Philadelphia Phillies
Seriously. If the Phillies played like they did last night for the first 68 games of the season, it would be a totally different atomosphere in this city. Cole Hamels was excellent, Jimmy Rollins played his butt off, John Mayberry is making great swings, and Carlos Ruiz is still Carlos Ruiz-ing the ball. It may […]
David Herndon had Tommy John Surgery this afternoon. Freddy Galvis was suspended 50 games after testing positive for PED's. Laynce Nix suffered a set-back thanks to a strained left calf today. Michael Stutes needs surgery on his shoulder to figure out what's wrong. Needless to say, this win tonight was much needed with all of […]
Great, even more bad news. According to Todd Zolecki, Phillies' right hander David Herndon could be headed towards Tommy John Surgery. Herndon, who is 0-1 with a 4.70 ERA in five games this season, could be out for a full year or even more.Herndon is signed through 2012 so if he does indeed go through Tommy John Surgery, […]
What the hell… According to numerous reports, Phillies second baseman Freddy Galvis has been suspended by MLB for 50 games after testing positive for a banned substance. According to Todd Zolecki, Galvis tested positive for a metabolite of Clostebol, a performance enhancing substance. Galvis had this to say about the test. "A trace amount of […]
This series between the Phillies and Rockies is going to show us either of these things: 1. The Phillies are going to be able to beat the Rockies two games to one or even better. 2. The Phillies will lose to the Rockies two games to one or even worse. 3. The Phillies and Rockies […]
According to the Washington Post's Amanda Comak, former-Phillies closer Brad Lidge has been designated for assignment by the Washington Nationals. Lidge, 35, signed a one-year $1MM deal with the Nationals in the offseason. In 11 appearances (9 1/3 IP), Lidge is posting an 0-1 record with a 9.86 ERA and only two saves. Lidge was […]
After dropping the first two games of this series in Toronto, the Phillies will turn to Kyle Kendrick in an effort to prevent the sweep. Yesterday was just another example of bad luck and bad baseball. Cliff Lee had everything going for him. A nice lead, a good pitch count, and a chance to finally […]
Well it hasn't happened yet. Cliff Lee is still winless. We'll get short and to the point today. The Phillies scored five runs, including a three-run shot by John Mayberry Jr. in the third inning. Cliff Lee allowed three runs on a season-high 12 hits over seven innings against the Blue Jays today. Lee had […]
(Philliedelphia: Steve Trapani) The news is getting better for the Phillies. Chase Utley and Ryan Howard are both improving during their rehab stints down in Clearwater. Chase Utley has been playing second base for the last few days and each game extending his playing time. Howard has been hitting and doing fielding drills during his rehab. […]
Oh, Canada. The Blue Jays have been very unlucky this past week with the loss of Brandon Morrow due to a left oblique strain, and Kyle Drabek with a torn UCL. Both are on the 15-day DL as of right now, but both injuries are likely substantial. As if losing two starters isn't bad enough, […]
