Utley Silences Doubters After Strong 2012 Debut

  Chase Utley hadn't played a game for the Philadelphia Phillies since October 7. Since Spring Training, fans have been left in the dark regarding Utley's health and whether the 33-year-old second baseman would ever play another inning of baseball for the Phillies, or any Major League team, ever again.

Vance Worley Gets The Call Against The Pirates

The Phils looked strong last night. Jimmy Rollins is smoking hot and Carlos Ruiz is still Carlos Ruizing it. By the way, you should really vote for Chooch for the All-Star Game. Seriously do it. Anyway, the Phils took game one of four by a score of 8-3 last night. Joe Blanton was solid while […]

Like Old Times, Phillies Are Not in a Good Position
