Team to Beat - Just Your Typical Phillies Blog

Team to Beat

It has a nice ring to it. That's the new name of the blog and will be officially changed before Sunday. "It's Outta Here" was the runner up idea that I had.

After this semester ends (Wednesday), I'll be looking into changing the face, name, and direction of the blog. I will have my final project posted by tomorrow. Here are the features of the new blog:

-New name.
-New background.
-New picture.
-Weekly recap posts: best game, weekly star which I'll try to keep track of throughout the season, etc.
-Monthly recap posts like the one I did for April.
-I'll try to speak with Justin and ask him to contribute a bit to my blog. I'll be linking to his quite often because I used to write for it.
-I'll also do some other stuff like important news in the team, division, and even around the league.

Here are some of my favorite posts from this past semester:
-Beating a Dead Horse: the verbal battle between the Phillies and Mets.
-Phillies Tailgate
-My 25-man roster prediction and official roster
-The March Madness: the champion will be announced tomorrow as well
-Anthony Medio interview
-Me vs. Mets fan
-Ring ceremony slide show
-Harry Kalas: 1936-2009

Change Is On Its Way...

As some of you may have known, this was a school project for since February. Well once this semester is over, I will NOT be shutting the blog down. Instead I will be changing it completely. I am unhappy with my decision to make it based off of the Rowan Phillies Fans. I know I could have done more and I will try and do more before the semester ends but when it does, I will go strictly to Phillies news, game stories, etc as a practice for my sports journalism endeavors.

Here is an outline for the last few weeks of the "Phillies Prof-ets" and a look at what will be in store for the future:

-I will throw out my pitch here for my final project by Tuesday. I don't know
what it will be yet but I hope it will actually gain the attention of a lot of
people.

-My goodbye post for the "Phillies Prof-ets" will include a reflection on the
old idea and the introduction of the new idea.

-I will be changing the
back ground, font, and lay out during the course of the summer to make the page
look better and less amateurish.

-And finally and most notably; I will
be changing the name to something more dynamic. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. Leave those as a comment or email them to me at spartanc63@yahoo.com and if I chose a
name sent to me, I will credit you in my introduction and elsewhere on the site.

Thank you and go Phils!
