Jim Thome

Good luck in Baltimore!!!
Hi everybody,

The Phils have traded Jim Thome to the Baltimore Orioles for minor league prospects Gabriel Lino (a catcher) and Kyle Simon (right-handed pitcher).  The trade will allow Thome to get a lot more playing time as the DH (Designated hitter) for the Orioles.

I am sad to see Thome go even though I understand why the trade was made.  I do wish Thome good luck in Baltimore and I will be rooting for him. He is truly a class act.

Thome's final stats as a Phillie this year are 9 Runs Scored, 15 RBIs, 5 Home Runs and 8 Walks.

Game 78: Pirates (39-35) at Phillies (36-41)

Hi everybody,

Here is the score of today's game:

Pittsburgh Pirates:              5
Philadelphia Phillies:          4

LP:   Kyle Kendrick (2-8)

Erik Kratz gets two RBIs (3)
Placido Polanco gets an RBI (18)
Hunter Pence gets an RBI (45)

Erik Kratz gets a Home Run (2)
Hunter Pence gets a Home Run (14)


From the 2nd through the 7th inning Kyle Kendrick pitched very well and kept the Pirates from scoring.  Unfortunately he gave up five runs in the 1st inning and that was enough for the Pirates to get a victory.  The Phils did manage to battle back and score four runs but were unable to tie the game.  The Phils are off to Miami for a weekend series and Chase Utley should be in the lineup tomorrow.

Game 77: Pirates (38-35) at Phillies (36-40)

Hi everybody,

Here is the score of tonight's game:

Pittsburgh Pirates:            11
Philadelphia Phillies:          7

LP:   Raul Valdes (2-1)

Chase Utley gets an RBI (1)
Carlos Ruiz gets two RBIs (43)

Shane Victorino gets an RBI (35)
Jimmy Rollins gets an RBI (27)
Juan Pierre gets an RBI (16)

Chase Utley gets a Home Run (1)
Carlos Ruiz gets a Home Run (11)


Chase Utley returned to the lineup tonight and had a great game hitting 3 for 5 with a Home Run and an RBI.  Utley's Home Run came in his first at bat and it put the Phils up 1-0.  It was a great first night back for Chase and I am really happy to see my hero back in action.

Unfortunately the bullpen pitched terrible and lost the game 11-7.  The Phils were down 8-2 in the 6th inning before they started to make a comeback. They cut the lead to 8-7 in the top of the 8th inning before the Pirates added three more runs.  The Phils go for the series win tomorrow afternoon before heading to Miami for a weekend series against the Marlins.  Go Phils!!!

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (6-27-12)

Hi everybody,

It's the best "Photo of the Week" week ever!! (so far)  Chase is back in the lineup tonight!!  I am so happy!!!  To celebrate I'm going to share two pictures this week!  First up is a pic from last night when he played with the Phils' AAA club The Iron Pigs.  This must have been after he hit his home run.  I hope he hits one tonight!!


The second pic is another one of Chase smiling...this time with Charlie Manuel.


Okay, I've gotta go watch the game now!  Go Chase and go Phils!!!

Carlos Ruiz continues to be the MVP of the team with two RBIs and a Home Run. The Phils look to win their third straight game tomorrow night and hopefully my hero Chase Utley will be back in the lineup.  Go Phils!!!

Nice win for the Phils as they start this four game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Joe Blanton pitched well for his seventh win of the season and the offense came through with eight runs.  Even the bullpen did its job and allowed no runs in its two innings of work.  Vance Worley pitches tomorrow night as the Phils go for two in a row against the Pirates.  Go Phils!!!

Jimmy Rollins gets a Home Run (7)


The Phils lose the first game of the doubleheader 3-2.  Cole Hamels pitched well for seven innings, leaving the game with a 1-0 lead.  The 1-0 lead was because of Jimmy Rollins solo Home Run in the six inning.  It was Rollins 3rd Home Run in as many games.  Antonio Bastardo entered the game in the 8th inning and proceeded to give up a three run Home Run.  The Phils managed to add another run in the bottom of the 8th but that was all.  The Phils try for the split in about twenty minutes with Cliff Lee on the mound.  Go Phils!!!

Jimmy Rollins gets a Home Run (6)

Jim Thome gets a Home Run (5)


What a walk-off win by the Phils!  After Jonathan Papelbon blows his first save of the season, Jim Thome hits a Home Run to win the game in the bottom of the 9th.  What an exciting way to end the game!  Juan Pierre also hit his first Home Run of the season with a three run blast in the 4th inning. Congrats also to Phillies skipper Charlie Manuel who won his 900th game as a Major League manager.  The Phils play a doubleheader tomorrow due to the last night's rain out with Cole Hamels pitching the early game and Cliff Lee pitching the late game.  Go Phils!!!

