A cheap Santa, a smowstorm, and a terrible football team, lead to the infamous snowball incident. Ledgend has it that it all started as a dare, when, a then lawyer, dared someone in the stands, that he couldn't hit Santa with a snowball. The lawyer is now PA Govenor Ed Rendell. I can't verify that Rendell did start it, but that is the folklore.

No, Rendell was responsible for snowballs being thrown at Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson.

Yeah, Howard's pretty good.

4th deck homers are easy

mlyons · 06-21-2006, 12:12 AM

Especially fourth deck homers followed by opposite-field homers followed by triples.

What really pisses me off is that I was at Monday night's game, and he didn't play.

mmmmm ryan howard mmmmmmm

Gastric ReFlux · 06-21-2006, 09:04 AM

Howard crushed that upper deck shot. Yowsers.

marc · 07-11-2006, 02:47 AM

Boooooooooooo Yahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! *****es!!!!!

Yikes, Home Run King comes with two homers in two games after the all-star break. And he barely missed one in the first inning of this game as well.

marc · 07-16-2006, 09:31 AM

Good god that HR last night was absolutely destroyed.

Gastric ReFlux · 08-26-2006, 08:20 PM

Down 0-2, bases loaded, 2 outs, KAH-BOOM!

Perez gave him a lollipop. Howard just punishes any mistake and he's really locked in. I think it was a couple of weeks ago that Howard and Beltran were tied with 96 RBIs. Beltran has 108 and Howard has over 120. Wow.

Gastric ReFlux · 09-08-2006, 09:41 PM

This guy is getting scary good at hitting homers. 7 in the first 8 games of September, 13 in the last 16 games.

magnet · 09-08-2006, 09:42 PM

What's the over/under on his ending HR total for 2006?

He's projected for 65.

I'll go with the over on that one.

He's definitely a monster hitter. Are the Phillies just idiots for not giving him a shot until he was 25 years old, or did he have some sort of developmental leap where everything started clicking? I get amazed every so often at how good he is this early in his career, and then I remember he's almost 27 already.

Gastric ReFlux · 09-09-2006, 09:12 AM

I'm trying to remember, it was either 2003 or 2004 that Howard began putting up monster numbers while playing at Reading in AA ball. Which began getting him notice, but with the caveat of how much Howard strikes out. I remember last season, while Howard was still down in AAA at Scranton, he was putting up amazing numbers but I was wondering if he could continue to hit while striking out so much.

It seems he can.

Gastric ReFlux · 09-09-2006, 09:14 AM

It was 2004 that Ryan Howard started having his breakout with Reading. He hit 37 homeruns and set the new team record there.
