This is something I've been sitting on for awhile, but it's finally time to announce that The Good Phight will be bringing you the Maple Street Press 2011 Phillies Annual. Finally, we'll be in print!
Jason Weitzel from the essential Beerleaguer edited the publication for the previous two years, but stepped aside this year. We have big shoes to fill, and hope we can do everyone proud.
The publication will feature new, exclusive content from your buddies here at The Good Phight, as well as some friends from outside the blog.
Best of all, the Annual is available for pre-order here!*
*If you order online, we get a bonus. So... order online!

Will there be any section to honor the best foul-ball catchers of the season?

I wrote a special 30,000 word second-by-second recap of the momentous catch.

There’ll be no video link though – MLB copyright police have taken it down from youtube. Fuckers.

But to put my fandom this way… last year I bought myself a custom Phillies shirt… it’s green with the name “Joyce” and the number 16. I wore it in Dublin this year on Bloomsday. It was a useful way of combining my two favorite things. Oddly enough, I ran into a Phillies fan in a pub that night who got it right away.
James Joyce?

Wait until the Braves come to town, when we bust out the Faulkner and re-fight the Civil War and pin the lost causes on them. Just, y’know, ’cause.

The Phils will be in Washington on April 12, but I’m sure we can do a fair bit of refighting during the prior weekend while they’re in Atlanta.
by Wet Luzinski on Dec 22, 2010 12:27 PM EST up reply actions
Yes, and Atlanta will look back on it as the Weekend Series of Northern Aggression.

“I just knew that she was looking at me as she never had before and that the scent of verbena in her hair seemed to have increased a hundred times, to have got a hundred times stronger, to be everywhere in the dusk in which something was about to happen which I had never dreamed of. Then she spoke. ‘Kiss me, Jayson.’
‘No. You are Chase’s wife.’”

What? No beat poetry?
I don't know what the fans do to create that much more volume and excitement in the stadium, but it's definitely something extra [in Philadelphia]. They're passionate fans. They understand what's going on. They don't need a teleprompter to tell them to get up and cheer. -Cliff Lee
You’d be amazed how corporate the Ginsberg estate people have gone – just gimme, gimme gimme.
But yeah, until mock blog diaries and baseball poetry start selling in airports, it’s all stats and analysis. zzzz

Really? I’d think Howl is public domain, it’s a classic of modern poetry. It’s sorta the Campbell’s soup can of that era of poetry.
Oh and those bastards.
Life of the artist + 70 years (thanks, Sonny Bono).
Which interestingly means that James Joyce’s works will enter the public domain in the US at the end of 2011, since Joyce died in 1941. Great news for Joyce scholars, since Joyce’s estate has been a festering tit about use of his works.

So aren’t there provisions made for things like WL’s BURL – if it’s not aimed to slander the original creator but used for purposes of satire or homage that it’d be acceptable? Like what about cover bands for example?
Live performance is an odd loophole. If any of those cover bands (a’la Me First and the Gimme Gimmes or Dread Zeppelin) record those songs and sell them, they need permission and have to pay songwriter’s and Publisher’s royalties to the appropriate parties.
So what about BURL? The intent clearly isn’t to slander Ginsberg nor is WL trying to make the poem’s structure or style his own like stealing a riff from a song or would it be an issue of publishing it and profitting from it.
or else Dr. Demento would have never existed.

How much page space will be dedicated to the origin of the Brad Lidge Wobble-Head?

“It will be like this, but different.” Our Phillies magazine is going to be about the Braves.

It’s a short book then, I take it?

Pre order link correct ? I don’t see a referral id in the addy to indicate that its coming from The Good Phight. Or is it just a buy online in general not directly linked of here kinda thing?
How's your wife and my kids?
I'm really looking forward to it
It’s in-depth pitch-by-pitch analysis – with speed & frequency thrown – was the only source that allowed me to correct MLB2K’s abysmal original configuration.
I don’t know who does their scouting, but it was terrible.
Cole Hamels does NOT throw a 2-seamer!

Not 46% of the time
or some similar ridiculous percentage.
They’ve got Doc with a 12-6’er instead of knuckle curves, straight change instead of a splitter…
basically I’m just mad that 2K isn’t “The Show.”
Seriously, though, their scouts suck.
