OK. Maybe not Chase, but according to Matt P. at The 700 Level it could be his ugly brother. Good enough for me.

The Phillies have been actively working the phones over the past several weeks trying to make a trade that would bolster their pitching rotation. The Phillies lack of serious starting pitching was made to look even weaker after the Milwaukee Brewers traded for Indians' ace CC Sabathia and the   more...

Classic moment at the Home Run Derby introductions tonight. Chase Utley was the second player introduced by Chris Berman of ESPN, following Dan Uggla. I couldn't really hear the crowd noise too clearly, but they must have been booing because it produced a pretty clear response from Utley. Let's   more...

Look out Jennifer. While the ballplayer-loving bombshell will be at the Park tomorrow pimping her MLB ladies-wear, she noted yesterday that she can't wait to see her some "hottie" Chase Utley at the All-Star game next week.

Yesterday, Major League Baseball announced its rosters for the 2008 All-Star Game to be played on July 15 at Yankee Stadium. Now, we take a look at the National League roster, to see who doesn't deserve to go and who got shafted. We don't have quite as many problems with the NL Roster as we did   more...

The first half of the 2008 Major League Baseball season has been full of surprises, from the Tigers to the Rays to the Padres to the Braves. Most surprising of all, at least to the Phillies faithful, is that at the All Star break the Phillies were in first place atop the National League East. The   more...

Chase Utley doesn't like to be jeered. He told the New York fans (probably Mets) what to do after he heard the boo birds during his introduction to the home run derby. ESPN caught many of the profanities last night, but it didn't catch this one.

If there's anything true about baseball analysts everywhere, or sports analysts as a whole, it's that predicting isn't exactly their forte.

This one surprised me, I was expecting to see either Atlanta's 3B Chipper Jones* or CF Josh Hamilton** of the Rangers on top of this list, but instead, we find Houston's 1B Lance Berkman** just edging out Hamilton. In fact, Jones doesn't even make this top 20 list as he has begun to come down to   more...

You know me and my random thoughts that seem to go in many tangeants. Well it seems that I have a lot of things to talk about during the All-Star Break but unfortunately nothing of great substance.
