The Phillies blogosphere really outdid itself during the whole Jayson Werth Beard Era. It was a glorious time, but we flew just a little too close to the sun... we'll always have Photo Day.

I'm not sure if this is creepiest or funniest thing I've ever seen, but here we go. And he used my Lebowski Photoshop, giving me credit in the process, so thanks whomever you are.

I do feel just a little guilty about the campaign of terror that the Phillies have waged against this guy over the past two postseasons. Wait, no I don't. Fatty fat!!

I thought losing Aaron Rowand would hurt the Phillies and I am still not sure that it didn't at first. But I have been told too many times for it not to be true that Chase Utley is that guy now. And Utley says nothing, at least publicly.

I don't know if there's been a worse paragraph in the history of human written communication.

Pretty sure it was a home recording of “Remember You” by Sarah McLaughlin.

Threadjack: Does anyone else find Sarah McLaughlin really, really sexy? Even when she’s surrounded by those abused animals I just want to sit next to her and nuzzle.

Donnellon

Chase Utley is now The Man and That Guy. So it leaves us to ask: Why can’t him?

Let’s hope Chase can lead the Flyers into the playoffs.

Phifer… Chopper. Phifer… Chopper.

I’d like to say it’s a fine line between brilliantly counterintuitive and imbecilic. But it isn’t, really.

Broxton giveth

“I do feel just a little guilty about the campaign of terror that the Phillies have waged against this guy over the past two postseasons. Wait, no I don’t. Fatty fat!!”

Broxton has been so good to me over the last two seasons. Now, this year, he’s going to be good to me as my closer in the roto league.

Coming and going…it is teh awesomeness.
