But after taking warmups on Sunday, the wide receiver will play. The Eagles will also dress all four running backs on the roster, meaning that Ryan Mathews returns, […]
We are in the final week of spring training and in one week's time, every game played will matter. The Phillies will be in Atlanta on April 1st, but before they head down south they will stop at Citizens Bank Park for a three-game On-Deck Series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Today John Lannan (1-1, […]
Last night's wacky 9-7 win must have exhausted the Phillies, as well the Marlins. On a travel day, this evening's game got underway at 4:05, so the two teams had to battle some nasty shadows. Unfortunately for the Fish, they also had to battle Cliff Lee. Let's skip ahead to the sixth inning with the […]
A pitcher's duel between Josh Johnson and Kyle Kendrick, that's not something you see everyday. Jimmy Rollins did a few awesome things tonight. For one thing, he launched his 41st career leadoff home run. This happened in the first inning, giving his team the early lead. The next feat he accomplished occurred when the game […]
What a way to start off this series with the division-rival Marlins. Cole Hamels was spectacular for the second straight start last night as he tossed his second consecutive complete game shut out. Opposed from his five-hitter against the Braves last week, Hamels allowed just seven hits to the Marlins, who coincidentally, were shutout the […]

They took the first two games by storm, but were outhit by the Pirates in the last two games on Wednesday and yesterday. The Phils are embarking on a […]
Not tonight, Miami. Freddy Galvis and the Phils had other plans. Tonight was all about this Phillies lineup. Charlie Manuel sent out his fifth different lineup, and he finally struck gold. And by gold, I mean runs. With Roy Halladay on the mound against fellow ace Josh Johnson, Doc would reign superior once again with […]
Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew The first time Roy Halladay and Josh Johnson faced off on the mound was May 29, 2010. Roy Halladay threw the 20th perfect game in MLB history against the then-Florida Marlins. Two match ups have followed resulting in two Marlin wins. On June 10, 2010, 12 days after the perfect game, Halladay and Johnson […]
