Has there ever been a new Phillie that has broken onto the scene like Ibanez? Okay, there has. But Phillies fans remember the Danny Tartabull's and the Lance Parrish's more. Raul Ibanez is truly been a treat so far this year.

love coming back from to read Beerleaguer comments... Some of them are so miserable, it's maddening. Here are some thoughts from CBP.

This is the time of year where this blog becomes more of a Phillies blog than anything else. Tonight the Phillies will take on the Nationals and Cole Hamels, the Phillies ace will take the mound. Twittering here.

Well the Phillies bats fell to Jeff Francis. JEFF Freaking Francis!?! Hamels had one bad inning. Has the town given up?

The Phillies will try to recover from their game one loss. Let's get after it today and take one back in our home. Follow along with HammRadio as I twitter from the game.

I woke up this morning exhausted from an incredibly tough day. Sometimes sports can bring you the highest highs and the lowest lows. Today was the highest of them all. Can You Feel It? YES!!

Charlie Manuel Quote of the Day: The Phillies are 3-10. Lose to the lowly Nationals in Extra Innings. Brett Myers in the bullpen. And Shane Victorino chimes in.

The Phillies are in first place... Okay, they are tied. But they are in first place with 10 games to go... Folks the ride is not over!

Flag Day. Is it a holiday if you don't have the day off? Did you even know that it was flag day? Do you really care?
