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.

Harry Kalas Phorever...

By
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

By
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?!
