    Have you tried a store called Lids? They have a few stores in the philly area malls. Only other spot i could think of would be online.

    Nice win. Phinally saw Cliff Lee pitch :D The band "The Baseball Project" sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame during the 7th inning stretch :D Also got real lucky in parking. I usually go past Broad ST. and turn on Packer Ave. then make the first left you can on Lawrence St. If you get lucky you can park on that street for free and there were a few spots open do parked there. ALl in all I think i spent about $8 total at the Phills game. $4 on hot dogs and $4 on water :roll:

    Lenny Dykstra charged with having drugs, car theft
    SAN FERNANDO, Calif. (AP)—Former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies star Lenny Dykstra was jailed Monday on grand theft auto and drug possession charges after being accused of using phony information to lease a car from a Southern California dealership.

    Dykstra, 48, was charged with 25 misdemeanor and felony counts of grand theft auto, attempted grand theft auto, identity theft and other crimes, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. He faces up to 12 years in state prison if convicted.

    Dykstra was taken into custody during a hearing in San Fernando Superior Court on the new charges. He was jailed on $500,000 bail with a bail-review hearing set for Friday.

    His accountant and a friend were charged in connection with the alleged auto theft but not with drug crimes, Robison said.

    All three men are scheduled to be arraigned June 16.

    Prosecutors contend that the three men tried to lease high-end cars from dealers this year by providing phony information and claiming credit through a phony business called Home Free Systems.

    Two dealerships rejected the lease applications but a third allowed the men to drive off with three cars, according to a statement from the district attorney’s office.

    Police who arrested Dykstra on April 14 found cocaine, Ecstasy and the synthetic human growth hormone Somatropin at his San Fernando Valley home, the statement said.

    Robison said Dykstra had not obtained a lawyer to represent him in the case.

    “Of course I’m not guilty,” Dykstra told the Daily News of New York on Monday. “The car got stolen alright—stolen by them. I don’t have it anymore. It’s gone like my computer, my phone, my clothes.”

    That may be a reference to Dykstra’s financial woes.

    Dykstra, who bought a Ventura County mansion once owned by hockey star Wayne Gretzky, filed for bankruptcy two years ago, claiming he owed more than $31 million and had only $50,000 in assets.

    In May, he was charged with more than a dozen federal counts, including bankruptcy fraud.

    Not what I want to hear about a 2nd round pick


    Miami's top prospect entering the year was supposed to be third baseman Harold Martinez, who also was highly touted entering his senior year in high school. He has a long performance track record that included two USA Baseball stints. He had a modest senior high school season and wound up at Miami, and he seems to be following a similar path this year. He hit 21 homers as a sophomore to lead the Atlantic Coast Conference. The less-potent bats at the college level this season have affected Martinez, though, and he had as many sacrifice hits (10) as extra-base hits through 53 games. He has timing issues at the plate and doesn't recognize pitches well, and he has yet to hit .300 at the college level. He has raw power but doesn't make consistent enough contact to bring it out. Martinez is a solid athlete who can handle third base defensively, with plenty of arm strength. He has filled in at shortstop when needed and has played some first base. He runs well enough to handle a corner outfield spot. His best-case scenario as a pro could be as a utility player thanks to his glove.

    This is more like it. Loading up on sticks, which is cool

    Roman Quinn, of
    Port St. Joe HS

    A Florida State signee, Quinn was a must-see at relatively remote Port St. Joe, on the Florida Panhandle. The fastest player in the BA Top 200, he's a true top-of-the-scale runner with game-changing speed. He's a high school shortstop who has the arm strength (solid-average) and hands to stay in the infield. Quinn has the athleticism to play second base, but his speed plays better in center field, which is where more scouts project him to wind up. He's a righthanded hitter who has been learning to switch-hit over the last year. The 2010 East Coast Pro showcase was his first game action hitting lefthanded, and he was overmatched, so he backed off switch-hitting for a time. He resumed it this spring and has improved from the left side. Scouts like his righthanded swing, which produces surprising pop. His 5-foot-9, 165-pound size may drive him down draft boards, but he had helium and was unlikely to get out of the third round.

    Adam Morgan, lhp
    Alabama

    Alabama's roster is thin on tools, and the Crimson Tide may not have more than one player drafted in the first 10 rounds: Morgan, who has had flashes of brilliance mixed with low points. He has pitched in the rotation for three seasons, and his solid size and good arm action entice scouts. His delivery, arm action and delivery evoke Cliff Lee, though he doesn't have Lee's stuff or command. Morgan does pound the strike zone and at times pitches downhill with a 90-92 mph fastball. He also has flashed an above-average slider that will touch 84 mph, and his changeup flashes average as well. So why doesn't Morgan dominate? He was just 5-6, 4.14 this season with 72 strikeouts and 23 walks in 91 innings. His fastball more regularly sits in the 87-90 mph range, and even at lower velocity it can flatten out. He has a stiff front leg in his delivery that at times prevents him from keeping the ball down, and his slider is inconsistent. He has been durable this season, though his delivery does raise injury concerns with some scouts.

    Ha. I'm kinda flattered that we would be getting hit with Yankee/Red Sock-type insults....

    And is this coming from a guy who watched a team that spent a ton on Fat Head to come to San Fran? :think:

    And the other Ace pitchers were generally obtained with homegrown prospects. Lee was traded away and came back, but originally was acquired with Phillies draftees.

    Aren't the Giants the team that "stole" Aaron Rowand from us? :lol: :P Wanna talk about spending money? :? :o

    Looking forward to seeing this kid de la rosa pitch for LA tonight. Apparently he throws 100. He was a top 100 prospect coming into the year. He's up a lot earlier than experts thought he'd be. should be interesting

    This guy was the 83rd ranked prospect coming into draft. Committed to Georgia, so he's a tough sign. Give him the cash and get him on board. Love these types of picks

    Tyler Greene, ss
    West Boca Raton HS

    Teammate of highly regarded righthander Mike Kelly, Greene is one of the draft's bigger enigmas. The younger brother of Mets farmhand Chase Greene, Tyler pushed his brother off shortstop when they played together in 2009, when he was just a sophomore. He's impressive physically and shows well in workouts and showcases with his raw tools. Greene has improved his speed to well above-average over the last year by getting stronger and more explosive. He has a fast-twitch body and athletic ability, and looks the part at shortstop. He's not natural at short, doesn't always get good hops and doesn't have the most accurate arm, short-circuiting his plus arm strength. Offensively, he was erratic on the showcase circuit and again this spring, where he was hitting around .380 in mid May with just five home runs. Greene also could move up boards with a strong workout.
