Pittsburgh Pirates
The Phils looked strong last night. Jimmy Rollins is smoking hot and Carlos Ruiz is still Carlos Ruizing it. By the way, you should really vote for Chooch for the All-Star Game. Seriously do it. Anyway, the Phils took game one of four by a score of 8-3 last night. Joe Blanton was solid while […]
The following is a special guest post from "Frat House Mike". Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew The Philadelphia Phillies are not having a very good season. Currently, they are in last place in the NL East – are 35-40, 5 games under .500 – are playing .467 ball – are 8 games behind the East leading Washington […]
After dropping both games of a day-night double-header yesterday, the Phillies were looking to shake off the rust and start off a four-game series with the Pirates on the right foot. Joe Blanton was looking for his seventh win on the season tonight, and would do so against Jeff Karstens. Runs would be surprisingly […]
It's pretty sad that it's almost July and the Phillies are still in last place. Sitting six games under .500 (34-40) and sitting 9 games behind in the NL East, it's really tough to see this team accomplishing anything great this season. The Phillies are coming off of a 2-1 series loss against the Rays, […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Cliff Lee was being squeezed tonight, no doubt about that. In his first start of the 2012 season, the Pirates were really testing him by taking tons of pitches, and having the strikezone to their advantage. The only change the Phillies made in their lineup tonight was putting Laynce Nix at first base […]
Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies started off the season on the right foot with their 1-0 win Thursday, but there are still 161 games left to play. Roy Halladay was outstanding as usual in his Opening Day start. He toyed with the Pirates batters the whole day, allowing just two hits (both in the first inning) […]
Happy Opening Day! The best day of the year for fans of baseball young and old. And what better way to kick off the 2012 season than with multiple pitcher's duels? Not only were the Phillies and Pirates held scoreless through six innings, but the Mets didn't score a run against Tommy Hanson of the […]
Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew Ah, finally, the last game of spring training. It certainly didn't feel like spring at Citizens Bank Park on this chilly evening. But, the buzz of baseball in the air is sure to warm your heart. Much the same of last night's game in this on-deck exhibition series, the fans were able to […]
(Photo Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies welcomed themselves back home last night with a 4-3 win over their cross-state rival Pittsburgh Pirates. In last night's On Deck game, small ball played the key factor in the Phillies' win. The Phils scored four runs on seven hits last night, including Juan Pierre's lead off double which resulted […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Despite this series being the finale of spring training, it's still an exciting two-game exhibition series because it's being played at home, Citizens Bank Park. The Pirates have come to town for two nights before making their way back to Pittsburgh to take on the Phillies for Opening Day. Joe Blanton […]
