Posted by Mike Frohwirth When the Phillies acquired Joe Blanton in July of 2008, I wasn't exactly enthused. Partially because I probably overrated Josh Outman and Adrian Cardenas, two of the three prospects dealt for Blanton. But mostly because I perceived Blanton to be an "innings-eater who didn't actually eat too many innings", who had […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Another wild game on Tuesday night. It’s not too often that a team takes a seven-run lead in the bottom of the 3rd inning, and goes on to blow that lead by the top of the fifth. The Phillies’ Win Expectancy was 97.4% after three innings, and 56.5% after four and […]

You think the Philadelphia Phillies have the best rotation. Think Again! These group of guys are a must watch this year. Believe me. It’s baseball season! Oh wait, no it’s not. […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I am a Shane maniac and have come to terms with this. The following is a recap of all things Shane in the past week. Let me start off the first week of "Insane For Shane" by getting this across: I am madly in love with Shane Patrick Victorino. It started […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson This game was without a doubt the best of the Phillies-Mets series. Roy Halladay started this day game, and you know how Halladay likes to kill our N.L. East rivals! Doc tossed 7 scoreless innings for the Phils today, allowing only six hits, and issuing one walk, striking out seven. He […]

Posted by Mike Frohwirth Very impressive 11-0 win by the Phillies on Thursday afternoon. Seven scoreless frames from Roy Halladay, a 4 for 4 day from Wilson Valdez (!), and two-hit games from Shane Victorino, Placido Polanco, and Jimmy Rollins paced the Phils' 16-hit demolition of the Mets. Not a lot of strategy to […]
