July 13, 2004. First-half MVP: Ryan Madson. Stupid, predictable joke: What do Ryan Madson and gauze have in common? The Phillies’ moto for the first half should be something like the answer to that question:. Phillies’ First Half: We stopped the bleeding for now. The bleeding came from the jugular in one giant gush: the entire starting rotation, besides Eric Milton, were either hurt or sucked. But folks who are still clamoring should realize that Madson proved more valuable in mop-up. The team leaned...

Berks Phillies Fans: Did you know?

http://berksphilliesfans.blogspot.com/2005/05/did-you-know.html

May 13, 2005. If former Astros General Manager Gerry Hunsicker replaces Ed Wade, he will be reunited with the player that represents perhaps his poorest move with Houston losing Bobby Abreu to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 1997 expansion draft. In a bit, I’ll have a full report card of the man many people desire as the Phils new GM. Posted by Jason Weitzel @ 5/13/2005. Balls, Sticks and Stuff. Swing and a Miss. I Am Not an Athlete. Brush Backs and Knock Downs. Curse of Ron Karkovice (CWS).

Berks Phillies Fans: Note to BPF readers

http://berksphilliesfans.blogspot.com/2005/05/note-to-bpf-readers.html

May 15, 2005. Note to BPF readers. Due to some major site reconstruction, which should be completed by Monday morning, I will be on posting hiatus for the next few days. Check back Monday for my thoughts on the Phils, their Saturday night loss, and the Marlon Byrd, Endy Chavez trade. Posted by Jason Weitzel @ 5/15/2005. Balls, Sticks and Stuff. Swing and a Miss.

Berks Phillies Fans: BPF sheds chooch-sized tear

http://berksphilliesfans.blogspot.com/2005/05/bpf-sheds-chooch-sized-tear.html

May 10, 2005. BPF sheds chooch-sized tear. Passing along information for those of you that don't know: BPF favorite, catcher Carlos Ruiz, suffered a broken leg in a home-plate collision with Mike Kinkade during Friday night's loss to Buffalo. Strangely enough, the collision represented an weird, cosmic clashing of two players my stepfather and I like for odd reasons: Ruiz and Kinkade. Posted by Jason Weitzel @ 5/10/2005. Balls, Sticks and Stuff. Swing and a Miss. I Am Not an Athlete. The Joy of Sox (BOS).

Berks Phillies Fans: Pitching for breakfast

http://berksphilliesfans.blogspot.com/2005/05/pitching-for-breakfast.html

May 11, 2005. A few pitching morsels to start your day. Phils face junkball LHP Davis today. The Phillies can still salvage a series win tonight against the Brewers but need to beat tough left-hander Doug Davis. Davis, a lifetime 0-1 with a 2.84 ERA in two career outings against the Phils, is exactly the type of pitcher the Phils struggle against a southpaw who mixes off-speed pitches with a tough cutter inside to right-handers. It should be a great matchup this afternoon featuring two unheralded pitchers.

July 30, 2004. Floyd called up to Scranton. RHP Gavin Floyd was promoted to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre today after going 8 2/3 innings and coming within one out of his second straight complete game last night against Harrisburg. Floyd was 7-7 in Reading with an ERA of 2.57, second best in the Eastern League. Our main man, Reading catcher Carlos Ruiz, is the subject of a column. By long-time Reading Eagle sports writer Tony Zonca. To quote:. Posted by Jason Weitzel @ 7/30/2004. Whatever happened to Marlon Byrd?

July 02, 2004. Posted by Jason Weitzel @ 7/02/2004. Orioles series preview: Phils eye sweep. The Phillies look to keep the bats clicking this weekend against Baltimore, who own the highest ERA and WHIP in the American League. The Phils will bring Myers (Fri.), Millwood (Sat.) and Milton (Sun.) to the mound against LHP Mike Riley, LHP Erik Bedard, and RHP Sidney Ponson. For the season, the Phils are batting .274 against left-hand pitching. Posted by Jason Weitzel @ 7/02/2004. July 01, 2004. Whether or not...

December 18, 2004. If the Randy Johnson deal goes through, the Dodgers will have a new look, and a blank canvas, for GM Paul DePodesta to work his artistry. In the Randy Johnson three-way deal, they’re shaking loose $16 from what Shawn Green would be owed in 2005, and $5.5 to Kaz Ishii, although they’re throwing in $2 million the Yankees’ way. Planting seeds with prospects. The Dodgers have certainly been the most dynamic team this offseason, and it isn’t over yet. In the last two days, the Dodgers f...

Berks Phillies Fans: Phils-Brewers wrap: Manuel feeling heat

http://berksphilliesfans.blogspot.com/2005/05/phils-brewers-wrap-manuel-feeling-heat.html

May 12, 2005. Phils-Brewers wrap: Manuel feeling heat. As the Phillies pass the symbolic 35 game mark, the Brewers series will be remembered as the point Phillies fans added Charlie Manuel to the list. The loss put the Phils 6 1/2 back of first-place Atlanta as the Phils wasted a career-high 11 strikeouts from Lidle. When so many parts are playing this poorly, it tells me there's something wrong with the heart and passion of the team. Under Bowa, a fearless competitor and perfectionist, the team ofte...
