Swing and a Miss: Comings & Goings

http://swingandmiss.blogspot.com/2015/06/comings-goings.html

Swing and a Miss. Thursday, June 18, 2015. We knew that we were not going to necessarily be challenging for the National League East title, but at the same time we need to see improvement and that's what we expect," GM Ruben Amaro said yesterday as the Phillies losing streak stretched to nine games and counting. Meanwhile, down on the field, the Phillies sink further into the basement. Word has it they have already discovered the sub-basement and plan to keep digging. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Swing and a Miss: Big Time Loser

http://swingandmiss.blogspot.com/2015/06/big-time-loser.html

Swing and a Miss. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. If the reports are true, Pete Rose's case for reinstatement to baseball fell apart yesterday. Of course Rose is presumed innocent until proven guilty, but let's face it, the guy is a pathological liar whose ability to come clean when confronted with damning facts is in inverse proportion to his ability to hit a baseball. If nothing else, the new information coupled with what was already known prove one things beyond a shadow of a doubt: Rose was a first class hit...

Swing and a Miss: Over And Out

http://swingandmiss.blogspot.com/2015/06/over-and-out.html

Swing and a Miss. Saturday, June 27, 2015. The other day I wrote this about Ryne Sandberg:. From the outside looking in Ryne Sandberg appeared to be a good man. That's basically a variation on the customary opening to a post-mortem when one is then going to write that someone was really way over his head or worse. Sandberg was really over his head as a manager. What I should have written is this:. Ryne Sandberg knew he was going to be fired. He just didn't know when. So, not acting in the best tr...

Phlog: Minor Show

http://phlogpa.blogspot.com/2010/05/minor-show.html

Monday, May 17, 2010. Spring time and baseball, perfect together; and what better time to mount a show of portraits of aspiring baseball players than the season in which hope if not actual prospects for success spring eternal? Gallery 339 is currently showing Andrea Modica's "Minor League", B&W photographs taken in the early 1990's of ballplayers in the Yankees' farm system. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Phlog: August 2015

http://phlogpa.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 04, 2015. A Triumph of Didacticism and Delectation. My first reaction to the news last year the Philadelphia Museum of Art would be mounting a major exhibition of the Impressionists this spring was that the last thing we need is another damn Impressionist show. I was wrong, terribly wrong. Discovering the Impressionists: Paul Durand-Ruel and the New Painting. Durand-Ruel would often visit an artist’s studio and buy 25 to 30 paintings or more on the spot. Needless to say, these p...Durand-...

Phlog: Grateful For Old Friends

http://phlogpa.blogspot.com/2010/04/grateful-for-old-friends.html

Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Grateful For Old Friends. Thoughts on an extended weekend in the museums and galleries of New York. Arrived in New York, checked into the hotel and went straight to the Morgan Library and Museum to see Palladio and his Legacy: A Transatlantic Journey. And Flemish Illuminations in the Era of Catherine of Cleves. Before departing we spend time examining the ongoing exhibition Masterworks from the Morgan: Near Eastern Seals. Up early to walk from our hotel in midtown to the Met....

Swing and a Miss: Fleeced

http://swingandmiss.blogspot.com/2015/07/so-long-cole.html

Swing and a Miss. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Cole Hamels is gone. He departed in a fashion as dramatic and timely as any exit in Philadelphia sports history. The question all along was not when but for whom. The answer is troubling. On first glance it appears to me Sam Hinkie was advising the Phils' alleged brain trust. The worst part of this deal is that the Phils did not demand let alone receive either of the Rangers' top prospects. Ruben Amaro's hand is written all over these non choices.

Swing and a Miss: Good Riddance

http://swingandmiss.blogspot.com/2015/07/good-riddance.html

Swing and a Miss. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. The morning after Jonathan Papelbon is traded you won't need to read his scathing comments about the atmosphere surrounding the current Phillies. He's already been quoted on the subject on numerous occasions. So, good riddance to you, Papelbon. No one is going to miss you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Class Acts Vs. Classless Acts.
