Gabe Kapler press conference today

The Phillies will introduce new manager Gabe Kapler at 2 p.m., according to Jeff Sversky of 6ABC, on Twitter.

There will be a live feed.

Meanwhile, Former Phillie Great Charlie Morton was the man on the mound when the Astros won the World Series last night. Chase Utley led off the ninth against Morton and struck out. Was that Utley’s? final appearance on a baseball diamond? (Don’t bet on it.)

Of course, Morton being on the mound meant that Other Former Phillie Great Ken Giles wasn’t out there. Can’t have ’em all, I guess.

Congratulations to the Astros. Enjoy the title (took a while, huh?).

Meanwhile we’re petitioning Sports Illustrated for a cover story this offseason.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
