i mean who will win the world seris
| | A. | During the off-season, All-Star second baseman Chase Utley signed a 7-year, $85 million contract extension that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2013. Also signed to a long-term contract was starting pitcher Brett Myers. He was signed to a three-year, $25.75-million deal which bought out his remaining two-years of arbitration and one year of free agency. In addition, the Phillies renewed the contract of first baseman Ryan Howard to a deal of one year, $900,000 deal, the most ever offered to a player not eligible for salary arbitration.
The Phillies began the 2007 season with a home-opening 5-3 loss on April 2 to the Atlanta Braves after 10 innings. After the first fifteen games the Phillies limped to a 4-11 record, but then found a five game winning streak to put them back into contention in the National League East. After 40 games, the Phillies finally reached the .500 mark at, 20-20.
The starting lineup for the 2007 season opening was as follows: Rod Barajas (C), Ryan Howard (1B), Chase Utley (2B), Wes Helms (3B), Jimmy Rollins (SS), Pat Burrell (LF), Aaron Rowand (CF), Shane Victorino (RF), Freddy Garcia (SP), Brett Myers (SP), Cole Hamels (SP), Adam Eaton (SP), Jamie Moyer (SP), and Tom Gordon (CL). Carlos Ruíz has taken over the starting role from Barajas, mainly through his ability to deliver more offensive power. Third base has also become a platoon position due to the emergence of IF/OF Greg Dobbs, who gained regular playing time during Howard's trip to the disabled list and has regularly contributed at third and in left field since that time.
On April 18, Brett Myers was moved to the bullpen and Jon Lieber replaced him in the starting rotation. Myers supplanted Tom Gordon as the Phillies' closer before being placed on the disabled list himself.
Heading into the All-Star break the Phillies split their win/loss record at 44-44, and have been hampered by the loss of starting pitchers Freddy Garcia and Jon Lieber due to injuries which will sideline them for the remainder of the season. They have, however, found a bright spot in young pitcher Kyle Kendrick.
Three Phillies were named to the 2007 All Star Game in San Francisco, CA. Chase Utley was the starting second baseman for the National League squad and center fielder Aaron Rowand was named as a backup (his first All Star appearance). Starting pitcher Cole Hamels also appeared in his first All Star Game.
Ryan Howard was invited back to defend his title and participate in the 2007 Home Run Derby. Howard won the contest in 2006, but did not make it out of the first round in 2007.
On July 15, 2007, the Phillies lost their 10,000th game, 10-2 to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Phillies became the first North American professional sports franchise to lose 10,000 games.
In a July 17 game in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, the Phillies recorded 26 hits, 1 hit short of the franchise record.
In a July 27 game against the Washington Nationals, pitcher John Lannan hit Chase Utley in the hand with a pitch, breaking it. In response, the Phillies acquired Tadahito Iguchi from the White Sox.
The Phillies lead the National League in runs scored. Jimmy Rollins currently holds that distiction as an individual, with Ryan Howard leading the league lead in RBIs. Utley and Rollins also lead the league in total bases, Utley first, Rollins second.
So...No. | | | |
| Q. | Is October 13th too early to have a little Halloween party? | Related Search:
Toddler & Preschooler | | | I'm planning on throwing a little Halloween party for my 2 year old and his playgroup friends and didn't want to do it the weekend before Halloween b/c of all the fun events going on and my best friend and her kids can't make it the 20th of October (I really want her there) so that leaves the 13th. But, is it odd to throw a Halloween party that early? I'm just planning on having the kids wear costumes, play a few games (whatever 2 year olds can do), have lunch and pass out treats. Thanks for any responses.
| | A. | I love, love, love halloween and I think having the party on the 13th is perfectly fine. The kids are too young to really notice and how fun for them getting to celebrate it twice. Enjoy | | | |
| Q. | What do you recommend to celebrate 6th October day? | Related Search:
Egypt | | | I like to celebrate the 6th October day, what do you recommend for that day. I have seen almost all military museums in Cairo and the Panorama 6 th October. Any new ideas even if it's simple ?
