Philadelphia Phillies
Roy Oswalt may have signed with a contending team, but he himself hasn't really helped. The 35 year-old veteran signed a one-year contract worth $5,000,000 with the Texas Rangers in early June. Declining the Phillies' higher-waged offer, Oswalt decided to pitch where he pitched almost his entire career: Texas. So far, Oswalt is 4-6 with […]
Let's face it. The Phillies are red hot. With yesterday's win the Phillies inched closer to the Wild Card. Cliff Lee fell behind in the sixth, but Jimmy Rollins and his red-hot bat brought the Phils back and helped them overcome the Marlins. After a six-game homestand sweep against the Rockies and Marlins, the Phillies […]
Last night's wacky 9-7 win must have exhausted the Phillies, as well the Marlins. On a travel day, this evening's game got underway at 4:05, so the two teams had to battle some nasty shadows. Unfortunately for the Fish, they also had to battle Cliff Lee. Let's skip ahead to the sixth inning with the […]
The Phillies are playing some exciting baseball right now, no doubt about that. Winning the wild card isn't too out of the question, but the Phillies are making it look more and more likely with the way they've been hitting the ball. The Phils scored first tonight in the first inning. With the bases loaded, […]
The Phillies really have a shot. It is not even a matter of "giving up" on this season anymore. The Fightins sit just one game under .500 (70-71) and sit just five games back in the NL Wild Card race with 21 games left to be played in the 2012 campaign. Kyle Kendrick was spectacular […]
Is it safe to call Kyle Kendrick an Ace yet? Because he's sure as hell pitching like one. The surging Phils are riding on a lot of energy right now after a clean sweep of the Rockies, and they were looking to carry that over into this Marlins series at home. On the Kyle Kendrick […]
Following last night's doubleheader sweep, the Phillies sit just six games behind in the NL Wild Card race. Entering tonight's game, they are tied with the Brewers in the standings, both sporting 69-71 records. If the Phillies can get a jump on the Marlins tonight, they could be as far as 5 games out of […]
If you were hoping for a game with lots of hitting and lots of excitement, you watched the right ballgame this evening. After taking game one of this doubleheader with a walk-off victory, the Phillies were looking for a clean sweep of the Rockies tonight in game two. The Phillies scored first this evening in […]
The Phillies did it again this afternoon as they took game two of this three-game series in walkoff fashion. John Mayberry Jr. delivered the game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth to give the Phils their second 3-2 win, as well as walkoff win, over the Rockies this weekend. Cole Hamels tossed seven strong […]
A muggy night in Philly brought about the start of a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. Cliff Lee was looking for his fifth win on the season, while the Phillies were looking to gain some ground in the wildcard race. Cliff didn't have a simple first inning. Carlos Gonzalez doubled with Rutledge on base, […]
