Philadelphia Phillies

Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Jim McIsaac/Getty Images Finally, Phillies baseball! It has only been five days since their last game, but it seems like weeks. It's a good thing they won tonight, huh? Sorry, spoiler alert… Well, Vance Worley's last outing against the Marlins was a beauty. However, his last outing against the […]

Posted by Frank Klose Rob Neyer posted this quick blurb with this quote from Cole Hamels: I'd love to pitch. Tuesday is a bullpen day. It's usually the day I feel the best. It's one of those things where people who don't play the game make the rules. Hamels, you see, was ineligible to pitch […]

Posted by Kevin Durso The halfway point of the season is now officially upon us, an after playing 91 games, the Phillies are sitting atop the standings in all of baseball.

According to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com, Hamels, Gload, and Carlos Ruiz flew to Roy Oswalt's home in Weir, MO for a quick fishing trip.  Not used to the Missouri […]

Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy fbjunkie.com Jimmy Rollins appeared on 97.5 the Fanatic this morning with Harry Mayes and Brian Baldinger, and had this to say when looking at the future: "Business is buisness, and the numbers are the numbers…there's no such thing as a home-town discount" Hmm, well, if that's the case, then the […]

Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee Judging by the way these two teams are playing (the Phillies are dominating and the Marlins are downright terrible) it's no wonder why the Phils swept them tonight. With Victorino out due to a thumb sprain, John Mayberry Junior started in center field tonight. He gave […]

Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of AP Photo/ Wilfredo Lee What a fun game this was. For Phillies fans that is, not Marlins fans (if there are any left). Cole Hamels, who came off of a short outing on June 30th due to a minor hand injury, pitched magnificently against Chris Volstad who exited early […]
