The National League announced its MVP for the 2008 season and his name is Albert Pujols. Not terribly surprising, we knew it would be between Pujols and Philly’s Ryan Howard. In the end, however, baseball writers don’t like it when a guy strikes out 200 times and plays shaky defense. That said, the Phillies don’t [...]

Philadelphia was ready to celebrate their first championship in 25 years on Monday night. The table was set with their ace on the mound and a 3-1 series lead. Then the winds and rains came, suspending not only the game, but a party and celebration only the Philadelphia faithful could host. The snow and [...]
