    Some Philly boxing news last night. Bryant Jennings from North Philly had a solid win last night at MSG (theater) to stay undefeated. He is looking really good and is starting to earn himself some good fights.

    Pretty cool story. 29 years old, didn't start boxing until he was 24. Worked as a mechanic at the Federal Reserve here until recently. I didn't know anything about him until around 2012 when a buddy who works there told me about him.

    Never been to Wing Bowl, but I've seen pics. Kinda pissed it's Friday. Taking kid down to see the Hershey Bear / Phantoms game Saturday afternoon. No way the place gets a thorough cleaning. Who knows what kind of shit I'll be sitting in.

    It's always on a Friday.

    Don't the Phantoms play in Allentown now or something?

    Allentown next year. The arena was supposed to be done this year, they hit a snag. Not sure what the snag was.

    well, here's a little bit of good news. keith law has the phils farm system ranked 14th. he had them 27th last year:

    14. Philadelphia Phillies

    Similar to Texas but with fewer prospects who are potential grade 65 or better players in the majors. I thought the Phillies had one of the best drafts, perhaps the best of anyone, in 2013, landing a few high-ceiling high school kids -- such as shortstop J.P. Crawford -- while mixing in some solid college bats like catcher Andrew Knapp.

    So that dude from Philly on Top Chef won last night. His restaurant also got a legit review recently. Too bad you can't get in.

    That said, Philly now has 2 Top Chef and one Iron Chef winners. And I know the dude from Vedge won Chopped so there is that too. Pretty cool.

    I was able to get 3. the store would only sell 3 per person. Worst part is I decided not to drink this weekend.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    yes at the right price definitely. would be a nice 3rd starter and could allow you to move Kendrick to the bullpen if you so desire. I've always preferred Kendrick as a middle reliever. think he is better suited there.

    Doesn't matter. I'd actually prefer to go with the young guys since this team has next to no chance of contending. At least if pettibone starts the season in the rotation they will realize he isn't good and get it over with, rather than promoting him as part of their future.

    Lot of talk of Ruff making the team and playing 1B vs lefties. This should have happened two years ago...would love to see Ryno implement this type of strategy. $25 million a year for a platoon guy -- seriously, how does amaro still have a job?????

    This season is going to suck...they even whiffed on the announcing team. They really can't do anything right.

    it's R-U-F

    my initial thought is that Jamie Moyer is a little boring to be in the booth. Don't know about Stairs. I guess one huge Home Run can take you far though.

    One of my favorite games ever. Sorry.

    That said, would be a good signing but seems slightly pointless. Could be a solid rotation of that Cuban (?) kid is good.

    Well they obviously need everything to go right to even have a shot at the wildcard. So from that standpoint a 1 year deal would make sense to me. If they are all injured and sucking again, you flip him in July.

    And Cliff, go to hell! Haha

    Ha yeah, sorry, I had to.

    Yeah good point. No reason not to. I always liked the guy, which is weird because he's the kind of guy I usually dislike. He'd actually be good for the yanks this year too, but that would never happen. Neither side would have any interest at all

    Crazy stat, since losing to the Yankees in the 09 series Howard, Utley, JRoll and Chooch have only played together 119 times out of 648 games.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    per the linked article below, the last two years phils are 77-63 in games Ryan Howard has started. which equates to 89 wins over a full season.

    and 77-107 in games he has not started.

    pretty interesting especially when considering he played those 2 years with a bad leg. wonder how the haters will spin those numbers . fact is even striking out a 3rd of his at bats this team wins when ryan is in the lineup.

    That can't be right because he's the worst player ever. ;)
