Citizens Bank Park
Joe Blanton and Lucas Harrell squared off in the first game of this two game series in Philadelphia, the last of this homestand. Rain was in the forecast, and lots of it! The game would become official before the Phillies' offense would back up Blanton with a handful of runs. Up until the fifth inning, […]
"Ppppiiiiiiiiisssssttttttttaaaaaaccccchhhhhhiiiiiiooooooooooooooosssssssss!" It's a familiar sound for regulars at Phillies games of the last few years- the pistachio girl coming into your section to sell you pistachios, with her distinctive call to attention for all potential buyers. Some call it funny. Some say it's annoying. Some love it. For me, it's a part of the games. […]
Cole Hamels' suspension came to a close today in his first start back. He didn't miss a start, instead, he switched places in the rotation with Roy Halladay who pitched tremendously last night. This afternoon's game was the rubber match of the series, and what a great game it was on Mother's Day! Jimmy Rollins […]
Roy Halladay won his first three decisions of the season, his third win coming on April 16. That was also his last win. The Phillies flat-out do not score runs for Doc. Unfortunately, this pattern would continue as Halladay received the loss. Freddy Galvis drove in the first run of this game in the […]
When Roy Halladay has it, he has it. And, oh, did he have it tonight. He was looking for a win after a brutal outing last Wednesday night in Atlanta. He allowed eight earned runs on twelve hits in five and a third innings pitched. Very, very rare for Doc to pitch a bad game. Unfortunately, his […]
Google user upload Parking is one expense that accompanies every Phillies game and there never seems to be enough of it. $15.00 for a Phillies-owned lot times 81 games is an extra $1215.00 for a season ticket holder. One popular option among Phillies fans has been to park at Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) […]
We all wanted to forget about yesterday's excruciatingly painful loss to the Cubs in which the Phillies were held to two hits. Well, this game was definitely another crazy one, only the Phillies offense would jump out in front at the start and the close. Chris Volstad started tonight's game for the Cubs in his […]
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 […]
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 […]
