Tired Of The Off Days – And The Excuses
I have not had, in all of my 37 years, a team tell the press that it’s “Good that we have an off day coming up” as much as this year’s Phillies team.

Sixers Draft Florida’s Speights
The 76ers drafted forward Marreese Speights with the 16th pick in the NBA draft last night.

Phillies Stealing Signs?
The Boston Globe is reporting that the Phillies stole certain signs during the team’s recent home series with the Boston Red Sox.
Give me an ever-loving break – the Phils lost two of three in that series, badly.
Charlie on this whole mess:
We’re getting our butts kicked, and we’re stealing signs?†Manuel said Thursday as the Phillies [...]
Wishes Do Come True [podcast]
Philly SportsCast #138 – June 25, 2008
A couple of weeks ago the Phillies could do no wrong, now we get a six-game losing streak and lots of worried looks at the plate for a team that can hit the junk out of the ball pretty much any time it wants.
Well that came to an [...]
