Posted by Mike Frohwirth (The following email was sent to Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. after the Opening Day roster was announced.) Courtesy prorumors.com Ruben, I just wanted to drop you a note to congratulate you on a strong offseason. You did a really great job this year. Signing Cliff Lee? Amazing. I don't […]
Posted by Stephen Gallo Phillies fever! This song is a fan favorite over here at Philliedelphia. This song originated in 1976 and was actually performed by players; Mike Schmidt, Larry Bowa, Dave Cash, Gary Maddox, and Greg "The Bull" Luzinksi. Could you imagine players these days getting together to sing such a cheesy, yet catchy, […]
(Posted by Mike Frohwirth) (Spoiler Alert: This post was written on November 4th, 2011. It contains an account of the 2011 Phillies' season.) For the Phillies, the 2010 season was a bad one for injuries. But if 2010 was a "bad" one for injuries, what was the 2011 season? "Dreadful?" "Ghastly?" I think I'll go […]
(Posted by Mike Frohwirth) That post title doesn't seem too believable, does it? If there's one topic that pretty much all Phillies fans can agree on, it's Kyle Kendrick's suckitude. Last night, I was in a NE Philly bar, and met a gentlemen who thinks differently. After some conversation, he indicated that he was an […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth The Phillies came from behind in an exhilarating win today, on a pinch-hit, walkoff single by John Mayberry, Jr. Trailing 4-2, entering the bottom of the ninth inning against Houston Astros closer Brandon Lyon, the Phillies bunched together six singles for the win. Reliever Danys Baez recorded the win, holding Houston […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Photo courtesy of Philadelphia-Phillies.mattters.com Today, the Phillies visited the Rays in Port Charlotte, where Luis Castillo made his not-so-much anticipated Phillies debut. You've already read about how his first at-bat was an upsetting ground out, but what about his other 3 at-bats? Well, he grounded out 2 more times and popped […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Photo courtesy of Phillies.com Monday, February 28, Phillies beat the BlueJays 6-3. First off, all Polanco does is (expletive) hit. The man is destined to reach 300 hits this season. Dom Brown on the other hand, needs to work out some things. As of Monday, Dom was 0-9 with 6 strikeouts. […]
It was a game that Phillies fans will be looking forward to when inter-league games begin: a Phillies-Red Sox game with the Phillies being the victorious adversary. Before the game this afternoon, Ruben Amaro Jr. stated that the Red Sox are “the best team in Baseball.” Alright. Cole Hamels took the mound today at City […]
Posted by Jorge Suarez Courtesy nydailynews.com Former Philadelphia Phillies emergency catcher Jayson Werth, continued to spew venom at the team who gave him a chance to reestablish his career, won him a World Series ring, and made him a millionaire. Earlier in the day in a piece in the Washington Times, Werth told reporter Thomas […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Photo courtesy of Pennlive.com Today, February 27th, the Phillies played at home against the Yankees (yes, again) and this game was not a victorious one for the Phils. Joe Blanton started this game against Yankees’ starter Ivan Nova, and out of the two, I’d say Joe Blanton put on a […]
