Last night was just another sad example of 2012 Phillies baseball. It's almost guaranteed that Kendrick could have gone eight innings last night. He was at 89 pitches. 89 pitches, Charlie. Antonio Bastardo blew the game after surrendering five two-out runs in the eighth inning. The Braves got away with a win against the Phillies […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) Yesterday was just pathetic. Seriously, you have to give an effort to lose like that. The Phils had the series in the bag until the 9th inning of yesterday's game that ended with a Mets walk-off win. The Phillies are looking to turn a new direction this weekend as they head into the […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Well I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I guess it won't hurt. According to MLB's Todd Zolecki, Ryan Howard is likely to start tomorrow's game vs the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies will open a three-game home stand before headed into the All-Star break. The […]
The Phillies are 10 games under .500 for the first time since June of 2002. Damn. There's not much to say besides the Phillies need a freaking miracle to head to the postseason, but if they keep playing this way they may just have to give up and become sellers. After being destroyed by the Mets […]
The Phillies started this road trip off in a bad way by being swept in Miami. This week, they'll play a three-game set in New York against the Mets before headed home to host the Braves for a weekend series to close out the first half of the year. Today Vance Worley (4-4, 2.92 ERA) […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Well I guess the Phillies are sellers this year. According to CBS' Jon Heyman, the Phillies have begun to call other Major League teams regarding trade interest in lefthander Cole Hamels. Hamels, 28, is in his last year of his contract with the Phillies and if he is not traded or not […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The rosters for the 83rd All-Star game have been unveiled and the Phillies have just three representatives. Catcher Carlos Ruiz and pitchers Cole Hamels and Jonathan Papelbon have made the NL All-Star team. It is Carlos Ruiz's first All-Star team in his career, while Hamels has been named to his third (2007, […]
According to Fan Nation, the Texas Rangers are reportedly scouting Phillies' lefthander Cole Hamels. Along with scouting Hamels, the Rangers are reportedly also scouting Brewers' ace Zack Greinke. Hamels, 28, is a free agent after this season and just as expected he has not spoken a word of his contract negotiations with the Phillies. Hamels signed […]
The Phillies have already lost this three-game set in Miami and today they will try to salvage a win to prevent a sweep. At 36-44, the Phillies sit 10 games out of first place and are eight games under the .500 mark. Joe Blanton will play the role of the sweep stopper today against the […]
Well last night wasn't the start we were looking for. Cliff Lee was lit up for six earned and the Phils only produced two runs themselves. It wasn't a good game at all, and for Cliff Lee it hasn't been a good season at all. The Marlins now hold a 4-3 record against the Phillies […]
