Raul

The New Guy shall now and forever be known as Raul Ibanez. The more the season progresses, the more I have started to like Raul. He has proven to be a valid left fielder, and is an excellent addition to the Phillies offense. He is currently the leader for RBI's and home runs for the team. At first, I was one of those stubborn, anti-Ibanez, pro-Burrell fans. I still miss Pat Burrell as a member of the team, but Raul Ibanez has proved that he belongs in Philly. When Raul comes up to bat, it sounds like the fans are booing him, but they are actually prolonging his name. He is now one of Philadelphia's favorite sports figures. Pretty good for a city that isn't exactly the most welcoming when it come to new people. Good job Raul, and welcome to Philly.
