Philadelphia Phillies
Posted by Frank Klose Uggh. Again? The Phillies once again are wearing their patriotic caps, a tradition that started in 2007 or so. But, even prior to that the Phillies donned some pretty ugly caps, including ones that don't even match the uniform. Here is a rundown of the caps that the team has […]
Posted by Frank Klose Cole Hamels must have been easy to read for the New York Mets' coaching staff, because in the early going, the Mets were running all over Hamels and Carlos Ruiz. Just 2 2/3 innings in, the Mets had stolen five bases. Two of those bases were stolen by Jose Reyes, and […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies headed up to Flushing, New York to visit the LOLMets for the first time this season. Roy Oswalt took the mound coming off of his first loss at Citizens Bank Park, which was his second of the season. The lineup gave little Roy a little help, first scoring Carlos […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson It might take me a few days to shut up about last night's game and Wilson Valdez's pitching performance, but this game was greater in terms of offense. For the record, I don't care how many runs the Phillies scored today, I'm still excited over Valdez pitching. I mean, Valdez was […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Deja vu, Travid Wood vs. Roy Halladay. Remember that matchup from last season? Travis Wood threw eight perfect innings against the Phillies in July last sesason, Carlos Ruiz broke it up in the ninth with a double to deep center field.

Posted by Frank Klose I have been away for the last week, and I had a bunch of things I wanted to comment on. Here goes. Philliedelphia/Frank Klose First, a buzz has been generated by Mindy Housenick. In her blog today, a post entited, "Chase…Were You Listening?" seemed to anger many fans when she stated, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Everything about this game was just exciting, even the pre-game stats. Cole Hamels against the Reds including the postseason is 7-0 with a 0.91 ERA in eight starts. The Phillies' lineup tonight also looked rather intimidating; Rollins, Utley, Polanco, Howard, Ibanez, Ruiz, Brown, Mayberry. Beautiful, welcome back Chase Utley. In Chase's […]

I am pretty disappointed that Orr was optioned to the […]
