Monday night, the Phillies had a great chance to open up their series with the Pittsburgh Pirates with a victory. Even after an eighth inning blow up by Kyle Kendrick, a late three-run rally nearly put them into that position. However, it wasn't enough in the eventual 6-4 loss. Last night, they got a bit […]
With the spoiler tag firmly tied around this 2014 Phillies team, the series against the Washington Nationals gives the fans a chance to watch some interesting matchups. While the Nats have all but wrapped up a playoff appearance, they have not secured the National League East title, and tonight's game would be another opportunity for […]
While still technically capable of reaching a Wild Card spot in this year's playoffs, the Phillies are probably headed toward another October-less season. However, that hasn't stopped Ryne Sandberg's team from making a late season run, where they've won ten out of their last fifteen games. Included in those ten wins was a three-game sweep […]
Up until their NLCS matchup with the San Francisco Giants, the 2010 season was a remarkable one for the Phillies, and in particular, Roy Halladay. As you may remember, Doc threw a perfect game against the then Florida Marlins in May of that season, just the second in Phillies history. Later that year, Halladay would […]

However, they're still on a stretch in which they have won seven of their last ten games, and will continue to play against other National League Eastern teams with today's contest. Today's […]
After two straight series wins, the Phillies are on a pretty decent roll. Their last two opponents, the Seattle Mariners and St. Louis Cardinals, are legitimate playoff contenders, heading down a stretch where every game becomes even more important by the day. That streak will continue, as the Phillies will now stay at home to […]
A win last night against the Seattle Mariners had to feel good, if only because of the well-known struggles the Phillies have had against the American League. Looking ahead to the next two games, there was even a belief that the home squad had a chance to win the series, especially considering they did not […]
With a split of the first two games in this series, it's not very surprising that the Phillies were victorious in Cole Hamels' start, but defeated in Kyle Kendrick's outing. And yet, neither pitcher played much of a factor in the result. On Friday, the team made their comeback toward victory after Hamels was lifted […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Andrew Gillen With a ten inning victory in last night's contest, the Phillies successfully rebounded from their two straight losses to the Los Angeles Angels. Cole Hamels' streak of five seven-inning, 1/0 run performances did come to a close, but just three earned runs allowed were enough to give his team the chance to […]

Following the two-game sweep at the hands of Anaheim, Philadelphia will have their best chance at a rebound in tonight's game. Their ace, Cole Hamels, takes to the mound in the ten o'clock contest. These […]
