It took 50 long, long years but finally the New York Mets have a no-hitter. Lefty Johan Santana tossed the franchise-first as well as career-first no-no tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals. Backed by 8 runs, Santana threw 134 pitches, a career-huigh, to make history. The Mets are now 29-23 on the year. Tonight and […]
Happy Mother's day to all you mothers out there! We here at Philliedelphia appreciate all the hard work you've done in your lives. You've made us people who we are today and for that we thank you. This afternoon, Cole Hamels (4-1, 2.45 ERA), fresh off of his suspension, will make his eighth start of […]
Roy Halladay won his first three decisions of the season, his third win coming on April 16. That was also his last win. The Phillies flat-out do not score runs for Doc. Unfortunately, this pattern would continue as Halladay received the loss. Freddy Galvis drove in the first run of this game in the […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) This is getting old. The Phillies tried to avoid a series split this afternoon in San Diego with Joe Blanton on the mound against reliever-turned-starter Anthony Bass. Some very sluggish defense and poor offense from this team wouldn't help. The Padres would strike first this afternoon thanks to a double from Chase […]

The Padres routed the Phils 5-1 last night, winning their first game at home against the Phillies for the first time since 2008. Roy Halladay wasn't as […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's games like these that really make you wonder how the rest of this season will treat the Phils. Roy Halladay took the mound tonight in the third game of this four-game series against Cory Luebke and the Padres. The Phillies were looking to extend their winning streak in San Diego to 14 […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies have already won the first two of four games against the Padres, totalling their stretch of consecutive wins at Petco Park at 13. The Padres, having only scored just one run during the first two games, will have no easy task tonight either. Reason why? Roy Halladay. Tonight, Doc (3-0, 1.17 […]
Former Cincinnati Red Edinson Volquez took the mound tonight for the Padres against Cole Hamels who has been victorious in recent years in San Diego, his home town. Carlos Ruiz was out of the lineup and will be for the next couple of days with a swollen wrist. A run wouldn't score in this game […]
