Kyle Kendrick Squares Against Jason Marquis As Phillies Look for An Answer

After last night's disasterous loss to the Padres, it really honestly puzzles me how there can still be any faith left in this team. Cliff Lee was brilliant, allowing just two earned runs (inherited) over eight innings of work. He didn't get the win however, despite striking out seven. Even with a 3-0 lead late […]

Astonished, we all believed that the Mets would take the lead […]
