Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee Judging by the way these two teams are playing (the Phillies are dominating and the Marlins are downright terrible) it's no wonder why the Phils swept them tonight. With Victorino out due to a thumb sprain, John Mayberry Junior started in center field tonight. He gave […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of AP Photo/ Wilfredo Lee What a fun game this was. For Phillies fans that is, not Marlins fans (if there are any left). Cole Hamels, who came off of a short outing on June 30th due to a minor hand injury, pitched magnificently against Chris Volstad who exited early […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Marc Serota/Getty Images The Phils and Fish kicked off a three-game series tonight in Florida with Vancey Pants Worley on the mound against the right-handed Ricky Nolasco. Mike Stanton was certainly feeling confident before the game tonight judging by this tweet. Shane Victorino was out of tonight's lineup with […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Daylife.com This post was appropriately titled "Damn it, Kendrick!" before a power surge from the Phillies' bats in the ninth inning lifted them to a 7-6 win over the BlueJays on Canada Day. Kyle Kendrick allowed two runs to score in the first inning on Encamacion's double. Ben Francisco […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I don't even want to talk about what I just watched. I didn't even bother to include a picture today. It was just…bad. Sure, it looked promising from the start: Cole Hamels, the best lefty in the National League against Jon Lester, whose stats are very similar to Cole's this season. […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Daylife.com None of the Red Sox in tonight's lineup have faced Vance Worley before. Red Sox, meet the Vanimal. On top of that, Adrian Gonzalez starts in right field tonight for the first time since 2005. Some advice for the Phils' lineup: Hit it to Adrian. Vance Worley was […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Daylife.com I can't put into words how truly masterful Cliff Lee pitches. Cliff had a no-hitter going into the sixth inning tonight before giving up a single to Marco Scutaro. Five scoreless innings for Cliff to tack onto his current career-high streak. Domonic Brown backed up Cliff in the […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Daylife.com When the Florida Marlins came to visit in mid-June, I noticed that John Buck's catchers helmet was decorated and painted to represent the Marlins, and I love it. As you can see, there's a huge Marlin on the side (he has it painted on both sides, so they […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Daylife.com Thanks to our very own Christina Angelos, I get to write the recap today and was told to do so in the ninth inning, so I'll make this short and sweet. Roy Halladay pitched his 63rd career complete game striking out four, and allowing one earned run on […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Cole Hamels went for his tenth win of the season tonight, attempting to become the first National League pitcher to reach ten wins. Roy Halladay went for that feat on Thursday, but unfortunately the offense came too late in the game, after Roy was taken out. It felt like 2010 tonight, […]
