Phillies

Will Juan Pierre's leadoff efforts go well? It would be great if they do, as the Phillies surely could use an extra OBP numbers that they can get.

Will Thome be the first Phillie to go deep?

Will Cliff Lee be traded if the Phillies re-sign Cole Hamels for money reasons? Think that can't happen?
Really?

Play ball!

Baseball cards

For those of us who are old enough to remember when baseball cards were king
When Baseball Cards were King this week is always a special time of year.

The opening of any new season was always previewed by Topps newest edition of cards. Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of cardboard gold never truly fade away.

Flyers notes + Phillies hot stove speculation

TY to over ---850,000 readers--- of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11.http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html


Flyers - 


The Flyers have a winning record and have the top offense in the NHL. But, they have also played erratically.

It is difficult to imagine that a team that rebuilt 1/2 of it's team could seriously contend for the Stanley Cup this season.

As fans, with reality in mind, hoping for a winning season, a playoff berth and a respectable showing in next spring's playoffs would be progress.

Phillies - 


With Jim Thome back in the fold, other additions can be expected within the next few months.

Drip by drip, or within a few big flashes, everyone will know just how different the 2012 squad will be then the 2011 one.

If the Phillies want to contend for a World Series championship, they will need to add a number of offensive parts to the overall lineup/bench.

Flyers wrinkle the Jackets & Thome speaks about Cuddyer

TY to over ---840,000 readers--- of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11.http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html



Flyers - 


The Flyers crushing defeat of a weakened Blue Jackets team had as much to do with the Columbus' talent level and vast number of injuries, as it did Philadelphia's potent offense.

Teams like Columbus, who has the lowest point total in the NHL, don't come along every day.


Phillies - 


Renewed Phillie Jim Thome was asked about his former Twins' teammate Michael Cuddyer (an outfielder/infielder) at his press conference.

Based on a lot of earlier reporting of the Phillies summer interest in both Thome and Cuddyer, it would not be surprising if the team is also able to reach an agreement with him.

Thome Part 2 & Flyers notes

TY to over ---840,000 readers--- of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11.http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html


Phillies - 


Jim Thome adds character and class to the Phillies locker room.

He has enough left in his bat to pop some home runs when he occasionally starts and when he pinch hits.

This is a cool reunion story that has the ability to play out very well.

Flyers - 


Jeff Carter sat in the press box due to his injury during the Flyers 9-2 win over his Blue Jackets team.

He had to be wondering how many years he was going to be stuck in hockey purgatory.

I wonder if he will eventually be traded elsewhere, if he doesn't produce as well as expected?

Jim Thome stars in the Phillies produced Cliff Lee sequel

TY to over ---830,000 readers--- of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11.http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html


Phillies - 


Jim Thome signing is a nice move to add a power bat and an old friend.

Very cool to see him want to come back and for them to want him back.

Certainly not in the Cliff Lee return category, in terms of what he can do on the field for the team. But, his character and ability to hit some home runs should help the team.

A feel good story for sure.

What will Jim Thome's place in baseball history be?


TY to over 600,000 readers of my Yahoo Sports articles since 2/1/11. http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html

Jim Thome - This post is devoted to gentleman Jim Thome.

As a Phillies fan, I was thrilled when the team inked him to a big deal before the start of the 2003 season. It was electrifying to know that the watershed signing meant so much more than the addition of a great slugger.
It was the dawning of a new Phillies age that has come to be.

Thome's importance in that transitional time was meant to help close out the Vet and pave the path to Citizens Bank Park.

I remember the game Harry the K called his 400th home run with zestful excitement.

I also remember that the emergence of Ryan Howard meant that Thome had to be dealt. Pat Gillick's decision to do so after the 2005 season, also helped to move the franchise forward.

On the occasion of  your 600th home run, we the members of baseball nation salute you Jim. You are a class act. The Hall of Fame will be graced by your future presence.
