NL East
The Phillies are 2-5 on the year. Do they stink? Yeah – right now they do. Their pitching is atrocious and they are scoring runs, but only during one or two innings out of the entire game. It's early in the season, but if they continue to play like this it's not gonna look bright […]
Yesterday was just, ugh, I can't even talk about how discouraging and painful yesterday's ball game was. I don't even want to think about it. However, to give today's preview, you're gonna need some insight on yesterday's 13-4 loss. The Phils looked promising early on, amounting a 4-0 lead, but when Kyle Kendrick got into […]
Parents, hide your kid's eyes from this post…it's a little over the edge of PG. Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez had a fantastic season against Miami debut on Wednesday. While allowing two hits over six innings of scoreless ball, striking out five and walking two, Gonzalez also added a home run himself in the 3-0 […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies didn't necessarily start the season off on a good note, but it doesn't really matter because there are 161 games left to play. Cole Hamels was un-Cole-Hamels-like on Monday, getting tagged for five earned runs on seven hits. The Braves took Hamels deep three times in his first Opening Day start […]
The Phillies proved stronger than their Keystone rival Pittsburgh Pirates in yesterday's game, as the Phillies pulled out a 5-0 win. John Lannan pitched superb in his second start of the spring. The left-hander tossed three innings of one-hit ball against the Pirtates while striking out two. With that win, the Phillies pulled to .500 […]
Who in their right minds would think that the Washington Nationals, yes the team that has been the laughing stock of Major League Baseball for the past seven seasons, would be in first place in their division with a 96-63 record? Not me. The Nationals can clinch the NL East for the first time in […]
Even after last night's 6-3 rout over the NL East-leading Nationals, the Phillies remain 5 1/2 games out of the Wild Card standings. With eight games left in the regular season, the Phillies basically have to go 8-0 to have a shot. Even if they do go undefeated the rest of the season they still […]
Last night, the Phils dropped their first game in over a week, snapping a seven-game win streak, and propelling them back four games in the Wild Card race. In the early goings, it looked like the Phillies victory: a four-run lead against a pathetically weak offense in the Astros. Nope. The Astros would slowly come […]
Roy Oswalt may have signed with a contending team, but he himself hasn't really helped. The 35 year-old veteran signed a one-year contract worth $5,000,000 with the Texas Rangers in early June. Declining the Phillies' higher-waged offer, Oswalt decided to pitch where he pitched almost his entire career: Texas. So far, Oswalt is 4-6 with […]
Let's face it. The Phillies are red hot. With yesterday's win the Phillies inched closer to the Wild Card. Cliff Lee fell behind in the sixth, but Jimmy Rollins and his red-hot bat brought the Phils back and helped them overcome the Marlins. After a six-game homestand sweep against the Rockies and Marlins, the Phillies […]
