Posted by Mike Frohwirth Joe Blanton is not exactly off to a great start. In Tuesday night's 7-4 loss to the Nationals, Blanton allowed five runs, in six innings. His ERA is an unsightly 10.45. But after two starts, it's too early to worry about the veteran northpaw. A .429 BABIP (league average BABIP is~.300), […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson This game was without a doubt the best of the Phillies-Mets series. Roy Halladay started this day game, and you know how Halladay likes to kill our N.L. East rivals! Doc tossed 7 scoreless innings for the Phils today, allowing only six hits, and issuing one walk, striking out seven. He […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I can’t explain how loud Citizen’s Bank Park was tonight. Why was it so loud? Clifton Phifer Lee started his first game as a Philadelphia Phillie in 2011. Cliff didn’t fail to remind us just how incredible of a pitcher he is. In the first inning, he […]
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 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 As Opening Day quickly approaches, there has been much debate over the Phillies' batting order. While Manager Charlie Manuel has employed a variety of different lineups during Spring Training, his main objectives have been to get his starters plate appearances against MLB-likely pitchers, and to evaluate other players' suitability for bench […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Today, the Phillies traveled to Sarasota to play some Baseball with the Baltimore Orioles at Ed Smith Stadium. Cliff Lee started this game for the Phillies, while the Orioles put starter Jeremy Guthrie on the mound. Here are the scoring plays of the game: 1st inning: Raul Ibanez […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Photo courtesy of CBSPhilly.com On this lovely Saturday afternoon, the Phillies and Rays went at it at Bright House Networks Field. Kyle Kendrick took the mound for the Phils, but there was also a split-squad game played against the Pirates in Bradenton in which Vance Worley started. Some notes: Charlie Manuel […]
Posted by Laurie Dougherty Fresh off their first World Series championship in 28 years, in November 2008, the Phillies front office made the difficult decision to not re-sign fan favorite Pat Burrell. Yes, Burrell had been a top draft pick for the Phillies and certainly had contributed his share of big moments, including setting […]
We hate the Yankees. But we love Raul Ibañez. We are indifferent to the Orioles, but love Jim Thome. Right? Last night's thriller in New York saw Raul Ibañez hit the game-tying home run in the bottom of the 9th inning with one out off of 51-save closer Jim Johnson, and then a walkoff shot […]
