I am just one man...

By
Occasionally, I hear from people who say things like, "You guys do a really good job (at PhoulBallz.com)!"  I met some people on Sunday at the Reading game in Trenton that were very complimentary of this site and they asserted that same sentiment.  I heard from well-known, and retired, Philadelphia sports columnist Bill Conlin with such a message a few months back.  The usual e-mail from a player's family or ex-teammate typically states that sort of thought.  And now I see a post from SoundofPhilly addressing me as "gentlemen".

World, I assure you that I am a lone man.  Of course, the PhoulBallz Podcast has a co-host and producer named Tug Haines, but this site's daily written content is served up by just me.

Compliments and plugs for this site are truly appreciated, but, in case there's extensive confusion, misconceptions or just bad assumptions made, I wish to state, once and for all, what you read here is posted by me, Reverend Ballz, AKA the Pale Prospect Professional, AKA Jason H. Ballzino, AKA the Methodical Minors Master, AKA Daz Diligence, AKA Jay Floyd.

Okay, I suppose offering up no less than five alternate names for myself, as though I am a member of the Wu Tang Clan, was not the best way to assert the whole solo identity concept, but, hopefully, you'll all understand what I'm saying.

Thanks to you, for the support over the years.  I thoroughly enjoy being a guy folks can rely on for inside access to the minor leagues and more.

This Guy Speaks For All of You

By
This individual, interviewed by FOX 29 on Friday as the Phillies arrived back at Citizens Bank Park, said it best. When asked how he felt regarding the Phillies, he told Steve Keeley that he was, "Stoked, baby!" The unidentified phanatic then proclaimed, "We are talking about the Fightins here, the Fightins! Said!" Check out the media player below, as the transcribed version certainly does not do this phireball of phandom justice. The Phillies forced game 6 of the National League Championship Series with a 4-2 victory over the Giants in San Francisco on Thursday night. Game 6 will feature Roy Oswalt vs. Jonathan Sanchez in a return pitching match up from game 2. First pitch is scheduled for 7:57 pm EST at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Be sure to tune in on 97.3 ESPN's Weekend Sports Guide with Tyrone Johnson this afternoon around 1:15pm to hear me chatting about the Phillies! 97.3 is based in Atlantic City.

McGwire Stays Phony, Despite Admitting Drug Use

By
Mark McGwire made an effort to publicly come clean today, admitting to the world that he took performance enhancing drugs during his playing career. Steroids and human growth hormones were among the drugs that McGwire admitted to using. MLB Network featured a one on one interview with Bob Costas and McGwire on Monday evening. The broadcast was virtually garbage, thanks to McGwire. Ahead is a list of quotes from McGwire's interview. McGwire repeatedly stated his point of view that there were no dishonorable intentions involved when taking steroids, and that he was merely using them as a means to recover from varying ailments. When asked if he felt like he cheated... "As I look back now...I can see how people would say that. As far as the talent goes and the hand-eye coordination, the ability, the genetics I was given...I don't see it." "I did not take this for any strength purposes." Denial. Read on for similar B.S. He whined about the abuse he'

18-inning Marathon Results in Early Return For Doc

By
Righty hurler Roy Halladay , who was slated to appear in another rehab outing for Double-A Reading on Sunday will return to the big league club instead, following a marathon of baseball Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park. In Saturday night's (Sunday morning's?) 12-7 defeat at the hands of the Diamondbacks, the Phillies sent nine pitchers and two position players to the mound to make it through the lengthy affair. Starter Ethan Martin could not escape the opening frame, as he allowed three hits, three walks and three earned runs. Over the 4 2/3 innings that followed, Luis Garcia and Zach Miner allowed a combined four earned runs. The remainder of the relief corps including Cesar Jimenez , Justin De Fratus , Jonathan Papelbon , Jake Diekman and B.J Rosenberg combined for 6 2/3 scoreless innings while Sunday's originally scheduled starter Tyler Cloyd was called upon to toss five scoreless frames. As the need to use Cloyd approached, the Phillies d
