Phils 3B Prospect Maikel Franco Video Footage

Phillies third base prospect Maikel Franco has been tearing through the competition at multiple levels this year to the tune of a .322 average along with 21 home runs and 70 RBI through 92 combined games with Class A Advanced Clearwater and Double-A Reading.

The 20-year-old Dominican represented the Phils in the MLB Futures Games last week and is one of the organization's fastest rising prospects.

In reviewing some video clips I shot recently, when Reading visited Trenton, I pooled some footage of Maikel together and that video, featuring some batting practice and a fly out against Thunder hurler Zach Nuding, is in the media player below.

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?!
