Washington Nationals
It's pretty sad that it's almost July and the Phillies are still in last place. Sitting six games under .500 (34-40) and sitting 9 games behind in the NL East, it's really tough to see this team accomplishing anything great this season. The Phillies are coming off of a 2-1 series loss against the Rays, […]
According to the Washington Post's Amanda Comak, former-Phillies closer Brad Lidge has been designated for assignment by the Washington Nationals. Lidge, 35, signed a one-year $1MM deal with the Nationals in the offseason. In 11 appearances (9 1/3 IP), Lidge is posting an 0-1 record with a 9.86 ERA and only two saves. Lidge was […]
It's not hard to tell that the NL East isn't going to be an easy breeze for the Phillies this year. The Nationals are serious contenders and not the joke of the league anymore, the Marlins are re-stocked and re-branded, the Braves haven't really changed a whole lot, and the Mets – well – they're […]
The Phillies won last night's series opener 6-4 and today they'll play in an effort to move 4 games above .500 for the first time this season. Cole Hamels (8-1, 2.43 ERA) has the chance to become the first nine-game winner this afternoon as he takes on the Marlins for the second time this season. […]
I'm feeling lucky today. My high school graduation practice went smoothly, I avoided a car accident on the way home and I won $3 from the lottery. The only thing that blows is that I could be at this game, but I couldn't get off of work. Hopefully most of my luck is with Kyle […]
Just another one of those games in which you'd rather throw your tv out of the window than have to watch Roy Halladay suffer another loss. Charlie Manuel posted his 80,000th lineup of the season… It wasn't one we'll be seeing in more games down the stretch. Hector Luna, tonight's first baseman, hit a ground […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies are back on the losing road. Having lost three straight games, the Phillies will turn to Roy Halladay to break them out of this new skid. The Phillies finally won a game for Halladay after going 0-5 in five straight starts. Tonight they'll look to keep up the run support […]
Remember when Cole Hamels hit Bryce Harper? Harper made Hamels look really bad because he took the mature road and only showed him up by stealing home and making fans' jaws drop. Immaturity among the immature can only hide for so long, and Harper made himself look really bad. Last night after going 0-5 […]
Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo responded to last night's Bryce Harper hit-by-pitch at the hands of Cole Hamels in today's Washington Post blog by Adam Kilgore. “I’ve been I’ve never seen a more classes, gutless chicken [bleep] act in my 30 years in baseball. “Cole Hamels says he’s old school? He’s the polar opposite of old […]
It's not easy listening to an ESPN broadcast in which they frequently mention the "first place Nationals and last place Phillies." But, it is easy to enjoy a defeat of this Nationals team, considering they took the first two games. Prior to the start of the game, ESPN sent out a text alert to those […]
