Courtesy The Chronicle of Lewis County, Washington More pitching, though this one appears to have some bat too. The Phillies have used their second pick, number 54 overall to select RHP Mitch Gueller. This pick was the one the Phillies received for letting Raul Ibanez go to the Yankees. He is the gift of Ibanez […]
Phillies IF/OF Michael Martinez was reinstated from the disabled list tonight and optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley. This means behind him on the depth chart was: Hector Luna Pete Orr Mike Fontenot This makes me wonder: was it worth carrying Martinez all last year when he clearly is not better than the collection of […]
The Phillies had one more game in Flushing (like "flushing a toilet"), New York at Citi Field and the series was at stake. Dillon Gee went up against Cliff Lee who can't buy a win for the Phillies. Well, Cliff Lee did not win again. The 1st inning was a little rocky for Lee, giving […]
Fan favorite Jamie Moyer was designated for assignment by the Colorado Rockies this afternoon. Moyer came all the way back from Tommy John surgery to win a game at age 49, but Moyer won just one more after that for the Rockies. All in all Moyer was 2-5 with a 5.70 ERA. If Moyer did […]

He wrote his most recent piece about the occasional push for the Athletics baseball franchise to return to Philadephia. Goldman, a transportation planner with a graduate degree […]
Last night, Cliff Lee and Shane Victorino had an altercation in the dugout. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal, right? Happens all the time. Nobody had anything to say about it after the game. The problem isn't the argument. The problem is, one of the Phillies' strengths has been their […]
Yesterday was an eventful day for the Phillies: Cliff Lee pitches seven strong innings and goes 2 for 3 at the plate. Carlos Ruiz blocks the plate and Yadier Molina Juan Pierre tied the game with a double in the 7th Hunter Pence hit a 2-run home run off of Jason Motte in the 10th. […]
Last night, Carlos Ruiz caught the Freddy Galvis relay through and held onto the ball as Yadier Molina barrelled down upon him in the 8th inning. Whoever was running the @MLB Twitter account apparently was impressed but managed to offend a bunch of people with their tweet that followed: Why is it offensive? Here are […]
