Lazy Sunday
options
 

I'm glad today is Sunday.

The Eagles play today, which hopefully means we can stop talking about how Donovan McNabb didn't know the overtime rules. Things remain generally quiet on the Phillies' front. They're still working on a deal with Jamie Moyer. I believe a deal will happen at some point. It's just a matter of when. In other news, the premiere for Major League Baseball's “2008 World Series Film: Phillies vs Rays” is tomorrow night at The Bridge Cinema De Lux in Philadelphia.

I got an advanced copy of the DVD and let me say it is very, very impressive. I would say this is one thing fans will want to have.

The DVD goes on sale Tuesday.

You can go to a screening -- not necessarily the red carpet screening - by getting tickets at worldseries.com. The other screenings, which also are tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m., are at Bala Theatre 3 in Bala Cynwyd, Montgomeryville 10 in Landsdale, Showcase at the Ritz Center 16 in Vorhees and Anthony Wayne Theatre 5 in Wayne.

Oh, found this at The 700 Level. Somebody put together a video of every home run the Phillies hit in the postseason. I, too, would like somebody to put together a video with just the calls from Scott Franzke and Harry Kalas and no music, etc. Anybody game?

    Todd, you are absolutely right! I would pay good money for someone to put together a video or CD of Harry and Scott making calls. And how about a all-time Harry Kalas calls DVD or CD?

    Thanks Todd for not being lazy on this Sunday afternoon and giving us a tad bit of Phillies news. Very annoying music and couldn't agree more to get just Harry and Scott making the calls. As we found out in the postseason we have the BEST announcing team!!

    I didn't mind the music. Just way too LOUD!!! And ANY Phillies related video needs just Kalas/Franzke calls!

    All right, Zo. You brought up the Eagles. McNabb benched! Kolb in for the 2nd half. Regardless of the outcome of the game.....Good call, Andy.

    The music was fine- the Victorino grand slam against Sabathia seems so long ago, you forget how important it was to put a stranglehold on that series.

    NJLouis66....I was thinking the smae thing about Stairs' HR. I was at the last regular season game at CBp, when Matt hit a pinch hit HR. Immediately after Victorino hit one out! We all went nuts!!! I also can't get enough of seeing Joe Blanton's HR! Who'da thought?! LOL!

About Matt Gelb and Bob Brookover












Bob Brookover and Matt Gelb team up for their third straight season covering the Phillies for the Inquirer and philly.com.

This is Brookover’s second stint writing about the Phillies, having joined the coverage team after seven years as an Eagles beat writer. Brookover was hired by The Inquirer in 2000 as the Phillies beat writer after spending 13 years writing about the team for two suburban newspapers. While on the Eagles beat, Brookover, who had covered just two winning Phillies teams in 15 seasons, saw the Phillies move into a cash-cow new ballpark and begin playing a brand of the game he found unrecognizable. Follow him on Twitter here.

Gelb is in his third season covering the Phillies. He was hired by The Inquirer in August 2009 after graduating from Syracuse University. He has also covered baseball at The Star-Ledger and Cape Cod Times. Born and raised in Bucks County, he attended Central Bucks High School West. Follow him on Twitter here.
