Philadelphia Phillies
There is no sweeter sight than seeing one of Philadelphia's most beloved athletes return to the field for the first time all season. Chase Utley returned tonight in what the fans knew might be a terrible game for Phillies pitching. Raul Valdes was tonight's spot starter in what would be one interesting ballgame. Your browser […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose The Phillies are looking to take this four-game set tonight as they look to win their third straight game. The Phils' offense has been heating up during the end of this homestand, especially behind the bats of Jimmy Rollins and Carlos Ruiz. Tonight's starter for the Phillies will be Raul Valdes. […]

Chase was activated this afternoon after spending just one day in Lehigh Valley rehabbing with the Triple-AAA IronPigs. Michael Martinez was sent down to the 'Pigs, making room for Chase on the 25-man roster. No word yet if Chase will be in […]
Vance Worley took the hill tonight for the Phillies against lefty Eric Bedard of the Pirates. With the team playing more aggressive than ever this season, the remainder of this series is sure to be entertaining. The Phillies jumped ahead early tonight with an RBI single from the hot-hitting Carlos Ruiz. He plated Hunter Pence […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose In what should be his final rehab stint before returning to the Phillies, Chase Utley played a game at second base tonight for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Phillies' Triple-AAA affiliate. Utley, who of course walked up to the plate with "Kashmir" blasting arround him, had a great night at the plate. […]
The Phils looked strong last night. Jimmy Rollins is smoking hot and Carlos Ruiz is still Carlos Ruizing it. By the way, you should really vote for Chooch for the All-Star Game. Seriously do it. Anyway, the Phils took game one of four by a score of 8-3 last night. Joe Blanton was solid while […]
After dropping both games of a day-night double-header yesterday, the Phillies were looking to shake off the rust and start off a four-game series with the Pirates on the right foot. Joe Blanton was looking for his seventh win on the season tonight, and would do so against Jeff Karstens. Runs would be surprisingly […]
It's pretty sad that it's almost July and the Phillies are still in last place. Sitting six games under .500 (34-40) and sitting 9 games behind in the NL East, it's really tough to see this team accomplishing anything great this season. The Phillies are coming off of a 2-1 series loss against the Rays, […]
According to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, Phillies second baseman Chase Utley is currently at Citizens Bank Park. Zolecki reports that Utley is on the field playing catch with infielder Mike Fontenot. Zolecki also notes that Utley is working out here today, tomorrow he will go play for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will be back in Philly […]

Friday's game was washed out, pushing a game back to 6:35 tonight, and starting this game 30 minutes early. It was a scoreless battle between the Phils and Rays until the sixth inning when Jimmy Rollins jacked a solo […]
