With the Dbacks coming to town I thought about links of the past between the Phils and Arizona. The Curt Schilling trade in 2000 was the first thing I though of. Curt went to 'zona, and the Phils got Travis Lee, Omar Daal, Nelson Figueroa, and Vicente Padilla. There were a total of 11 former   more...

With fresh faces on the way for their series in New York, could a catching move also be in the cards for the Phillies? Aside from injuries, teams usually stay the course behind the plate. Heck, if Sal Fasano, Mike Lieberthal and Rod Barajas hadn't been hurt at various points the last few seasons,   more...

The Texas Rangers' heartening road series victory in Washington, D.C. is underscored by the increasingly troubling absence of outfielder Milton Bradley, whose strained left quadriceps muscle continues to raise questions regarding his long-term future in Texas.

It seems that Zaun is re-signing with the Jays the day that the Barajas signing would be official. No word on what is going on with Barajas...either the Jays are gonna be stacked or this was an interesting play by JP to use Barajas to drop the price of Zaun.

Phillies ace lefthander Cole Hamels made his return from the DL going 3 innings giving up 3 runs on 5 hits, but it took a 14th inning winning RBI single by pinch hitter Rod Barajas, rightfielder Jayson Werth's 3 RBIs â€" 2 of them with his 14th inning triple, an unlikely 2 inning clutch relief   more...

Bored of being dispirited by the awfulness of the Phillies this spring and not even wanting to bother hashing out the Pirates problems I have focused my energy elsewhere. I decided to entertain myself by perusing the current 40-man rosters to piece together a team made of former Phils. Stipulation-   more...

I hate to harp on this play at the plate from Wednesday's Marlins/Phillies game but you have to listen to the Phillies' announcers. Classic!!

We've been waiting for this day since the 3 game flame-out last October...and it will be over before many of us get home from work. The challenge for many phans today: avoid the internet or sports radio until the game can be watched on DVR this evening. Good luck to all.As for the game: Brett Myers   more...

It's truly amazing how much of baseball is mental. In the first two months of the season, it looked as if Kenny Williams had found a diamond in the rough with the former Giants first round pick in Aardsma. Through Aardsma's first 15.6 IP, he posted a 1.72 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 23 K's (13.2 K/9 IP).   more...

Rod Barajas hit two home runs, one of them a grand slam, for the Blue Jays to lead them to a 6-3 victory over the Phillies. No, that's not a typo, that's the same Rod Barajas who stunk it up as a catcher for the Phillies last season. He finished with 5 RBIs on the game, just three shy of what   more...

This offseason has been a long one, anytime without baseball is a bad time. To help pass the countless days between watching the Phillies succumb to the Rockies in the 2007 playoffs until the 2008 Opening Day pitch from Brett Myers, I began an interview segment on the blog called Check Your Head.   more...
