New York
The Phillies have been eliminated from playoff contention and are fighting to finish the season with a winning record. As the season winds down and I am realizing that I will have a lot more time on my hands than I have the last five years, one question remains: Who will I root for this […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani In the end it sounds like a good old fashioned benching by the manager. The underperforming Shane Victorino and subject of many trade rumors this season was pulled from the Phillies starting lineup within an hour of game time with no explanation, prompted many to speculate that he had been traded. Some […]
Since Cole Hamels last took the mound and was a hard-luck loser to Mark Buehrle and the Miami Marlins, the Phillies have one just once, and trade rumors have swirled around the 28 year-old lefthander. In 2012 Hamels is currently 10-4 with a 3.08 ERA and will be representing the Phillies in the National […]
The Phillies had one more game in Flushing (like "flushing a toilet"), New York at Citi Field and the series was at stake. Dillon Gee went up against Cliff Lee who can't buy a win for the Phillies. Well, Cliff Lee did not win again. The 1st inning was a little rocky for Lee, giving […]
Photo from ChadMoriyama.com - there are two more angles so check it out. Lee vs. Gee: one of the best matchups we get now and then, and not just namewise. The two have matched up before and provided some six-letter pitching matchup excitement. Dillon Gee is 4-3 with a 4.92 ERA. He can be stellar and […]

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 […]
I get to write a rare recap since everyone's watching hockey or at work. Too bad you probably are too and not reading this. But, the Phillies did play, and avoided a sweep by the Mets. At first, it looked like the Phillies offense was taking the day in addition to the whole team wearing […]
Well, many people, such as this Deadspin report, and this official MLB tweet seemed to think Jimmy Rollins or Jim Thome tricked Mets catcher Josh Thole into an out on Friday night. Josh Thole, it turns out, told ESPN's Adam Rubin that Jimmy Rollins was simply trying to be helpful and told him to go into second […]
Coming off of yesterday's 5-2 loss to the Mets, the Phillies and Vance Worley will face Mets lefthander Jon Niese. The Phillies scattered 11 hits yesterday, but could only muster one run. Niese (1-0, 4.50), with a fresh new nose courtesy of Carlos Beltran, took a no-hitter into the 7th inning of Sunday's game against […]
