Chase Utley and Ryan Howard on the Bench as Cole Hamels Pitches for Series Win Against Rox

The Phillies finally pulled a win out of their behinds last night, taking the second game 8-5. Vance Worley got the win, his fifth of the season after tossing 6 2/3 strong innings while raking in two runs of his own from an RBI double. So the Phils pitchers can hit now? He's no Cliff […]

With just 17 career home runs in his 13-year career, Pierre has always been noted as a singles hitter and speed demon on the base paths.

Phillies Kick Off Second Half With Weekend Set In Colorado

The Phillies had one of their first halves in ten years, going 37-50 headed into the All-Star Break. Well it's only been four days since they played, but I'm sick and tired of seeing this team playing like crap as well as being sick and tired of being negative about this team. So for the […]
