This week’s Good Chair Award goes to a man whose name is practically stitched into the seams of Delco baseball — Dave Jerdon, manager of the Upper Darby Blue Sox. Why Dave? Because Dave Dombrowski didn’t do enough, in my opinion. The Phillies don’t have anyone hot enough to put in the Good C...

Let me say this up front: I one million percent believe the Philadelphia Eagles should build a dome.Not a maybe. Not a “one day.” Not a “wouldn’t that be nice.” I’m talking shovels in the dirt, blueprints drawn, roof on the rise. And while we’re at it — no, not a fixed roof. I’m ta...

The Savannah Bananas Took Over Philly — But Did They Deliver the Moment We Wanted?Note from the author: I didn’t attend either show at Citizens Bank Park this past weekend. I watched the ESPN broadcast, soaked in the social media highlights, and followed the buzz around Philly. This isn’t a pl...

Every now and then, a player gets so red-hot, so locked in, so terrifyingly dialed, that it stops being baseball and starts feeling like someone put in the cheat codes on the Playstation 2. You can forget “Player of the Week.” that title is for amateurs. The Good Chair recipient this week is…....

Philly didn’t just get a schedule this year. Nah. What the NFL handed the Eagles was more of a gauntlet. A 17-week obstacle course filled with landmines, coast-to-coast flights, five primetime matchups, two holiday spotlights, and — oh yeah — not a single back-to-back home stand all season. Wh...

“A weird one, to say the least.” Jarren Duran wasted no time making a statement, launching a leadoff homer in the first — practically waving at Dave Dombrowski like, “Look what I can do in my potential new home!” The audition started strong… but faded fast. After that bomb, Duran struck ...

The Phillies’ Answer in the Outfield? It’s Jarren Duran — Or Luis Robert Jr. — Not Byron Buxton The Phillies have a lot going for them in 2025. They’ve battled through injuries, stayed near the top of the NL, and leaned on a deep rotation to survive tough stretches. But if you’ve been wa...

Our Good Chair Nominee!

SHANE GILLIS is our Good Chair Nominee this week! Let’s just get this out of the way — if you’re clutching your pearls over Shane Gillis’ ESPYS monologue, you probably weren’t the target audience. Yeah, some are saying his opening “bombed.” And in the room? Sure, maybe it did. Pack a r...

If you’re still out here thinking Major League Baseball isn’t in the business of writing a script, last night probably changed your mind. Let’s be honest — the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby have been teetering on the edge of “who cares” for a while now. The fans have been asking for i...
