Cliff Lee, MLB All-Star, Philadelphia Phillies, Stare of Death, July 16, 2013?

What did I miss? I did not see the beginning of the game as I was taking spin class. I did see Lee pitch in the 5th and the error.  All they are talking about on Sports Radio in Philly is the Eagles because baseball is dark. I went on my cousin Marjorie’s Facebook and she noted it.  So it was time for me to blog about it.

New York Yankees, New York Mets Fans, The joke is on you Suckers!  Yankee’s, Lee didn’t want you and the Met’s are @ the bottom of our division, I believe with the Marlins. Ha Ha!

MLB Philadelphia Phillies Pull Out Win 5-4 Against First Place Atlanta Braves, July 5, 2013.

My cousin Marjorie (another die-hard Phillies Fan) and I decided to do a mental health break and attend a Phillies game.  It was an unbelievable event as Howard took one deep when we were walking late into the Citizen’s Bank. Score was 5-0 in 5th. Then, the Braves started creeping back in the 7th as Lee was having a meltdown. 5-4, Oh no, as Marjorie and I started yelling to the field to our beloved Phillies. Papelbon ( the matador, For Whom the Bell Tolls) and Chooch came in  the 9th and closed down the first place chop chop tomahawk, Atlanta Braves.  ( I always despised that chant)

Praise the Lord for little things in life.

Hope still lies in the Phiilies as they have a long home stand before the All Star Break July 16, 2013 ( BTW, that day is my Birthday)

Excellent seats, great time.  Then we headed to Xfinity Live for Chickie and Pete’s famous Crab Fries.

Below are some photos from the game. Everyone likes their picture taken. ( even the Mets fan sitting with the girl next to us.  He was rooting for the Braves because he hates the Phils. But that was OK. )

All was well at the Ballpark last night.  The Girls (women) didn’t have their children with them. We could yell, yell and yell some more.  They tend to sublimate our limitless amount of energy.

Lee, Phils pick up crucial win over first-place Braves

Tug McGraw 1993 MLB All-Star Game Interview, Flashback

Posted in News by Donna, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 10, 2012| 4 Comments »

Tug McGraw, 1993 MLB All-Star Game interview for Channel 6, Actions News.  I was in research of past MLB All Star Games and came across our beloved Tugger. My heart broke, tears dwelled in my eyes. Tug McGraw was taken from us too early in 2004 and died of brain cancer. I remember he was down in spring training camp with the team and he started to have headaches, discovered was brain tumors in Clearwater, FL.

Tug McGraw was part of the World Series team for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980. Pitched the last ball as a closing pitcher against the KC Royals. The Phils were up 3-2 in the series. Tug pitched from the 7th to the 9th inning, unheard of in today’s specialized pitching rotation.

He is also was father of Country singer, Emmy award winner Tim McGraw.
