I've realized that I've been kind of negative towards the Phils lately. I know it's not entirely fair. As such, I just wanted to play "The Master of the Obvious" and report that Chase Utley is a total stud. I was at the game tonight and watched him extend his hitting streak to 26 games. I love watching him play. To quote Larry Brown, he "plays the game the right way." If we had more guys like Chase in this town, our championship drought would have been over a long time ago.
I just hope we don't alienate this guy like Rolen, give him too much money too soon and have him turn into another Burrell, or fail to surround him with the necessary talent to succeed like Barkley and Iverson. Even if Chase did get a huge contract in the next year or so, he seems like the kind of guy that would continue to show the grit and determination necessary to make himself an even better player. You have to admit, the organization's failure to surround him other stud players is a scary, but not entirely unlikely, possibility.
Let's hope Chase and side kick Ryan Howard stick around here for awhile. From this perspective, they have a chance to become all time Phillies. (Seriously, if they continue at this pace, what former Phil compares to them at their positions?) As long as we keep these guys away from Burrell and Lieby, things should be all good.

The new Phanatic DVD?
i just watched the phillies manager speak in his press conference.....seriously, he is a friggin retard...I mean i couldn't understand anything he said....he is a complete tard....why is our coach a alittle smarter than a tad pole..we will never win anything if that dousche bag is our coach....
I watched that old fart hobble onto the field Wednesday night to challenge a call at first base. It was painful watching him drag his carcass out there. Thank god it wasn't a play at third base. It would have taken him a day and a half.
Chris Coste is a good human interest story to watch. The Randy Wolf comeback try could be interesting.
I'll write a story about Wolfie as soon as he breaks 82 w/ his fastball.
Greets to the webmaster of this wonderful site. Keep working. Thank you.
