Kendrick, Phillies Look To Play Spoiler For Nats In Season Series Finale

Who in their right minds would think that the Washington Nationals, yes the team that has been the laughing stock of Major League Baseball for the past seven seasons, would be in first place in their division with a 96-63 record?  Not me.

With No Chances Of October Baseball, Phillies Playing to Keep Above .500

I really thought they had a shot. The way the Phillies were playing in the beginning of this month made us all think that they could pull it off and enter the playoffs through the second Wild Card spot. That thought was put to rest last night as the Marlins beat the Phils, 2-1 via […]

Cliff Lee, Mark Buehrle Square Off In Miami With Nothing Else To Lose

(Philliedelphia/Danielle Wilson) The 2012 Phillies' season is over. It was pretty interesting in the beginning of September, but what ever had the Phillies playing so well quickly died.

21 Hits and 16 Runs Later, the Phillies Sweep the Mets in 16-1 Blowout

Well, this was one hell of a ballgame. After last night's ninth inning victory over the Mets, tonight's game (a makeup of Tuesday night's washout) which was started by Tyler Cloyd, was entertaining from the get-go. In the top of the first inning, the Phillies scored eight runs. Yes, eight. Here's how it all went […]

Cole Hamels, Phillies Keep Striving For A Wild Card Spot As They Take On Mets

Monday night proved successful for the Phillies as Cliff Lee and his team earned a solid 3-1 win against the Mets. The Phillies got an early lead and maintained it until the end. Hitting and pitching was on point as Lee struck out ten. He earned his sixth win of the year, while helping his […]
