeling that Blanton got annoyed by his team mates (Werth dropping the fly ball) and lost his concentration and just served up Home Runs. I am not justifying his actions but this was my take last week. And, honestly, I can’t blame him. He gets a hit the inning before and he stays on 1st base, a fly ball dropped and …..

Not professional but I guess we will never know!
