Juan Pierre
After dumping more than half of their players in a pathetic attempt to rebuild their sh***y team, the Miami Marlins have reportedly made an acquisition to make up for it. According to Sirius XM's Craig Mish, the Marlins have agreed to a contract with former Phillie Juan Pierre. Pierre, 35, signed a minor-league deal with […]
That's a wrap. The Phillies ended the 2012 season this afternoon against the National League East Champion Nationals. Cliff Lee and Edwin Jackson squared off, both looking to end the regular season on a good note. Throughout the past two Nationals-Phillies series, Darin Ruf has sent home almost every single run for the Phils. In […]
I really thought they had a shot. The way the Phillies were playing in the beginning of this month made us all think that they could pull it off and enter the playoffs through the second Wild Card spot. That thought was put to rest last night as the Marlins beat the Phils, 2-1 via […]
The Phillies and Braves opened up a three-game series tonight in Philadelphia. This series will be the last time Braves third baseman Chipper Jones sees Philadelphia in his final season of major league baseball. So what better way to congratulate Chipper on a Hall of Fame career than with a smattering of boos, a few […]
Well, this was one hell of a ballgame. After last night's ninth inning victory over the Mets, tonight's game (a makeup of Tuesday night's washout) which was started by Tyler Cloyd, was entertaining from the get-go. In the top of the first inning, the Phillies scored eight runs. Yes, eight. Here's how it all went […]
This was a must-win for the Phillies, no doubt about that. Being three games back in the second wild card spot with 16 left to play, the Phils had to beat the last-place, worst in MLB Astros. Luckily, the Phils backed up Roy Halladay with some early offense. In the top of the first inning, […]
A change of scenery and a new mission: Chase the St. Louis Cardinals. Entering tonight's game in Houston, the Phillies were three games back in the second wildcard. So, a four-game series against the Astros sounds like the perfect time to gain some ground, right? The Phillies got the ball rolling in the second inning […]
The Phillies are playing some exciting baseball right now, no doubt about that. Winning the wild card isn't too out of the question, but the Phillies are making it look more and more likely with the way they've been hitting the ball. The Phils scored first tonight in the first inning. With the bases loaded, […]
Juan Pierre survived the non-waiver trade deadline. Juan Pierre survived the waiver trade deadline. Any team acquiring Juan Pierre after that deadline would be unable to use him in the playoffs. But that has not stopped teams from being interested. Danny Knobler of CBS Sports reports that the Orioles "have some interest" in acquiring […]
Cole Hamels against Johnny Cueto sounds like an awfully good pitching match-up. The two candidates for the Cy Young award battled in a pitcher's duel after a shaky and rainy first inning from Cole Hamels. Once Hamels found his groove, the Reds were in trouble. That first inning for Cole looked like a whole lot […]
