It’s almost baseball time, which means I’ll be working on coming out with more Phillies Wallpapers.  I’ve added some widescreen versions of some Chase Utley Wallpapers.  My all new editions are Cole Hamels and Brad Lidge.  I owe it to them after an amazing 2008.  May 2009 bring the same success.  I guess I should also announce that I’ve added a calendar to the right navigation bar if you ever want to navigate our archives.  Enjoy the wallpapers.  I’m going to be working on a Jason Werth and more Shane Victorino wallpapers soon.

The Phillies have locked up Ryan Howard for 3 years.  The price tags: $54 million.  This comes from the Philadelphia Inquirer:

The Phillies today agreed on a three-year, $54 million contract with slugger Ryan Howard, a source close to the situation told The Inquirer.

Great news in addition to locking up Cole Hamels for 3 years, $20.5 million, which happened just weeks ago.

It’s something that we’ve been waiting for since 1983.  After 25 years, a championship is back in Philadelphia.  Good bye Curse of William Penn.  Thank you Philadelphia Phillies.

It’s unmistakable that every man on the Phillies roster, every man, has stepped up huge at some point this post-season.  It’s impossible to give the MVP to any one player. Congratulations to Cole Hamels though: you deserve it.  Without a doubt, this World Series was a complete team effort.
