PNTV Interview: Lakewood Manager Mickey Morandini

This past week I had the opportunity to film some interviews for Phillies Nation TV at the Class A Lakewood BlueClaws' open practice and media day. Among those that I spoke with were former Phillies All-Star Mickey Morandini, who currently serves as Lakewood's manager.

As a player, Morandini helped lead the Phillies to the 1993 World Series and is now in charge of guiding the Phils of the future to the pinnacle of their sport.

In this uncut version of the interview, Morandini chats about Lakewood's young roster, what led him to coaching in the professional ranks, legendary Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas and more. See the full video in the media player below. To view this week's full episode of Phillies Nation TV, click HERE.

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?!
