The Good Phight Innings Pitched & Pitches Thrown

Please excuse my ignorance if this is common knowledge, but does anyone know of a site that shows/tallies pitcher's pitches thrown per game?

There seem to be so many articles on Innings Pitched, but we all know that different pitchers can have wildly different pitch counts per inning. So, I'm wondering how Roy Halladay's 10% lead on innings pitched compares with the pitches thrown by other pitchers.

I cannot find this stat on Baseball Prospectus, MLB.com and Yahoo MLB, so any recommendations would be much appreciated. 

Thank you!

The Good Phight Why Doth the Beard?

Disclaimer: This post is definitely not statistic related, and has no basis in fact whatsoever. But I have to get something off my chest that's been bothering me since Spring Training, and am curious if anyone has considered the following possibility:

Is Jayson Werth's extreme beard growth over the past year in expectation that he will sign with the Yankees in the off season?

Reasons to consider Jayson's reasons for growing his beard and scalp hair longer this year:

- Jayson may been scruffy in the past, but both his facial and scalp hair have gone to new levels this year.

- Jayson is a free agent this coming season

- Jayson has a relationship with the Yankees via Reggie Jackson, whom he has known since he was 7, and whom still works for the Yankees: http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/sports/89377972.html

- The Yankees have expressed interest in acquiring Werth during the offseason

- The Yankees have a no beard, no long hair policy

- Johnny Damon was reborn in New York when he shaved his beard and long locks to go there, and made extra headlines for doing so.

- Jayson has stated that he's been playing for this year his whole life, which means he's expecting a big contract. Was this from the Phightins? or from the Yankees who have the need, money and connections for his services?

Was/Is Jayson preparing for a Damon-like entrance in New York next year? So that he can make a media splash at the time of his arrival with his new clean shaven looks?

On a side note, first place feels nice again :-)

The Good Phight Frustrating/Cool Things About Being a Phillies Phan

I've been in London since June, but have been following the Phils faithfully over here, and need an end of season rant. I came across this site when my Phillies addiction wasn't satisfied enough by news articles, and have loved reading all of your thoughts ever since.

Arrrrgggghhhhh.  Year after year I watch or listen to at least part of 90% of the Phillies games. I accept they may not be perfect, but I still support them even through frustrating periods, because of some deeply-ingrained feeling that I can't consciously control. I imagine you who have teenagers feel the same way. But the past couple of years of getting so close...

Anyway, since there are no Phillies phans in London, I need to vent and here are 5 Frustrating Things and 6 Cool Things that I wish to share about the Phillies (apologies to others that have already posted similar, if not identical thoughts, please think of it as a tribute to how you have influenced me).
