Giants Prospect Aspires to be like Ugueth Urbina

San Francisco Giants minor leaguer Angel Villalona turned himself in to police Sunday following a killing in the Dominican Republic. A 25 year old man was shot to death in a bar and Villalona, 19 years of age, has been charged with his murder. Limited details are available and no motive has been made known.

The legal drinking age in the Dominican Republic is 18 years old.

Villalona was signed by San Francisco at age 16 and was given a team record signing bonus of $2.1 million. Villalona, a first baseman, played in 74 games with advance A level San Jose this season, but had missed much of the second half of the season due to an injury. His last game played this season was on July 7th. In 2009, Villalona batted .267 with 9 homers and 42 RBI.

The Giants have not said much of the situation, only stating they are "disappointed" and "will monitor the situation".

Harry Kalas Phorever...

Legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas passed away today. Harry collapsed while preparing to call today's game against the Washington Nationals. So many phans will feel as though we've lost a member of our own families. I feel as though I've lost a part of myself, but Harry enhanced my love of the great sport we call baseball and I will always carry that love, and Harry, in my heart. I've stated on this page before that I consider Harry more of a Phillie than anyone who wears the uniform as an active member of the roster. Harry Kalas was a Phillie. Moreso, Harry Kalas was the Phillies. Please share your thoughts and memories of Harry in the comments section, or send them to PhoulBallz (at) verizon (dot) net.

Ryan Madson is acting questionable

I've seen similar types of "poking fun" entries on other Phillies blogs. When this picture came across my desk today, I figured, "Why not...?" Ryan Madson was out on the town (Manayunk) over the weekend and was photographed acting pretty with a purse slung over his shoulder and being chummy with a friend of mine. Can I really call him a friend, if he's actually my friends' friend , and I only prank called him once? Sure, why the heck not?!
