Posted by Danielle Wilson Deja vu, Travid Wood vs. Roy Halladay. Remember that matchup from last season? Travis Wood threw eight perfect innings against the Phillies in July last sesason, Carlos Ruiz broke it up in the ninth with a double to deep center field. The Phillies ended up winning that game in the eleventh […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Vancey pants Worley hasn't allowed more than two earned runs to score in any of his four major league starts. Vance has never faced the Reds before, so I was a bit curious to see how this game would go for him. The answer to my own question: not bad! Vance […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Everything about this game was just exciting, even the pre-game stats. Cole Hamels against the Reds including the postseason is 7-0 with a 0.91 ERA in eight starts. The Phillies' lineup tonight also looked rather intimidating; Rollins, Utley, Polanco, Howard, Ibanez, Ruiz, Brown, Mayberry. Beautiful, welcome back Chase Utley. In Chase's […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies went for the sweep of this three-game series against the Texas Rangers, and their chances looked pretty good with Roy Oswalt starting for them, who has allowed two earned runs or less in five of his six starts this season.

Posted by Danielle Wilson This game…I don't know where to begin with this game. Actually, I do, it started with Joe Blanton being scratched about ten minutes from game time, and Kyle Kendrick would come in to start. Blanton said he felt some soreness in his elbow, which is a bit concerning. Welcome back, Worley? […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of graphicshunt.com Cole Hamels (4-2, 3.19 ERA) dazzled through the first six innings before allowing a run to score in the seventh (an RBI double off of the bat of Todd Helton). He struck out seven and walked one, giving up two hits. After eight innings pitched, he was finished […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Going into tonight's game which is game number 40 of the season, the Phillies' record is the exact same as it was this time last year, and with a 25-14 record last season, they won game number 40. Time to advance to 26-14, and luckily for the Phils, they have Cliff […]
