Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Matt Slocum/AP Photo Oh, boy. What an interesting game this turned out to be. Roy Oswalt against Rubby De La Rosa, who was making his first major league start. Roy hasn't won a game since April 21 in San Diego, and Rubby has yet to win a game as […]

Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Justin K. Aller/Getty Images The Phillies hoped to avoid a sweep in Pittsburgh (I can't believe I just typed that) with Roy Halladay taking the bump against James McDonald this afternoon. The Pirates took an early lead in the first inning when Neil Walker homered to score Xavier Paul. […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Gene J. Puskar/AP Photo That face. Look at that face. Yeah, I also wish that it was Vance Worley's. After yesterday's extra-innings loss to the Bucs, the Phillies put Kyle Kendrick on the mound against Charlie Morton who "reinvented himself." Luckily for Kyle, the Phillies hopped on a 1-0 […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The outcome that Phillies fans have been waiting a few days to hear about, who would be sent down to AAA Lehigh Valley when Shane Victorino returns?

Posted by Danielle Wilson On this sweltering Wednesday afternoon, the Phillies completed a three-game series in Washington, which was the rubber match of the series following yesterday's 10-2 loss. Roy Oswalt took the bump today against John Lannan, who is notoriously known for hitting just about every batter in the Phils' lineup. He's 0-10 against […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The last time Cliff Lee faced the Nats at Nationals Park, he three-hit them, striking out 12. Jason Marquis has never had much luck against the Phillies, and his 9.67 earned run average against them says it all. The Nationals took the lead early on in the bottom of the third […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies hopped on the train to Washington from New York to take on the Nationals for a three-game series. Roy Halladay who has won his last nine decisions against Washington/Montreal took the mound flashing a 2.58 earned run average. The pesky Nats took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies headed up to Flushing, New York to visit the LOLMets for the first time this season. Roy Oswalt took the mound coming off of his first loss at Citizens Bank Park, which was his second of the season. The lineup gave little Roy a little help, first scoring Carlos […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson It might take me a few days to shut up about last night's game and Wilson Valdez's pitching performance, but this game was greater in terms of offense. For the record, I don't care how many runs the Phillies scored today, I'm still excited over Valdez pitching. I mean, Valdez was […]
