Welcome

Hello, and my welcome to Haddad's Corner. My name is Phil Haddad a free lance reporter for a local newspaper company, and I also do some free lance writing for WZARTV an internet tv news station. Some of my blogs will be funny, and after a while, you'll get to know my sense of humor. Some of my blogs may be serious, and the topics will be sports related but could be a bit touchy in topics. I will try to get something up once a week but if I have the time I will try to get more than that up.

We are in the month of March and that means a couple of things. Spring is right around the corner, and yes baseball is FINALLY HERE. The Boyertown High School team will start with their first league game next week against Lansdale Catholic. Boyertown is looking to win their fifth straight PAC-10 title a feat that has never been accomplished since the PAC-10's inception in the mid 1980s. Todd Moyer is a very good coach, who gets the most out of his players. Boyertown may not have superstars, BUT they believe in the system and do what the coaches tell them. That is the main reason why Boyertown has such a strong baseball program year in and year out.

The Phillies are looking to defend their National League East but the other teams in their division will be looking to knock them off of the top of the mountain. They are also looking to return to the N.L.C.S. but I still think they have some holes in their pitching rotation, and general manager Pat Gillick did nothing to fix the problem. So far this spring Adam Eaton has done NOTHING to prove that he deserves to be in the starting rotation. He's been shelled his last couple of starts during spring training, and they need to do something before the start of the regular season.

My other problem with the Phillies is Uncle Charlie, Charlie Befuddled AKA Charlie Mannaul. The guy can't speak to the media to save his life, and has cost them games due to poor coaching decision. They got as far as they did, despite having Charlie Mannaul coach them not because of them. Every year they get off to a slow start, which most years costs them the playoffs. Last year they played well late in the year, and the Mets blew their lead and gave it away. Gee, it couldn't have happened to a nicer team.


The other thing it means is "March Madness" the most wonderful time of the year if you are a college basketball fan. The field of 64 is set and over the next couple of weeks, there will be the upsets but that's the beauty of March Madness. Seeing a 12 seed beating a 5 seed, or seeing the 13 seed beating the 4 seed or even seeing the 11, 12 or 13 seed like George Mason a few years ago make the Cinderella run to the elite 8. Without question, I will be glued to my television like most college basketball fans watching all the PTPERs the DIAPER Dandys BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all for now
