Philadelphia Phillies
The third place New York Mets may be three games over .500, but they have some bad news to break. Righty Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John Surgery, ending his 2012 season prematurely. Pelfrey, 28, was put on the 15-day DL Tuesday afternoon with elbow soreness that was retroactive to April 22nd. Pelfrey made just […]
Well, Dontrelle Willis could not make the Phillies. So, to increase his chances of making a major league team, he went for one of the worst possible teams: The Baltimore Orioles. But, he could not make the Baltimore Orioles after signing a minor league contract. The Orioles assigned Willis to AAA Norfolk, but he […]
Early this afternoon, Ruben Amaro Jr. updated the statuses of both Hunter Pence and Ryan Howard. For starters, Pence will undergo a MRI on his left shoulder to determine the severity of his injury. The Phillies will know the results later tonight. At minimum, Hunter is unlikely to appear in the lineup until the Phillies […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) This is getting old. The Phillies tried to avoid a series split this afternoon in San Diego with Joe Blanton on the mound against reliever-turned-starter Anthony Bass. Some very sluggish defense and poor offense from this team wouldn't help. The Padres would strike first this afternoon thanks to a double from Chase […]
Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani It had been 13 games since the Phillies had lost a game at Petco Park. But as we know, all streaks come to an end sometime. The Padres routed the Phils 5-1 last night, winning their first game at home against the Phillies for the first time since 2008. Roy Halladay wasn't as […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's games like these that really make you wonder how the rest of this season will treat the Phils. Roy Halladay took the mound tonight in the third game of this four-game series against Cory Luebke and the Padres. The Phillies were looking to extend their winning streak in San Diego to 14 […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) It never ends, does it? Cliff Lee has been placed on the DL with a left oblique strain retroactive to Thursday. Lee injured his oblique in the 10th inning. Lee is coming off of a spectacular 10 shut out-inning outing against the Giants. The Phillies ended up losing 1-0 in the 11th […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies have already won the first two of four games against the Padres, totalling their stretch of consecutive wins at Petco Park at 13. The Padres, having only scored just one run during the first two games, will have no easy task tonight either. Reason why? Roy Halladay. Tonight, Doc (3-0, 1.17 […]
Former Cincinnati Red Edinson Volquez took the mound tonight for the Padres against Cole Hamels who has been victorious in recent years in San Diego, his home town. Carlos Ruiz was out of the lineup and will be for the next couple of days with a swollen wrist. A run wouldn't score in this game […]
The Phillies have won 12 consecutive games at Petco Park in San Diego. Currently, that is the longest active winning streak for any team at any set ball park. Usually Petco Park is some what of a re-boost period for the Phillies. Coming into a four-game series, the Phillies are hoping to pull their heads […]
