Today, the Detroit Tigers released third baseman Brandon Inge after a 12-year tenure together. Inge, who was batting .100 (2-20) with 2 RBI this season, was relieved of his duties at third base this season by Miguel Cabrera after the signing of Prince Fielder. Could the Phillies be interested in Inge's services? Personally, I don't […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phils are 7-9 on the year. My panic level? Not so high, it's only April and there are still five months of baseball to play. My frustration level? Through the freakin' roof. Watching this team play over the past two weeks has been absolute torture. They can't hit to save their […]
Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani It had been 13 games since the Phillies had lost a game at Petco Park. But as we know, all streaks come to an end sometime. The Padres routed the Phils 5-1 last night, winning their first game at home against the Phillies for the first time since 2008. Roy Halladay wasn't as […]
This afternoon, Chicago White Sox righty Philip Humber tossed a perfect game against the Seattle Mariners. The White Sox scored four runs for Humber who did the rest of the work, striking out 9 Mariners through 9 perfect innings. Humber threw just 96 pitches, 67 for strikes. Humber's perfect game is the 21st in MLB history as […]
The Phillies have won 12 consecutive games at Petco Park in San Diego. Currently, that is the longest active winning streak for any team at any set ball park. Usually Petco Park is some what of a re-boost period for the Phillies. Coming into a four-game series, the Phillies are hoping to pull their heads […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The series is split one a piece thus far. Roy Halladay beat out Tim Lincecum and the Giants 5-2 Monday night while Madison Bumgarner and the Giants' bats beat out Joe Blanton and held the Phillies to just two runs last night. Tonight is the series finale and the Phillies are looking […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's going to be a long week with these games starting at 10:15 PM ET. I didn't stay up to see Papelbon close out the 9th inning, but I did stay awake for Doc's outing. Doc was fantastic last night in the Phillies 5-2 win over San Francisco. Doc earned his third […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies have activated Jose Contreras this afternoon and have sent Joe Savery down to Triple-A Lehigh. This news, coming right after the Phillies' 8-2 win over the Mets, is the first transaction news in awhile. Jose Contreras, who had elbow surgery late last season, had started the 2012 season on the DL […]
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies have been outscored by the Mets 10-2 through the first two games of this weekend series. The Fightins dropped game one, 5-2 on Friday night and were blanked yesterday afternoon, 5-0. With the Mets taking the first two games, they have already won the series match up, their first series win […]
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies finally won their first series of the season. Last night, Joe Blanton was spectacular through 7 innings, allowing just 3 hits and one earned run. Blanton was backed by home runs from Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton to beat the Marlins, 3-1 and take the series 2-1. Tonight, the New York Mets […]
