I broke my coffee mug this morning. Not just any mug, but my favorite. The handle had a significant chip in it and was clearly ready to fall, but I didn't look at the signs. All of it was in front of my eyes and I just ignored it. And then it broke. Of course, I'm lying to you, I actually

His talent and poise are remarkable, and are reasons why K-rod is prime to be the number one fantasy closer in 2008.1. Francisco Rodriguez'LAA 'K-Rod' has been blowing hitters away since he came into the league, and last year was no exception. He has had 40+ saves for the last three

Brad Lidge knows what to expect from Philly fans (via Bugs and Cranks)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Dirtlocker points for: Brad Lidge

Phillies closer Brad Lidge has already been predisposed to the fact that Philadelphia fans are a temperamental bunch who can turn on a player at any given moment. And while some past-closers have struggled with this concept, [*COUGH*billywagner*COUGH*] Brad has already embraced it. Not only that — he encourages it. Check out [...]

Phillies Poised for a Breakout Season in '08 (via Yardbarker)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Dirtlocker points for: Tom Gordon, Cole Hamels, Ryan Howard, Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, Brett Myers, Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley

This has been a busy offseason for the Phils. Aquiring Brad Lidge, watching one of your team leaders in Aaron Rownd leave, and 100-win predictions, it has ben a roller coaster ride. Although they did lose Rowand, the Phillies are still the most talented team in the NL East. They have what is probably the best young core in basebell with Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Cole Hamels, and ...

Should the Phillies go after Otsuka? (via ArmchairGM)

As I look over the list of the free agent relievers I am puzzled and unenthused. Especially given the huge contracts that middle relievers have been signing this off-season. Will someone tell me how Ron Mahay got a two year eight million dollar contract? The Philadelphia Phillies have certainly

In the wake of Aaron Rowand's signing with the San Francisco Giants and the trade of Michael Bourn to the Astros in the Brad Lidge deal, the Phillies have suddenly found themselves a little short in the outfield. The Phillies have under contract Pat Burrell, who actually was productive last

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Dirtlocker points for: Brad Lidge, Aaron Rowand

Once again Phillies fans the ownership of our baseball club is allowing the rest of the National league to become stronger as our team becomes weaker. First Miguel Tajeda signed with the Houston Astros. Which is hard to swallow, he was there for us to grab and fill in at our glaring need at third base. But the worse was yet to come as the San Francisco Giants signed our guy – Aaron Rowand. H...
