Introducing the Phillies’ All-Quarter Century Team

We here at The Good Phight are a learned group. We read, we study, we remember a lot of things about baseball. We are steeped in history, knowing the good and the bad of the rosters the Phillies have put onto the artificial turf at Veterans Stadium and the green expanse of Citizens Bank Park.
You be the manager!

D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images On Sunday’s game, there were two streaks on the line. The first was the Phillies’ nine game win streak, one they had cultivated by beating up on the weaklings of the league. The other was A’s eleven game losing streak. Only one was eager for their streak to continue while the other was just as eager for it to end. In the ninth inning, the A’s were ahead 5-4 and had their closer on the mound.

Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images The Phillies and Braves begin their series tonight in Philadelphia, the first time Atlanta has visited the city this year. In game one, we get an answer to the question that has plagued many a Tolkein fan over the years: which is it - Ranger or Strider? On to the links. It’s never too early to start thinking about All-Star game representative. Which ones have the best case so far?
Three up, three down: Week of May 19-25

D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images Now that is what I call roadtrip. Going to Colorado and Sacramento and taking care of the business in front of them is the thing good teams do. There are times when unexpected lapses happen (ask the Dodgers about what happened when last they played the Angels), but good teams will usually beat bad teams. Good for the Phillies.

What do you think of the balanced schedule?

Photo by Scott Marshall/Getty Images Call me a baseball purist, but I do not like interleague play. Were I the commissioner for a week, the first thing that would go is interleague play. By this point, the novelty has worn off. Part of keeping the leagues separated was because of the DH, of course, but there was something cool about not seeing an American League team until either the All-Star Game or the World Series.

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Baseball schedules are weird. While it’s understandable that the Phillies aren’t playing today thanks to a long road trip coming back from the west coast, it’s still odd that on Memorial Day, the Phillies aren’t playing. Every team should be playing on Memorial Day and the schedule makers should see to that when they make the schedule early in the year. On to the links. Seems like that mound in Sacramento was quite the garbage one.
All good things must come to an end: A’s 5, Phillies 4

1 week ago | thegoodphight.com | Ethan Witte

D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images Listen, the streak was going to end eventually. The Phillies were not going to win out the rest of the season. Sunday, getaway day, after a long trip on the West coast made the most sense to chalk up a loss. Still, losing to a guy who is most famous for creating some kind of ignition switch with gum, a paper clip and knowhow is frustrating. The Phillies came into this one with one of their best pitchers on the “mound” in Sacramento.
Does it matter how teams win in baseball?

Dennis Lee-Imagn Images The Phillies have won nine games in a row and that should be a good thing. It should be celebrated as the solid accomplishment that it is; winning is hard. Winning a few in a row is hard, but winning these many games in a row is very hard to do. Yet there has been some ink spilled lately about who the Phillies are winning against. They’ve beaten up on team that are collectively not very good.
