The Phillies had one more game in Flushing (like "flushing a toilet"), New York at Citi Field and the series was at stake. Dillon Gee went up against Cliff Lee who can't buy a win for the Phillies. Well, Cliff Lee did not win again. The 1st inning was a little rocky for Lee, giving […]
Photo from ChadMoriyama.com - there are two more angles so check it out. Lee vs. Gee: one of the best matchups we get now and then, and not just namewise. The two have matched up before and provided some six-letter pitching matchup excitement. Dillon Gee is 4-3 with a 4.92 ERA. He can be stellar and […]
Wearing one of the better-looking Stars and Stripes collection hats in a long time, the Phillies headed up to Shea Stadium in New York and got back into the winning spirit. Phillies fans must be aware that a Shake Shack is opening in Philadelphia and so therefore had no need to go to Citi […]
@GMCarson just pointed me to this: The Phillies have moved one-time super prospect Domonic Brown to center field at AAA Lehigh Valley. Wow. If you fail at left and fail at right, only other place is center, right? (Well, I suppose Brown could return to pitching). This move could be very telling about the Phillies' […]
Left field is better than the bench Many moons ago, back on April 25, our very own beloved blogger who hardly writes anything Steve Gallo, wrote that a good fit for the Phillies would be Chase Utley in left field. Today, guess what Dave Murphy of the Daily News wrote? Turns out, despite my previous […]
Well, this brings lots of bad memories. Ryan Howard on the ground, Jason Motte appearing out of nowhere and actually pitching well, David Freese being uninjured just long enough to do some damage. But, it's 2012, the Cardinals are without Carpenter, Pujols, Berkman and La Russa, and the Phillies are without Howard, Utley, Oswalt, Madson, […]
Cole Hamels takes the mound against Edwin Jackson tonight as the last-place Phillies take on the first-place Nationals with a never-before used lineup. Yeah, Erik puts lineups at the end, but he's too busy flipping burgers and spitting in your McCafe shake to write one today. Check this out: Pierre, LF Polanco, 3B Pence, RF […]
The Cubs' Brilliant marketing team decided to have a Social Media Night at Wrigley field to help them sell tickets for a night game and their bad team. Because this series is just two games and it's the middle of the week in May, they can't count on Phillies fans coming to watch the […]
The Cardinals have given J.C. Romero his unconditional release. Romero has bounced in and out of now four organizations since the Phillies released him last June: the Nationals, Yankees, Rockies, and now the Cardinals. For the Cardinals, Romero had an 10.13 ERA in 11 games. Somehow I feel he would do better than many […]
No way – it can't, be can it? After using 25,732 different lineups, Charlie Manuel will actually use the SAME ONE two days in a row as the Phillies face the San Diego Padres for the second game of a three-game series. Roy Halladay is on the mound for the Phillies, who have lost his […]
