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.

Tonight, I'll be at the ballpark, in my powder blue sweatshirt with it's old school P, watching Cole Hamels tear down the Nats. We want REVENGE for nerdy mayors and Tom Gordon.

Oh it's friday. It's a rainy friday here in Philly. So here are some links and some jokes. Or jokes with some links. Ah you know the drill.

Ryan Howard says he'd give up his MVP for a World Series title. I too would gladly give up my Rutland Street Stick Ball MVP's from 1986 through 1988 for one as well! We'll be twittering from the game!!! Follow us here...

Coming into the most recent 10 game homestand, the Phillies were faced with going 7-3 to get to .500 at the end of the stretch. The Phillies did just that.

How is it possible, that a season that started out with so much expectation and promise, that the Phillies were completely unprepared to win more than one game in the opening week. For the second year in a row!

Charlie Manuel Quote of the Day: The phils drop their 3rd game in the row, pretty much the same as last season against the Cardinals. It's going to be a long season.

Charlie Manuel Quote of the Day: Well, Ryan Madson has given up 2 extra inning homeruns in consecutive games. Ultimately ruining good starting pitching. Charlie has thoughts on it.

Well, somehow I missed the most bizarre first inning of a Phillies game all year. Go Me!
