Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies and Braves opened up a three-game series tonight in Philadelphia. This series will be the last time Braves third baseman Chipper Jones sees Philadelphia in his final season of major league baseball. So what better way to congratulate Chipper on a Hall of Fame career than with a smattering of boos, a few […]
Well, this was one hell of a ballgame. After last night's ninth inning victory over the Mets, tonight's game (a makeup of Tuesday night's washout) which was started by Tyler Cloyd, was entertaining from the get-go. In the top of the first inning, the Phillies scored eight runs. Yes, eight. Here's how it all went […]
Cole Hamels continued his red-hot season tonight at Citi Field, recording double-digit strikeouts in an outstanding effort which he would later receive the no-decision for. The offense showed up a little late tonight, long after Mets' starter Matt Harvey left the ballgame. Jimmy Rollins started off this ballgame against Matt Harvey doing what he does […]
Monday night proved successful for the Phillies as Cliff Lee and his team earned a solid 3-1 win against the Mets. The Phillies got an early lead and maintained it until the end. Hitting and pitching was on point as Lee struck out ten. He earned his sixth win of the year, while helping his […]
Coming off of a 1-3 series loss against the Houston Astros, the worst team in baseball, the Phillies enter New York with the intent of getting back the giddy-up they had in the beginning of September. After being completely eliminated from contention of the NL Eastern Division title yesterday, the Phillies will enter the final […]
This was a must-win for the Phillies, no doubt about that. Being three games back in the second wild card spot with 16 left to play, the Phils had to beat the last-place, worst in MLB Astros. Luckily, the Phils backed up Roy Halladay with some early offense. In the top of the first inning, […]
Have we found Kyle Kendrick's kryptonite in the Houston Astros? It seems like it. Kyle and Dallas Keuchel squared off tonight in the third game of this four-game series. Kendrick has been wonderful for most of the 2012 season. Tonight was just a bump in the road, like it normally is against the Astros. In […]
Last night, the Phillies made up for Friday's 6-4 loss to Houston. Scoring 12 runs against the Astros to even up the series. Along with getting their winning game back last night, the Phillies advanced to three games back in the NL Wild Card race. Cole Hamels lasted seven innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on […]
Last night, the Phils dropped their first game in over a week, snapping a seven-game win streak, and propelling them back four games in the Wild Card race. In the early goings, it looked like the Phillies victory: a four-run lead against a pathetically weak offense in the Astros. Nope. The Astros would slowly come […]
A change of scenery and a new mission: Chase the St. Louis Cardinals. Entering tonight's game in Houston, the Phillies were three games back in the second wildcard. So, a four-game series against the Astros sounds like the perfect time to gain some ground, right? The Phillies got the ball rolling in the second inning […]
