Roy Halladay returned to Citizens Bank Park for the first time since coming off the disabled list during the Dodgers series. He would face Randy Wolf and the Milwaukee Brewers. It didn't start out on a good note for Doc. In the first inning, Carlos Gomez was able to score on a double from Aramis […]
Roy Halladay made his return to baseball tonight after missing 42 days total with his latissimus dorsi strain. He did so against Stephen Fife, a 25-year-old making his major league debut for the sidelined Chad Billingsley. Much like they've been doing more of recently, the Phillies scored first. Jimmy Rollins scored in the top of […]
Hard to not see this one coming. According to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi, Phillies centerfielder Shane Victorino has a lot of teams who have interest in his services. According to him, Victorino may be the first to go this season. Something that should grab your attention: A high-ranking executive with one club predicted that Victorino […]
Image courtesy of Matt Sautter The Phillies were looking for a quality start from Vance Worley tonight to snap out of their five-game losing streak. Impatient at-bats last night led to a 6-2 loss, and a terrible way to kick off the second half of the season. Thankfully, an outburst of offense gave the Phillies […]
Image courtesy of Matt Sautter Welcome to the second half of the 2012 MLB season. Typically, the Phillies are a much better team during the second half than in the first half. They didn't look like it tonight in Colorado. After a four-day break for the All-Star Game and its festivities, Cliff Lee was looking […]

Despite the break being just four days, it's the biggest break between games they've had all year and maybe they can figure something out. The Phillies have already dropped this series to Atlanta after losing the first two games, but […]
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 […]

Howard himself was effective, going 2 for 4 with a double. There were two major problems with last night's despicable loss: 1) The lineup was constructed out […]
(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 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 […]
