What Makes You Root for Who?
In many ways boxing is different than team sports when it comes to fandom. If you went to college at Penn State or live in Pennsylvania then most likely Penn State is your favorite team. If you live closer to Philadelphia than to Pittsburgh you root for the Eagles and Phillies instead of the...
My Trip to Citi Field
I've lived in New York since 2003 and spent many a windy nights in Shea watching the Phillies usually beat the Mets (I think I was something like 7-2 at Phils/Mets games I attended). I have to say that I've never had any problems at Shea with Mets fans and I always wear at least a Phils hat and...

Is It Time To Bench Pedro Feliz?
Also posted at HTM When Pedro Feliz was signed to a 2 year, 8.5 million dollar deal in the off-season I had my reservations about the whole thing. Basically, I looked at these things called 'facts' and wondered why the Phillies should be starting a guy with a ludicrously low on-base percentage...
