Toronto Blue Jays
After dropping the first two games of this series in Toronto, the Phillies will turn to Kyle Kendrick in an effort to prevent the sweep. Yesterday was just another example of bad luck and bad baseball. Cliff Lee had everything going for him. A nice lead, a good pitch count, and a chance to finally […]
Well it hasn't happened yet. Cliff Lee is still winless. We'll get short and to the point today. The Phillies scored five runs, including a three-run shot by John Mayberry Jr. in the third inning. Cliff Lee allowed three runs on a season-high 12 hits over seven innings against the Blue Jays today. Lee had […]
Oh, Canada. The Blue Jays have been very unlucky this past week with the loss of Brandon Morrow due to a left oblique strain, and Kyle Drabek with a torn UCL. Both are on the 15-day DL as of right now, but both injuries are likely substantial. As if losing two starters isn't bad enough, […]
Ah, the Great White North. Free health care, funny accents, polar bears and maple syrup. The Phillies went through customs last night and tonight they will open up a three-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays. After winning the three-game series with the Twins, the Phillies are 31-34 and sit 9 games behind the Nationals […]

The Phillies lost the nearly four hour game to the Yankees, 13-9 and brought their Spring record down to 12-15-3. Today, Roy Halladay (1-1, 5.40 ERA) will make his final Grapefruit […]

The offensive outburst in the sixth inning helped the Phillies push past the Yankees, who had beat them the first two previous matchups over the weekend. Today, the Phillies will not play the […]
Posted by Frank Klose Some thoughts while I eat my lunch. How likely is it that Ryan Madson could accept salary arbitration from the Phillies? Since the Texas Rangers signed Joe Nathan, I feel like the odds are increasing. The following free-agent closer options exist: Ryan Madson Heath Bell Frank Francisco Francisco Cordero Matt Capps […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Daylife.com This post was appropriately titled "Damn it, Kendrick!" before a power surge from the Phillies' bats in the ninth inning lifted them to a 7-6 win over the BlueJays on Canada Day. Kyle Kendrick allowed two runs to score in the first inning on Encamacion's double. Ben Francisco […]
