Spring Training
Posted By Erik Seybold. The Phillies are now at a .500 level in the Grapfruit League. After yesterday's, 7-0 shutout win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Phillies will host the Houston Astros this afternoon. Cliff Lee threw two innings, allowing just two hits, one walk, and a strike out. Along with Lee's efforts, the […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. After yesterday's 8-5 loss to the New York Yankees, the Phillies will make the 17 mile trip to George M. Steinbrenner Field to play the second of three consecutive games against the Yankees. Today, Roy Halladay (2011: 19-6, 2.35 ERA) will take the hill and make the start against the Yankees. […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson What you see here is Raul Ibanez ruining the Comcast broadcast. In a Yankees uniform. Jerk. On a serious note, it was awesome seeing Raul with New York. Good for him. Wednesday's game was essentially a pre-pre-season game. Still a win, but, today's the day that *meaningful* games begin. Let spring […]
Posted by Erik Seybold The Phillies are done B.S-ing around with their little workouts. It's time to start playing some baseball! The Phillies will host the Florida State Seminoles tomorrow afternoon at Bright House Field in Clearwater @ 1:05 PM ET. I honestly don't know if it's being broadcast on TV, but I know it […]

At the plate stood Placido Polanco, Shane Victorino, and John Mayberry. No word on how the three did, but I'm sure Halladay tallied higher. Cliff Lee is back on the hill after suffering […]
Posted by Erik Seybold As full-squad workouts began today and there is injury news already for the Phillies' pitching staff. Righthander Justin DeFratus will be shut down for at least a week due to elbow tenderness. He will be re-evaluated by the team doctor next week.

Posted by: Erik Seybold Photo courtesy of CSNPhilly.com As we all know, Cole Hamels is a free agent at the end of the season. After signing a one-year, $15 million contract extension in January, the big task for the Phillies is to keep Hamels for as long as they can. This afternoon, Hamels had a […]
Posted by: Erik Seybold Pop… Pop… Pop… It's the sound we've all been longing for. The sound of a new slate and the sound of redemption. Today, the Philadelphia Phillies' pitchers and catchers will (or already have) report to Clearwater, Florida to begin exercises and tuning for the upcoming 2012 season. After the Phillies' early dismissal […]
