Homeward Bound

By

The Phillies are home! The Phillies are home! Starting Friday night, the Phillies will begin their annual two day On-deck Series that wraps up pre-season play and rings in a new year of baseball in Philadelphia.

The Phils will host Pittsburgh for two games, Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Cole Hamels will start on Friday evening for the Phils, while "Jay" Happ is slated to pitch on Saturday.


As expected, Kyle Kendrick will start in Joe Blanton's spot in the rotation as the Phillies open the 2010 season. Drew Carpenter has been called up to take Kendrick's spot in the bullpen.

A second round pick in the 2006 amateur draft, Carpenter appeared in 3 games with the Phillies last season, pitching 5 1/3 innings, walking 4, striking out 5, but he surrendered 7 earned runs. Carpenter also appeared in 1 game for the Phils in 2008, when he threw a scoreless inning.

Rappers in Phillies Caps

By
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?

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 gro
