The second round for the Philadelphia blog tournament known as The Phield kicks off today. Voting starts at 8am and goes through 8pm. The only things that stand between PhoulBallz.com and the Sweet 16 are your votes and the #3 seed Delaware News Journal's Philled In blog. Vote for all your favorite blogs by clicking THIS LINK. Voting is open 8am till 8pm.

If you're unfamiliar with PhoulBallz.com and perhaps aren't sure who to vote for in the 3 vs. 6 match up in the Daulerio Region, please accept this list of 10 reasons why you should vote for PhoulBallz.com...

#1- Exclusive interviews. Philled In isn't the only one with press access. With over 50 interviews over the past year, PhoulBallz.com has brought readers an inside look at all the best known prospects such as Trevor May, Domonic Brown, Anthony Gose, BJ Rosenberg, Michael Taylor, Mike Stutes, Kyle Drabek and many more. In addition, readers have gotten Q&A's from Major League stars such as Pedro Martinez, JC Romero, Greg Dobbs, Clay Condrey and others too. To put it simply- PhoulBallz is like thong underwear....we're in there.

#2- This image of Jayson Werth as The Human Torch, brought to you by PhoulBallz.com. It's hot!

#3- Because former Phils pharm hand Jason Knapp and other Phillies minor leaguers wear PhoulBallz.com shirts.

#4- The Sunday School History Lessons that PhoulBallz.com brings readers each week. The past is one of the most important things about the sport of baseball. The heritage, the nostalgia, the frame work....they're all aspects of baseball that make it so appealing and fascinating. Phans today should know about all the players, coaches and team personnel that have impacted the Phillies franchise over the years. Sunday School articles have featured lessons on Eppa Rixey, Tony Taylor, Jack Sanford, Johnny Callison and plenty more under-acknowledged stars of the past. There just aren't many blogs that place importance on history the way this site does.

#5- PhoulBallz.com isn't exactly a prime news source, but the site has managed to deliver some breaking news....like the Phillies' misprint on Harry Kalas' Wall of Fame plaque and the brief, but comical, Brett Myers/Anthony Gose feud last season.

#6- Because the other guy is new to the Phillies' beat and, like, most people don't really know him, or some junk. I mean, vote for your friendly neighborhood PhoulBallz, who has been here, steadily, for a good long while. The other guy is temporary.

#7- Because P. Puffy Diddy Daddy wants you to....

#8- Because PhoulBallz.com kept its name the same, despite many ladies nicknaming the site "Dirty Dishes" due to their deep desire to always do us right after dessert.

#9- Because PhoulBallz.com brought you Jose Contreras' family tree.

#10-Because if PhoulBallz.com advances to the Sweet 16 of The Phield, 16 readers will win prizes from the site. No diggity, fo' shiggity.

**UPDATE** PhoulBallz.com was victorious in the 2nd round and has advanced into the SWEET 16 of The Phield tournament. Thanks so much for your support. The next round is Friday.

Crawford's Chronicles: JP Crawford talks Spring Training

JP Crawford, image- Jay Floyd Entering this year as the widely regarded top prospect in the Phillies organization, J.P. Crawford will be taking time each week to provide insight directly from inside spring training in Clearwater, FL, right here on PhilliesNation.com. Crawford, 20, was named the top positional prospect in two leagues (Class A South Atlantic League and Class A Advanced Florida State League) last year, when he combined, in 123 games, to post a .285 average, 11 homers, 48 RBI and 24 stolen bases. He also represented the Phils organization in the MLB All-Star Futures Game last season. As the 2015 campaign approaches, the six-foot-two 180-pound lefty batter is expected to reach the Double-A level and continue to prove why the Phillies selected him in the first round of the 2013 draft. In this initial installment of our weekly check-in with J.P., he shares thoughts on a variety of topics, including his exclusion from big league camp, which member of the big leagu...

Heroes- Fight of the Century

VS. It's a big day for your boy, Jay Ballz . No work, X-Men Origins: Wolverine premieres, our Phillies face the Metropolitans for the first time this season and tailgating for BOTH doesn't sound all that absurd to me. Anyway, I surveyed some qualified phans and got several opinions on how exactly a fight might go down if the mutant hero Wolverine faced off against Phillies hero Matt Stairs. Well known blogger, Chris, of I've Made a Huge Tiny Mistake , kept it real and said the following- "Wolverine has adamantium ( indestructible metal substance) claws, so that's a great advantage. Stairs' Wonder Bat is neutralized there. See, the problem becomes Wolverine's ability to recover (he has a regenerative power) faster. Stairs is merely human. Sure, he has a goatee, and goatees are great, but they're great for saving sauce, not for defeating mutants. I think Wolverine takes it in a fight to the death in about 15 minutes because Stairs simply doesn'...

Phreestyle Battle & Notes

Unrelated to baseball, really...but it's fun and our Phils are off today. This new kid on the hip hop scene, Charles Hamilton , whose single Brooklyn Girl is ripping up radio and video count downs, was at PSU for a performance recently. A freestyle battle ensued, and as you'll see, the Penn State student held his own. Stay tuned for the ending. It's the best part. Here are some random Phillies-in-idle baseball thoughts and notes- Colbert Hamels is slated to make his Grapefruit League debut tomorrow vs. Team Canada. Shane Victorino is going to wear #50 on his jersey for Team USA, a nod to Hawaii Five-O. Brad Lidge is likely to not see game action till next week, after he throws some more bullpen sessions and works out the tightness in his forearm. Albert Pujols is declaring "respect for his country" as reasoning for sitting out of the Cardinals' exhibition this week against Team Dominican Republic. He told reporters, "I don’t want to play against them...
