Philadelphia Phillies Fan Picks The Wrong Nationals Fan to Mess With

Any shred of an inkling I ever had about wondering what would happen to me if I vomited on an off-duty cop is officially gone.

Gone like Matthew Clemmens’ dignity.

Clemmens, the 21-year-old New Jersey man who was arrested on April 14 at a Phillies game, pleaded guilty Tuesday to simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment.

New York Yankees: 10 Worst Moments In Club's History

There have been plenty of great moments in Yankees history.

If you think otherwise, http://bleacherreport.com/articles/394107-giddy-up-the-21-greatest-momen..., check that out, and then get back to me.

But believe it or not, the Yankees have experienced a handful of heartbreaking and disappointing moments as well.

And yes, I have lived through some of them.

Before I present the 10 Worst Moments In New York Yankees history, here are some honorable mentions:

1) In Game 6 of the 2003 World Series, Josh Beckett pitches a five-hitter at Yankee Stadium, striking out n

New York Mets Run Out of Humans to Humiliate; Move on to Dogs

What can we say, we get a cheap laugh from dogs that are humiliated in MLB attire.  Hey, who isn’t?

Thus, we giggled like a school girl when the following picture appeared in our Inbox this past weekend.

A Brief History of Left-Handed Hitting in Philadelphia

In 2010, the Philadelphia Phillies fully anticipate making the playoffs for the fourth straight year, and for many Philadelphians anything less than a World Series appearance would be a disappointment.

The Phillies have gotten to this point, in part, on the basis of the best left-handed hitting in the National League.

There was a time, however, when dominant left-handed hitting by the Philadelphia Phillies was incredibly deceptive and actually masked severe deficiencies in the Phillies' lineup.

MLB Fantasy Power Rankings for May 24th

1.(↑1) Tampa Bay Rays (32-12)

The Rays are an impressive 19-5 on the road, and have won 8 of their last 10. The most impressive thing about the Rays this year however, is their pitching.

This week they scored a ridiculous 140 points while only falling out of the top four in strikeouts. They have a 2.87 team ERA and a 1.17 team WHIP—mix that with the fact that they lead the league in stolen bases (51) and they have to be the favorites to win it all right now.

 

Fantasy Baseball: Don't Nap on Mike Napoli of the Los Angeles Angels

This is the time of year, with nearly a third of the season complete, when you start cutting the guys not producing.

Here's looking at you, Carlos Quentin, Gordon Beckham, and Aramis Ramirez.

Sometimes fantasy owners can't afford to be patient with some of these guys.

Why not add a red-hot slugger like David Ortiz or Jose Bautista?

You have to ride hot streaks, because once their streaks end they aren't as intriguing. It might be hard to part with hype machines like Beckham, but it's necessary if you want to win.

Mets in Solid Shape: Leave The Roster Alone Omar

The New York Mets are within striking distance of the Phillies, and there's no doubt that they have a chance to make a run at the wild card.

But one thing that can really kill the Mets is their General Manager Omar Minaya, not that he hasn't already done so.

Minaya is desperate to keep his job, and the future of the franchise is in jeopardy if he decides to make another typical Minaya move, trading the best prospects for an older pitcher to help the Mets improve from a slightly better than .500 team to a wild card contender.

New York's Curtis Granderson Back on Friday

Brian Cashman spoke with reporters yesterday and announced that the Yankees plan to activate center fielder Curtis Gr

Phillies Phestival a 'Phantastic' Success

It's events such as these that proves my frustration towards Philly fan haters is justified. To those who may complain that Philly inhabitants are rude, reckless, and front-runners, read on.

Phillies fans proved they're just as phanatic as ever at the 26th annual Phillies Phestival Monday night. Over 7,000 fans, the most in phestival history, showed up to Citizen's Bank Park for the sold out event which raises money for the ALS Association for the fight again Lou Gehrig's disease.

First Act: NL East Foes Florida Marlins, Atlanta Braves to Finally Meet

In late September the Atlanta Braves lost two of the three to the visiting Florida Marlins to close out the regular season.

By then, the Philadelphia Phillies had already closed out the National League East division and the battle at Turner Field was for second place.

Fast forward eight months later.

The two teams are a half game apart in the standings and will once again face each other Tuesday night at Sun Life Stadium.
