Phils to See Cole Hamels For the First Time Since Being Traded

Hi everybody,

The Phillies are in Texas to play the Rangers tonight and will see former Phils pitcher Cole Hamels for the first time since he was traded in July 2015.  Unfortunately Hamels is injured (out eight weeks with a strained oblique muscle) and will be unable to pitch in the series.  It will still be good to see Hamels in the dugout but I would have liked to see him pitch against the Phils.

Miss Cole and Hunter on the Phils...

Hamels will always look better in Phils pinstripes....

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (11-16-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's photo Chase may be one that I used a long time ago but I decided to share it again because it shows a lot of old Phils with Chase during happier times in 2011.

Throwback Thursday (3-10-16)

Hi everybody,

This week's Throwback Thursday moment occurred in August 2012 on Hunter Pence Bobblehead Night at the ballpark.  This was a few weeks after Hunter was stupidly traded to the San Francisco Giants for basically nothing. It was cool to get this collectible but I still wish that Hunter was a Phillie.

Ruben Amaro Jr No Longer Phillies General Manager

Hi everybody,

Ruben Amaro Jr. was fired from his position as Phillies General Manager yesterday afternoon.  RAJ has been the Phillies GM since the start of the 2009 season as he has led the Phils to three straight NL East Titles (2009-2011) and one NL Pennant (2009).  He has also failed to make the postseason the past four seasons.  The Phils are expected to announce their new GM by the end of October.

I am glad that RAJ is finally gone as he has made some questionable decisions the last few seasons...including trading Hunter Pence to the Giants for nothing in 2012 and sending my hero Chase Utley to the Dodgers last month.  I also have to give him credit where it is due for the Four Aces (Halliday, Lee, Oswalt and Hamels) as well as getting Pence in 2011.

Pick a winner...

I wish RAJ well in his future endeavors but I think it's time to celebrate.

Party time....woohooo!!

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (9-2-15)

Hi everybody,

This week's photo is a cool older pic that I intended to post awhile ago.  I think it's from 2011 or 2012 because I see Charlie, JRoll and Hunter as well as Chase.  I can't believe that none of them are on the Phils anymore...sigh.

Congrats to 2014 World Series Champion Hunter Pence

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to congratulate Hunter Pence and the San Francisco Giants for their World Series win on Wednesday night against the Kansas City Royals. It is Hunter's 2nd World Series Ring since being foolishly traded by the Phillies in 2012.  I am very happy for him but I really wish he was still a Phillie!

Two-time World Series Champ & the WWE World Champion???

Hunter Pence Photo(s) of the Month (March)

Hi everybody,

Welcome to final Hunter Pence Photo of the Month.  With the start of the regular season on Monday and the fact that Hunter hasn't been a Phillie since July 2012...it feels like it is time to stop posting pictures each month.  I still may occasionally post pictures of Pence but not on a monthly basis.  I wish Hunter well and to this day still wish he was a Phillie.  Without further adieu....he are lots of pictures!

Took this photo on Photo Day in 2012....

Hunter really could sell bread.....
