Blogging about the 5x NL East Champion Phillies
Over a year ago, I got in contact with Patrick Gallagher, a radio guy out in Phoenix.

Patrick, born and raised in the Philly area, went out west to chase a radio dream. He’s … Continue reading Happy trails, D League
The Fantastic Four. R2-C2. The Four Horsemen. There is one tiny problem with those nicknames. Or should I say, a 6’3”, 244-pound problem: Where’s Joe Blanton?

So check out my list and have fun in agreeing or disagreeing with it: Pitching, memories and mile stones oh my! 2010 was dubbed the year … Continue reading D League: 2010 Top 10 Moments in MLB
Here is my next column posted on The D League show’s blog. The Phantastic Phour. Phour Loko. The Phearsome Phoursome. The Phour Horsemen. It’s only been two days since the Phillies signed Cliff Lee and the rotation has already been bombarded with a handful of catchy nicknames. There have also been Photo-Shopped pictures with the … Continue reading D League: Cliff Lee
I wrote my debut column for the D League show based out of Arizona last night and it was run this morning on their site, TheDLeague.com.
