Citizens Bank Park
Photo by Frank Klose/Philliedelphia It’s a sign of the times. The Phillies just completed a six-game homestand against the Marlins and Braves that included a Thursday afternoon game and a weekend series. The attendance only broke 25,000 once, on Sunday’s Phanatic’s birthday celebration, and even then, this annual tradition drew a much smaller crowd of […]
The stadium had a good run. Before the 2014 Phillies take the field, the ballpark could conceivably have a new name. Named Citizens Bank Park since its opening in 2004, a possible sale of Citizens Bank could affect the name on the ballpark. The London Sunday Times is reporting that Citizens Bank could […]
Not much is working in favor of the Phillies these days. After dropping the first two series of the season, Roy Halladay looked to get his first win of the year against Matt Harvey and the Mets tonight, but would see no such luck. Early on, Doc was struggling. In the top of the second, […]
Today marked Opening Day at Citizens Bank Park, and it couldn't have gone much worse. In the bottom of the first, Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, and Ryan Howard combined for three straight singles, Rollins was able to score on Howard's hit. 1-0 Phils. Domonic Brown led off the bottom of the second, and took Royals' […]
The news is good. Or it's bad. Or it's not news. I can't decide. According to Daily News Phillies Beat Writer Ryan Lawrence, prices of Phillies tickets for the 2013 will change: In short, of the 81 games the Phils will play at Citizens Bank Park, 10 games have tickets that have gone up in […]
The Phillies enter tonight's game nine games under .500 and ten games back in the Wild Card. At 57-66 and 39 games left to play, there's a slim – and I mean slim – mathematical possibility that the Phillies could make the playoffs with a Wild Card berth. After winning the series opener against the […]
Doc didn't have his best stuff tonight, but the stuff he had was still dominant. The Reds jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first. Jay Bruce doubled to bring home Zack Cozart, the first run, then Brandon Phillips scored on a groundout from former Phillie Scott Rolen. The Phils got on the […]
A single one-inning pitching performance made Wilson Valdez a cult hero in Philadelphia. Accordingly when Wilson Valdez was traded this offseason for left-handed reliever Jeremy Horst, widespread irrational panic broke out among Phillies fans. Despite our Mike Frohwirth explaining that Wilson Valdez is not good at baseball at all, people worried about the Phillies […]

According to Philly.Curbed.com, a house that was built with more than 1,000 bricks from the Phillies' old stadium in the late 1970's is for sale, and it's going for […]
The pesky Braves just can't lose, can they? Other than last night's gem of a game from Hamels, the Braves have dominated the Phillies all season. Tonight, they showed great patience at the plate and got Kyle Kendrick to exit the game early, just to tear up the Phils' bullpen. In the rubber match of […]
