Picture Credit: Andrew Gillen Heading into tonight's ball game against the Colorado Rockies, the Phillies had won three out of their last four contests, a staggering feat considering their recent trend. Couple that with an exciting walk off victory off the bat of veteran Michael Young in last night's game, and you have yourself some […]
Two wins in a row isn't normally a thing to celebrate. But when you've only won enough games to count on one hand, it's momentous. The Phillies are in that exact situation now, and were looking to Tyler Cloyd to bring his recent Lehigh Valley stats to the majors. A victory against Jorge De La […]
Thanks to Gina Lucano for the picture For the better part of two years, Roy 'Doc' Halladay has been on an intense downslide that has severely impacted the legacy of his career. Tonight, he took the next step toward a major league return. Just three months removed from his shoulder surgery, Halladay would be making […]
Picture Credit: Andrew Gillen Ethan Martin's first handful of starts have been neither outstanding nor appalling. Tonight, he made a major step forward after collecting the second win of his major league career. After having the win practically handed to them on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Phillies weren't exactly on any sort […]

The emotional side of this move with Charlie Manuel is undoubtedly tough, but it is […]
In response to the reports that Charlie Manuel is out as manager of the Phillies, Danny Knobler of CBS is reporting that Ryne Sandberg will become the next manager of the team. The story will continue to develop, and the press conference will commence at 2:30.
Last night's game was a breath of fresh air for the Phillies and their fans alike. Cody Asche made some noise, Cole Hamels tossed a complete game, and Charlie Manuel got his 1,000th win. Tonight, though, they fell right back into their disappointing ways. Ethan Martin tried to make a triumphant return home as a […]
Photo Credit: Steve Trapani In my past few game recaps, I've noted that the most exciting thing to watch in the upcoming Phillies games would be the young stars finally getting their opportunities. Tonight, Cody Asche gave fans something to smile about. After a near two-hour rain delay, the Phillies and Braves finally got under […]
Since there were no good images from today's game, I figured Cliff Lee's disappointment would say it all. Assuming you had the same prediction as any other baseball fan for today's Phillies-Nationals matchup, you were correct. The Stephen Strausberg we've seen dominate teams across the league appeared today in Nationals Park, and handed the Phillies […]
