Yep. You read that right. This game is one of two pontential games that can and will decide if the Phillies will continue to play for a playoff spot – or – if they will sell house by Tuesday. Ruben Amaro Jr. said yesterday that "'If we get swept here it will be daunting. The […]
In three-straight games the Phillies have come back from a deficit to win the game. On Sunday against the Giants and Monday against the Brewers, the Phils ended the game in walk-off fashion. Last night was a bit different. The Phillies trailed 6-1 headed into the eighth inning. Cliff Lee was horrible last night, allowing […]

According to early reports from ESPN's Buster Olney, the lefthander and the Phillies have agreed to a six-year, $144MM contract extension. Hamels and the team will announce the deal in a press conference later on this morning at CBP. Late last night, word broke out […]
Last night, the Phillies capped off an extraordinary comeback in the series opener against the Brewers. Down 6-3 in the bottom half of the 9th, the Phillies mounted four runs off of Francisco "Beats His Father-in-Law" Rodriguez to win the game, 7-6. It seemed like the baseball Gods of 2008 pulled a highlight reel from that […]
According to the New York Post's Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1), the Phillies have elevated their offerings to left hander Cole Hamels to $140 million. Although the offer is close to Hamels' asking price, Hamels has not yet said yes to it. Hamels is 11-4 with a 3.23 ERA in 19 starts this season, the last of […]

In an interview with 94 WIP's Michael Barkann and Ike Reese, Pence expressed his feelings about Philadelphia and its fans as well as making his preferance clear that he'd rather lose here than be […]
The Phillies barely escaped a sweep at the hands of the Giants yesterday. It was too close to call as the Phils took their second game in a row into extra innings. Unlike Saturday's game, the Phils were able to rally up a walkoff hit as Jimmy Rollins knocked in Carlos Ruiz with a single […]
Ugh. Well they're back to the losing spirit in Philly. The Phillies dropped game two of three against the Giants this afternoon's slugfest in what was set to be a pitcher's duel. Cole Hamels entered this game with an 11-4 record and a 3.07 ERA and left with the same record but a much higher 3.23 […]
In what could be Cole Hamels' last start in a Phillies uniform, it's set to be a great pitching matchup. Hamels (11-4, 3.07 ERA) will go toe-to-toe with Giants ace Matt Cain (10-3, 2.56 ERA) in game two of this three-game series. After dropping the opener last night, 7-2, the Phils will look to even out […]
Although they couldn't seal the sweep, the Phillies are coming off of another series win. Their second in a row. On Wednesday, Cliff Lee was fantastic over eight innings. The offense, on the other hand, was not so fantastic. They were only able to push one run across the plate and it cost them in […]
