It's a battle of matching ERA's tonight as Kyle Kendrick and Ervin Santana bring their 4.09 to the mound at Turner Field to follow up a long extra inning game last night that found the Phillies delivering some clutch hits to start a tough series against the first place Braves. Kendrick is following up a […]
The skid continues for the Phillies after losing their third straigh. After getting an extended break from the rotation, Roberto Hernandez pitched very effectively through 6.1 innings, allowing two runs and scattering seven hits. Clayton Kershaw pitched six shut out frames allowing just two hits but got into some trouble in two innings only […]
In place of the recently DL'd Cliff Lee, Todd Zolecki reports that Saturday's starting pitcher will be David Buchanan, who will be making his major league debut.

For those in search of a good baseball book, George Will's A Nice Little Place on the North Side: Wrigley Field a One Hundred is a very nice read. Their home season begins with a […]
As the rosters continue to slim up even more and the few battles left intensify, another spring training is winding down but not before another prime time contest against the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa tonight. Jeff Manship takes the mound for the Phillies making what is probably his final case to make the […]
