Chicago Cubs
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies went from hitting the crap out of the ball, to not seeing it at all. This series with Chicago has literally been a roller coaster series. With the Phils dropping the third game yesterday, they fell to 1-2 against the Cubs and tonight they'll turn to Vance Worley in effort to […]
Kyle Kendrick piched very well this afternoon against the Chicago Cubs, coming back from a horrid three-inning outing in Arizona last Monday in which he allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits, walking one and striking out one. This afternoon he allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits, striking out seven and walking one […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Joe Blanton was straight up phenomenal tonight. No doubt about that. Fortunately, the offense showed up tonight for the Phillies, and backed up Blanton in what was a fantastic game against the Cubs. The only trouble that Joe Blanton put himself into tonight happened in the first inning. One run would score on […]
Impotence. The Philadelphia Phillies in a word, against a pitcher who had an 8+ ERA last night. Now how will they do against someone whose ERA is less than half that?! I'm lazy (and too angry about other crap) and don't feel like looking up numbers, so here is what Kevin Durso had to say […]
It's safe to say we're all tired of these kinds of losses. Roy Halladay was pitching himself a beauty of a game against the Chicago Cubs in the two teams' first meeting of the season. Paul Maholm hasn't had much luck against the Phillies in recent years, but that was about to change. Doc retired […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phils are coming back from a West Coast road trip in which they finished 5-5. They won just one series match up, against the D-backs, in four tries. The Phils managed just 15 runs through the first seven games of the road trip, but in the last two they seemed to […]
Photo: Fangirl In Training According to Fox Sports' Jon Morosi, the Phillies may be interested in utility infielder Mike Fontenot. The 31 year-old Fontenot was released by the San Francisco Giants on March 30, 2012 after posting a .278 avg in 13 Cactus League games. The Phillies have been searching for infield depth all Spring […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy mlblogs.com Well, it's lunch again, so I guess I have some time to post something, and the reports that the Phillies are interested in 3B Aramis Ramirez and also shopping Placido Polanco certainly have given me something to muse while I eat my sausage gumbo. Why might the Phillies make such […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast I almost didn't write a recap for tonight's game until the eighth inning, when the Phils finally scored a run. It was quite an ugly game prior to that inning. Of course, the pitching was spectacular from Cliff Lee and the 'pen, but it was […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of David Banks/Getty Images Brutal, brutal, brutal. The heat in Chicago was brutal. The Cubs were brutal. The Phillies' offense was brutal, and not in a good way. Looking ahead at this series, and examining how the Cubs have been playing thus far, it looked like an easy couple of […]
