My Neighbors Be Talkin'

Here are some cool links to enjoy on this rainy Monday.

Amanda reviews the results of our All-time Phillies phantasy draft. Guess who won! Yes, PhoulBallz.com drafted the best team, according to the people. My original post on the draft can be found here.

IronPigPen, the loser of the Phantasy draft survey, has a quick review of 2008 Phillie Les Walrond and his adventures in Japan so far this season.

FanIQ has some screen shots of the Washington Nationals and their misspelled home jerseys.

Crashburn Alley's got some fun Raul Ibanez .gif files, a graph comparing Ibanez and Pat Burrell, and glance at Josh Geer's pitches from Sunday's game.

The700Level has video of Raul Ibanez getting shaving creamed up, following his huge walk-off homer on Sunday.

BlueClaws TV has some guy named Muldo reminding you about the exciting home stand coming up for the boys in Lakewood. Wednesday's giveaway of a pine tree seedling, and dollar beers on Thirsty Thursday sound great to me.

We have the poll result up for the all-time Phillies teams selected recently at the IRONPIGPEN today, as well.

Depending upon ones perspective, the results either aren't very pretty or, are indeed quite lovely!

Rappers in Phillies Caps

Weekend greetings to you phine pholks out there. Today's post features pictures of rappers wearing Phillies caps. Why rappers in Phillies caps, you ask? Because... Any other questions? We will start things off properly by going with a highly recognizable hip hop star. 50 Cent stays constantly relavant by consistantly creating radio friendly material to help sell (G) units, while he "keeps it real" by still rapping about the thug life he lived before becoming the 2nd highest earning black entertainer in America. 50 is seen here in a recent interview rocking a throw-back Phillies cap. Next up we'll use a throw-back screen cap from what may be the very first major appearance by a rapper wearing Phillies gear. Chuck D, of legendary rap group Public Enemy, wore a Phillies cap in the music video for rap anthem Fight The Power in 1989. The song was the lead single from the soundtrack for Spike Lee's film Do The Right Thing . Next up we'll go with some home grown tal...

Ring-a-ling

This week I heard old news about how when the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl, they gave former Colt Edgerrin James a championship ring. "Edge" had been a Colt for seven years, and even though he was gone when they won the big one, the team and the coaching staff felt as though James had contributed in building the team that won it all, so they awarded him a ring. This got me wondering which people, in an extended Phillies phamily , would be deserving of a 2008 World Series Champions ring. I heard an interview with Mike Schmidt, in the days that followed the Series, and when asked if he thought he'd get a ring, he said, "They have my (ring) size." Schmidt, the Hall of Fame thirdbaseman , was a long time Phillie, a one time coach of the single-A Clearwater Threshers (where he managed World Series MVP Cole Hamels ) and appears as a guest hitting instructor in Phillies spring training every year. With all those things in mind, of course Mike Schmidt shou...

All in the Family

22-year-old pitching prospect Nick Hernandez's father helps him stay fit during the off-season Phillies pitching prospect Nick Hernandez spent much of the 2010 regular season on the disabled list with an injury to his throwing shoulder. The 6'4", 215 pound lefty, who was named a mid-season South Atlantic League all-star with the Class A Lakewood BlueClaws, attempted comebacks twice during the season, making rehab outings for the rookie level Gulf Coast League Phillies, but experienced setbacks that curtailed his return to the mound and kept him from helping his teammates lock down a second consecutive league championship for Lakewood. In 8 starts with the BlueClaws last season, the 12th round draft pick from 2009 posted a 3-1 record with a 1.61 ERA and averaged 7 innings per start. Hernandez's strength is throwing a lot of strikes and he owes some of his success to his father, also named Nick (Dad's full first name is spelled Nicolas, while son's name is spell...
