The Phillies have continued to make their offseason moves early on into the offseason. Two days to be precise. A day removed from firing three members of their coaching staff, the Phillies have two new additions to their unit for the 2013 campaign. This morning, the Phillies announced that Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPig head coach […]
The Phillies are clearing house in the coaching department. Just an hour after first base coach Sam Perlozzo was fired, Todd Zolecki reported that bench coach Pete Mackanin and hitting coach Greg Gross have been fired. After an 81-81 record to finish the 2012 season, the Phillies front office are looking to re-vamp the coaching […]
Photo: Wikipedia Commons. The Phillies season just ended no more than a half-hour ago and Rube and the organization have already begun to make moves. Todd Zolecki reported a few moments ago that first base coach Sam Perlozzo will not be returning to the team next season. Perlozzo joined the staff in 2009, serving as the […]
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. The Nationals can clinch the NL East for the first time in […]
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 […]
(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.

Even after last night's 6-3 rout over the NL East-leading Nationals, the Phillies remain 5 1/2 games out of the Wild Card standings. With eight games left in the regular season, the Phillies basically have to go 8-0 to have a shot. Even if they do go undefeated the rest of the season they still […]
The Phillies continued their offensive outbreak in last night's series opener against Atlanta. Four Phillies homered last night to push to a 6-2 win. With last night's win, the Phillies three games behind in the Cardinals for the second Wild Card spot. Kyle Kendrick was yet again spectacular, earning his tenth win of the season. […]
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 […]
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 […]
