Phillies – Utley is Back in the Chase

 
Do you see any resemblance?  No, well both of them have the ability to unleash their bats and cause untold havoc on their opponents . . . .   Utley was back in his rare form yesterday when belted in 6 RBI’s against the Colorado Rockies.  The Philadelphia Phillies as a team knocked in 20 runs [...]

Phillies – Team of Brotherly Love

There are many reasons that someone may pick the Phillies to be their fan favorite.  It could be because of their incredible comeback wins.  The Phillies may be your team because of their unprecedented offense or the bold statements of their current 2 National League MVP’s.  My reasoning goes to the basics of the team including the teamwork [...]
