Washington Nationals
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) There are a lot of things I hate. I hate mayonnaise, snakes, racoons, and horse raddish. But there is nothing I hate more than seeing the Phillies being swept. Now, the Phillies came into this "Take Back the Park" weekend with a .500 record and after the first two games, they sit […]
"Take back the park," say the Washington Nationals. "How about I take my foot and take back your ***," says a livid Charlie Manuel (ok, not really). The Phillies' manager was ejected in the bottom of the first inning tonight in Washington for the first time all season after arguing a checked swing from Bryce […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies won their third series of the season yesterday as Joe Blanton was freaking phenomenal against the Braves. A three-hit shutout? I don't know where it came from, but I loved it. Anyway, the Phillies won't play the Braves again until July 6-8, so we'll get back to them later. Tonight, the […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies are coming off of a 4-2 series-opener win over the Braves last night, their second consecutive win. They were unable to give Cole Hamels enough runs to give him the win, but did however manage a way to find victory last night. Tonight, Roy Halladay (3-2, 1.95 ERA) will aim […]
Wikipedia commons Well, the Washignton Nationals felt they needed an offensive boost and called up much-hyped prospect Bryce Harper, reports Mark Zuckerman of CSN Washington. The move comes as third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was placed on the 15 day disabled list. Zuckerman quotes Nationals GM Mike Rizzo, Rizzo: "This was expedited by the circumstances […]
The third place New York Mets may be three games over .500, but they have some bad news to break. Righty Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John Surgery, ending his 2012 season prematurely. Pelfrey, 28, was put on the 15-day DL Tuesday afternoon with elbow soreness that was retroactive to April 22nd. Pelfrey made just […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Another game, another rain delay. That's three in the past four games. Halladay got five innings under his belt before the storms came, but barely made it out alive in the first. He allowed two runs to score, one on Zimmerman's sacrifice fly, and another on Espinosa's RBI single. Carlos Ruiz […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson To put it simply, Cole Hamels just didn't have it tonight, and the Nationals took advantage of that. His struggles started early, walking two in the first inning, but striking out Jayson Werth with two outs and a man on third. Disaster number one averted. In the second inning, Wilson Ramos […]
Posted by Frank Klose Beautiful photoshop by Philliedelphia staff So, the Phillies jettisoned J.C. Romero, and we all knew he would be picked up by someone, since the Phillies are paying most of his salary. But, it looks like they will face him plenty down the stretch, as Romero has signed with the Washington Nationals. […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson On this sweltering Wednesday afternoon, the Phillies completed a three-game series in Washington, which was the rubber match of the series following yesterday's 10-2 loss. Roy Oswalt took the bump today against John Lannan, who is notoriously known for hitting just about every batter in the Phils' lineup. He's 0-10 against […]
