Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review tweets that Phillies […]
We were all good and happy last night at reports that the Phillies were offering free agent-to-be Cole Hamels between $142 and $144 million over six years. But this morning on 97.5 the Fanatic, Assistant Program Director and weekend host Joe DeCamara had an interesting take: the face that we are learning of this offer […]
By now I am sure we all know that the Flyers have sent a massive 14 year, $110 Million Dollar offer sheet to Shea Webber of the Nashville Predators. Now, while signing one of, if not the best, defensemen in the league would be a great addtion to a Philadelphia Flyers team with an aging […]

Fresh off some encouraging news that catcher Carlos Ruiz will be okay, the Phillies turn to Cliff Lee for game 2 in Toronto. Not okay is Antonio Bastardo, who Madsoned a squat machine. With B.J. Rosenberg optioned out for some catching depth and Bastardo out, the Phillies will need a strong, lengthy performance from Cliff […]

An explosion from the offense thanks to the bats of Jim Thome and Shane Victorino made the Phillies victorious. Game 2 went to poor defense. Jimmy […]