The offense failed to score more than one run and the Phils lose the final game of the series against the Colorado Rockies.  The one Phillies run was a lead-off Home Run in the 1st inning by Jimmy Rollins.  Vance Worley pitched well but still earned the loss.  He allowed two runs in seven innings of work.  The Tampa Bay Rays come to town for a weekend series.  Cliff Lee is on the mound as he tries to once again win his first game of the season. Let's hope he finally gets that elusive win tomorrow.  Go Phils!!!

What a comeback win by the Phils!  Down 6-5 in the bottom of the 9th...the Phils started the comeback with two outs.  Ty Wigginton got a single followed by a RBI double by Hunter Pence.  The Rockies then intentionally walked Carlos Ruiz.  Shane Victorino got an infield single to load the bases for Placido Polanco.  Polanco proceeded to win the game by reaching 1st base due to a fielding error by Rockies first baseman Todd Helton.  Helton did not have his foot on the bag so Polanco was declared safe after an infield hit. Polanco did not get an RBI due to the Helton error but the win is far more important.  The Phils go for the series sweep tomorrow with Vance Worley on the mound.  Go Phils!!!

Hi everybody,

I hope you all are having a good week.  I've been bummed about the Phillies so I decided to get some Popeyes Chicken to cheer me up.

This should be enough food for tonight!

This feast has lightened my mood and fortified me for tonight's game.  I wish that the Bacon Sundae from Burger King was out today instead of tomorrow. Not a big Burger King fan but that would hit the spot.

The Phils lose their third straight and have lost nine out of their last ten games.  They are now 9.5 games out of first place in the NL East and are fading fast.  At least Chase Utley played in a minor league game today and will be back with the club by July 3rd at the latest (barring any setback).  I am starting to fear that the Phils will be too far out of it by the time he gets back.

Weekend Update

Hi everybody,

Hope you all had a fun weekend.  With the exception of the Phils losing two straight, my weekend was pretty good.  I really enjoyed National Doughnut Day on Friday.  I kinda feel bad that I ended up not sharing the Krispy Kreme doughnuts with my friends.  I did manage to get rid of the evidence though.

My friends  are none the wiser...as long as they don't read any doughnut posts! 

Speaking of the Phillies, my hero Chase Utley is down in Florida taking part in extended Spring Training.  He batted 3 for 4 with a Home Run and a double today as the designated hitter in a simulated game.  Hopefully he will soon play some actual minor league rehab starts and return to the Phils.  I know I can't wait.

I still haven't made a album of my trip to Gettysburg to share with everyone. Sorry about that.  Until then, here are a couple more pictures from my trip:

Hi everybody,

It's finally here.  I know I've said it before but I'm not sure I've made the right decision with this one. Oh well. From this point on in this post, I wash my hands of the whole "Ladies' Night" thing and turn it over to my friend.  If you would like to read the history of Ladies' Night, just click on the label at the bottom of the post.  Talk to you soon, L.C.:



Though I don't approve, it is my bar and I gotta work here!

















Hi ladies.  This is L.C.'s friend Ann Onymous with the very exciting and, I'm sure, much anticipated Chase Utley Ladies' Night!  I'm enjoying a cocktail and listening to some music at Little C.'s as I compose this.  I know L.C. doesn't really like the idea of us looking at Chase for more than his baseball abilities, but I think we all appreciate those as well.  Unfortunately, it's been quite a while since we've seen his baseball skills (or his cute behind) in action!  


For the first Ladies' Night, I've got a picture that I think even L.C. would find tasteful.  It also happens to be very sexy!

I really want to apologize about the extremely late update.  I guess I did a little too much National Doughnut Day celebrating.  This was a great win by the Phils to start out this three game series against the Marlins.  Kyle Kendrick pitched well once again and Jonathan Papelbon got his 15th save.  It was a five out save and was very impressive.  The Phils as a whole hit really well. Hunter Pence smashed his 12th Home Run and got three hits.  Placido Polanco and Carlos Ruiz also got three hits each.  Hector Luna looked sharp at the plate with three RBIs.  The Phils continue the series this afternoon with Cole Hamels pitching.  Go Phils!!!

Talk to you soon,

National Doughnut Day

Hi everybody,

Happy National Doughnut Day everybody!  To celebrate this great day, I bought a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts for me and my friends.  I was going to share them during the Phillies game tonight....but I got hungry!



I really did plan to share but those Krispy Kreme doughnuts drive me crazy! Oh well...what are you gonna do?  I'd better hide the evidence before they get here!

Talk to you soon,
