Philadelphia Phillies
Joe Blanton brought the business tonight against the Mets, much like he did in Atlanta last Thursday when he pitched an 88-pitch complete game shutout. The Phillies were able to score runs tonight off of Miguel Batista, which they failed to do (for the most part) last night to give Roy Halladay a win. Doc […]
We can all agree that in our lifetimes we'd never expect to see Joe Blanton throw a complete game shut out. Well last Thursday, Joe Blanton (3-3, 2.83 ERA) showed us wrong when he tossed an 88-pitch 3-hit complete game shutout against the Braves in a 4-0 win. After the Phillies lost last night's bout […]
When Roy Halladay has it, he has it. And, oh, did he have it tonight. He was looking for a win after a brutal outing last Wednesday night in Atlanta. He allowed eight earned runs on twelve hits in five and a third innings pitched. Very, very rare for Doc to pitch a bad game. Unfortunately, his […]
It's not easy listening to an ESPN broadcast in which they frequently mention the "first place Nationals and last place Phillies." But, it is easy to enjoy a defeat of this Nationals team, considering they took the first two games. Prior to the start of the game, ESPN sent out a text alert to those […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) There are a lot of things I hate. I hate mayonnaise, snakes, racoons, and horse raddish. But there is nothing I hate more than seeing the Phillies being swept. Now, the Phillies came into this "Take Back the Park" weekend with a .500 record and after the first two games, they sit […]
"Take back the park," say the Washington Nationals. "How about I take my foot and take back your ***," says a livid Charlie Manuel (ok, not really). The Phillies' manager was ejected in the bottom of the first inning tonight in Washington for the first time all season after arguing a checked swing from Bryce […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies won their third series of the season yesterday as Joe Blanton was freaking phenomenal against the Braves. A three-hit shutout? I don't know where it came from, but I loved it. Anyway, the Phillies won't play the Braves again until July 6-8, so we'll get back to them later. Tonight, the […]
Roy Halladay has left the Phillies today for undisclosed personal issues. This comes a day after surrendering a 6-0 lead, giving up 8 runs in the fifth and sixth innings of a 15-13 loss at Atlanta. The Phillies ace is winless since charging out to a 3-0 record, and his fastball is down in velocity. […]
My goodness, what a game. We watched as Roy Halladay slowly became human, followed by an unbelievable come back, followed by more mayhem, followed by another come back, and then a not so happy ending. The Phillies were playing excellent baseball against the sluggish Tommy Hansen. They were really making him work, and were working […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies are coming off of a 4-2 series-opener win over the Braves last night, their second consecutive win. They were unable to give Cole Hamels enough runs to give him the win, but did however manage a way to find victory last night. Tonight, Roy Halladay (3-2, 1.95 ERA) will aim […]
