Placido Polanco
Shane Victorino and starting pitcher Zack Greinke are among the few being scouted tonight, Jim Salisbury reports. Victorino is the talk of most trade situations that could happen for the Phillies before the trade deadline. He's not alone, there have also been rumors of dealing away Pence or Polanco. Zack Greinke has found himself in […]
MLB Trade Rumors is reporting something not terribly new, that the Orioles have interest in Placido Polanco. While this isn't new, it is exciting. The Phillies should go down this road, and get a deal done. I'm just not sure it's as exciting as you think. Yes, on the positive side, this is a no-brainer. […]
This isn't happening in 2012. Sell. With their 12 inning win over the Giants in game three on Sunday, the Phillies salvaged a game in the series with the NL West leaders. This means the Phillies are 5-4 since the All-Star break, despite not really having a lot of time with all their big guys […]
Although they couldn't seal the sweep, the Phillies are coming off of another series win. Their second in a row. On Wednesday, Cliff Lee was fantastic over eight innings. The offense, on the other hand, was not so fantastic. They were only able to push one run across the plate and it cost them in […]

Joe Blanton was looking for his seventh win on the season tonight, and would do so against Jeff Karstens. Runs would be surprisingly […]
Cole Hamels and David Price squared off this afternoon in the first game of a double-header. Friday's game was washed out, pushing a game back to 6:35 tonight, and starting this game 30 minutes early. It was a scoreless battle between the Phils and Rays until the sixth inning when Jimmy Rollins jacked a solo […]
Chase Utley went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and played eigth innings in the field in last night's rehab start with Clearwater. He can return to the Phillies no later than July 2. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) There was more than one situation last night when the Phillies could have used Chase Utley's bat at the […]
Joe Blanton took the hill tonight against the Rockies, looking to take this series from them and earn his seventh win on the season. It would be a wild ballgame tonight, especially the ending. The Phils scored first this evening in the first inning. Hunter Pence grounded out to score Juan Pierre from third. Wilin […]