Nada : I thought about the same idea, but it's not always possible.
| | A. | i suggest that we pray two rak3at as rahhma for the lost ones.
then we can pray that their souls go to Heaven as God has promised .
it will be gesture of gratitude on our part to those who lost their lives in battle.
those who were injured , and those who participated and werent injured will get their share in our prayers when we wish them to enjoy God's blessings on earth and in Heaven.
i personally will try to go out after these prayers to avoid watching RUD QALBY bec im fed up with it and need to see something else.
going to the 6th Oct Panorama would be impossible bec it might be too crowded . | | | |
| Q. | What is the average temperature in Florida in October? | Related Search:
Other - United States | | | I may be planning a trip to Florida on the 2nd week of October. What is the temperature like there that month? October is the only time my husband can get off for vacation and I would like to go to the beach but I want to go somewhere not so cold.
Thanks!
I am not sure what part of Florida we will be going to. I know we're not going all the way down to Miami. That would just take way too long. I need to get a map out and figure out where I want to go.
| | A. | Hi, I am from West Palm Beach. It is usually about 70 to 75 here that time of year. The water at the beach is a bit chilly for swimming but you will enjoy getting a tan here.
Enjoy your trip and have a wonderful time | | | |
| Q. | How are the road conditions in October driving From Fairbanks, Alaska to lower 48? | Related Search:
Other - United States | | | We plan on driving out of Alaska to the lower 48 in the month of October. What are the road conditions like and how do we find information to help us plan our trip?
| | A. | I did the Canadian portion of the Alaska Hwy in March and would say that it was probably considerably worse than what they are going to be in October since the roads had a winters worth of snow. October would be amazing with the fall colors and you might hit some snow in at some of the summits in Canada, but as for the Alaskan portion of the AK hwy, its pretty flat until about an hour outside of the Canadian border. There is a nice straight stretch between Delta Junction and Tok. But the one thing that I've always liked about travelling the AK hwy any time of year, is that people are considerate and will stop if it looks like you are having trouble. Plus now there is cell service for a good portion of the road. The worst parts of the hwy are between Watson Lake, Yukon and Fort Nelson, BC. There are two tricky spots, Muncho Lake and Stone Mountain. If you overnight in Whitehorse, just leave early so you are sure to hit those two spots during daylight. I did them at night and it had started to snow and I was by myself in a car with no snow tires. I made it through fine, but as long as you prepare for your trip better than I did, you'll be fine.
For road conditions on the Alaska Hwy call 1877-456-ROAD. Also I'd advise to get a copy of the Milepost. It will help you find services that will be open in the off season if you needed it. Oh and fill up the car in Toad River. Its the last gas station for a while.
But one suggestion that I would make is that if you were thinking of taking the Cassiar Hwy out of the Yukon in to Central BC, I would advise against it. Cassiar is much more isolated and it would be harder to get help if needed. Plus its not paved all the way.
This info will at least get you out of the toughest part of the drive. From there I always have headed east to Edmonton, so I'm not sure about the road conditions for southern BC. But if you're headed into Alberta at all...its flat. And you'll be fine. | | | |
| Q. | Where should I go for my October honeymoon? | Related Search:
Other - Destinations | | | Hi,
I am getting married next October - the 5th. We are trying to decide where to go for our honeymoon. We were originally planning to go to Europe but as we are only going to have 2-3 weeks I just don't think there is enough time - that will have to be our next holiday.
So we are looking at an island honeymoon. I wanted to go to Thailand but we would be going in the wet season which wouldn't make it much fun.
We live in Sydney so don't want it to be anywhere too far away.. Definitely overseas but preferably not the other side of the world.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
| | A. | Caribbeans? Hmm but you live in Sydney... | | | |
| Q. | What season would it be on October to December in Washington DC? | Related Search:
Other - United States | | | Im planning to travel to Washington DC on October to December and since its my first time. I would like to know what season, so I know what to pack. Thankyou for your honesty.
| | A. | It's Autumn here. October will be beautiful - temps in the 60s (farenheit) some rain but not much. Actually October is one of the most beautiful times of the year in this area. There will be days when you can still wear shorts, and not terribly much rain, plus the trees change colors the end of the month and are beautiful.
November will be chillier but still not terrible - you can do a lot outdoors. A little more rain. Great time of year to check out the wineries in the Virginia countryside.
December begins edging into winter, and it will begin to get cold, but there is a relatively low chance of snow - we're not truly in winter until January.
Your trip is during a time when the weather changes constantly. You'll experience temps from the 70s to the 30s - your best bet for packing is lots of layers!
The good news is that this is the best time in my opinion to be in town. There are not zillions of tourists at all the attractions, you will find even the Air and Space Museum to be enjoyable (it's the most visited museum in the world.) Even if you are not here for the sights, take some time to see them. | | | |
