Citizens Bank is more than just a bank.  It’s a blog, where you can go to have opinions, advice, and analysis chucked into your gut like a bag full of coins.  Coins, as we all know, are the “blunt instruments” of currency, and nobody wields them more accurately than The Citizens Bankers.  Jon makes up one half of the team over there; feel free to check him out or his cohort Pat on their site or via Twitter (@JNes12).  They pretty much define the term “righteous dudes.”  Today, Jon takes a look at something we fail to oblige quite often on TBOH:  the truth.

Where Do The Phillies Really Rank?

by Jon of The Citizens Bankers

What’s up, this is Jon from The Citizens Bankers. There are a few storylines in Spring Training this year. We have Chase Utley’s knee (Panic time), Domonic Brown’s magical fractured hand, and the emergence of Ben Francisco and John Mayberry Jr.

Oh yeah, and this.  Cliff Lee could literally have my future children. But that is another story. (more…)

Jimmy forgot to pack his catch phrase this year.  Which isn’t a criticism, I’m just saying, that doesn’t give the t-shirt people a lot to work with.

“We’ll win 100 games.  I really plan on going after, what is it, Seatlle won 114 [sic] or something. … We’ll go get somewhere hopefully in that range. But that requires everybody doing their job.”

…is great and all, but that’s not gonna fit on a women’s medium.

Anyways, the PLAN is to win over 114 games, but Jimmy says that he’ll settle for 100.  And as long as you have zero follow-up comments, yes, I think that makes Jimmy and I pretty close to an even keel.

Well... no, not in baseball ability.
