I've only been in the press box for about 15 minutes and I've already heard the words "World Series preview" at least twice as we gear up for Phillies-Red Sox tonight at Citizens Bank Park.

Fair enough, but the Phils surely didn't look like a World Series team in the last two days... at least in what I saw of the games. This blog has been dormant over the weekend since I was in a wedding out of town (and New Orleans is a great place to escape the baseball beat for a few days).

Sorry for the lack of an advanced warning.

More to come later... right now it's time to trek down to the clubhouse.

Oh, as for news.... Juan Samuel was announced today as this year's recipient of Phillies Wall of Fame honors.
