Howell then struck out Utley. With Ryan Howard at the plate, Werth danced off second and was picked off by Howell. The play temporarily sucked the life out of the ballpark. Howell then struck...

HIS VOICE scratched out words the way he scratched out his name into Phillies folklore. Jayson Werth was out there so much over the 3 days it took for this game to be completed that he caught a nasty cold, a cold that matched his voice to those Muppet looks of his, but a cold that could not stop his momentum.

First fo all,,, GET A LIFE!!!! Jayson Werth is a talented ball player. He can play right,left and center feild with confidence, He can hit well and run with speeds that only few can compare!!! Oh and he steals bases with attempt/succcess rates that are up to par with the Best in the game. I also might add that the few times I have seen him interviewed, he has been VERY humble, even when...

... be a great value for a 2-3 year deal. If we choose to let him go, Ruben Gillick can find another Jayson Werth clone in Rocco Baldelli or some other lefty masher to complement the lefty triumvirate, and we won’t miss a beat. Strangely enough, this player will have been in the Seattle or Baltimore organization, and somehow they let him go thinking he’s not good enough for their teams....

Shane Victorino Review: Does anybody remember when Victorino lost his starting job to Jayson Werth back in May? I do and six months later it was still a dumb move. I’ll admit, I’m a little biased when it comes to critiquing Vic. Aside from Pat Burrell, he may be my favorite Phillie. I have been adamant in my support for Vic since he came to Philly, so every solid season he has makes me...

... by flying out to leftfield. That’s when it all began to unravel for Sabathia and the Brewers. Jayson Werth followed things up with a double, then Pedro Feliz added one of his own to score Werth. Carlos Ruiz grounded out, advancing Feliz to third. Brett Myers and Rollins both walked, and then Victorino shredded the little bit of confidence that Sabathia had left by hitting a...
