Philadelphia Phillies
Around the eighth inning of today's ballgame in Miami, rumors began swirling of Jim Thome headed to Baltimore in a trade. Thome was shown in the dugout with a bat in his hands, most likely hoping to have one more at-bat as a Philadelphia Phillie. The future Hall of Famer had an excellent month for […]
After a miserable game one last night in which the Marlins beat up Cliff Lee, the Phillies were looking to gain some ground in the N.L. East with the Braves and Nationals playing each other this afternoon. Cole Hamels looked to continue his excellent season against Mark Buehrle who pitched seven scoreless in his last […]
Well last night wasn't the start we were looking for. Cliff Lee was lit up for six earned and the Phils only produced two runs themselves. It wasn't a good game at all, and for Cliff Lee it hasn't been a good season at all. The Marlins now hold a 4-3 record against the Phillies […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Well hopefully this will chipper you up after tonight's game. Roy Halladay threw 33 pitches during a bullpen session today, working on all of his pitches. Halladay has been sidelined with a strained lat muscle since May 29 and was put in "shutdown mode" for three weeks. Halladay was expected to miss […]
Brutal, brutal, brutal. The season continues to go down south for Cliff Lee, who entered this game with zero wins and left with the same amount. It's not about the offense bailing him out, that hasn't been an issue as of late. This is now about Cliff Lee giving up way too many runs, which […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew The Phillies were unable to end their homestand on a good note as they failed to seal a series victory against the Pirates. They took the first two games by storm, but were outhit by the Pirates in the last two games on Wednesday and yesterday. The Phils are embarking on a […]
When the Phillies opted to go with a "bullpen game" in last night's contest against the Pirates, it meant that today's starter had to at least keep the game close heading into the 7th inning for the team or the bullpen to have a chance to win. It didn't look like that was going to […]
It seems as if millions of prayers have been answered. Chad Qualls has been designated for assignment. In a corresponding move, Jeremy Horst has been called up. The Phillies signed Qualls to a one-year $1.15 MM contract in the offseason with hopes that he could continue his success as a relief pitcher as he did last […]
The Phillies were unable to win this series last night as they fell to the Pirates, 11-7. Although they won the first two games of the series, they are still looking for a series win. In this afternoon's matinée, Kyle Kendrick (2-7, 5.24 ERA) and A.J. Burnett (8-2, 3.24 ERA) will go head to head. […]
Chase Utley hadn't played a game for the Philadelphia Phillies since October 7. Since Spring Training, fans have been left in the dark regarding Utley's health and whether the 33-year-old second baseman would ever play another inning of baseball for the Phillies, or any Major League team, ever again. It certainly didn't look good […]
