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.

Kendrick & LaGrossa- Second Phils/Survivor Marriage

On Saturday, Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick married 3-time Survivor contestant and former Flyers employee Stephenie LaGrossa. The couple exchanged vows in front of 105 guests at the Silverado Resort in Napa, California. Their special day featured many personalized aspects, including cocktail hour snacks modeled in the fashion of mini Philly cheesesteaks, as well as the couple's two dogs, Bebe and Champ, serving as flower girl and ring bearer during the ceremony. The pets wore a white dress and a tuxedo, respectively. Kendrick is now the second Phillies pitcher to marry a former contestant of the CBS reality competition program, as lefty Cole Hamels wedded Heidi Strobel, who appeared on the sixth season of Survivor, in 2007. _________________________________________________________________ Be sure to follow PhoulBallz.com on Twitter, for updates, stats and info, by clicking HERE .

Michael Taylor Q&A

Michael Taylor is currently leading the Reading Phillies' offense and is near the top of the Eastern League in most stat categories (3rd in batting avg- .342, 3rd in HR- 14, tied for second in RBI- 55, 2nd in OPS.- .994, tied for 1st in runs scored- 49, tied for 1st in hits...). The 23 year old Taylor is 6 feet 6 inches tall and has quickly grabbed the attention of phans and media alike as a top prospect to watch. I spoke with Mike Taylor over the weekend, and here is that interview. With all the big stats and being among the league leaders in so many categories, do you think you're ready for the next step? It's kind of a difficult question. Do you have anything left to prove here? There's always something to prove. There's stuff to prove every game. I mean that's one thing that's very interesting about this game. It's such a numbers oriented game. You're only as good as your last "whatever statistical category that someone's valuing". ...

Mixed Feelings: De Fratus Expresses Himself

It was a wild and frenzied finish for several teams as the regular season wound down. While some clubs faltered, seeing their seasons come to an end, others triumphed and advanced to the playoffs. Whether it was a collapse or a significant comeback, countless states of mind resulted from the memorable final weeks of the season. Exhilaration, disappointment, confusion, hysteria and disgust could all be used to detail how players and fans all around baseball felt. For one young player, that list of feelings varies a bit but is likely just as long when describing his big league debut and the subsequent two weeks. EXCITEMENT Rookie hurler Justin De Fratus , who just two years ago was a member of the Class A Lakewood BlueClaws South Atlantic League championship team, pitched a scoreless 12th inning to not only notch his very first big league victory, but to put his name in the history books, as the Phillies won their franchise record 102nd game. De Fratus found himself the pitcher of re...
