Last night was nothing short of disappointing for the Phillies and their fans. For starters, the matchup featured two teams with no chance to punch their ticket into the offseason, leading to very little excitement on either side of the ball. Then, Andrew Cashner was able to go the distance and hold the the Philly […]
With a rather "interesting" gesture and seven-game suspension looming over the team the last 24 hours, the Phillies have made more headlines this late in the season than anyone had anticipated. A series against the Padres may not be the most interesting matchup happening the next few weeks, but the Phillies have been successful in […]

If you were watching on television it happened so quickly and you could only see his back, so you likely did not know what happened. Waiting for Papelbon to react to some boos […]
Kyle Kendrick, possibly making his final start as a Phillie in Citizens Bank Park, ended his home season on a really nice note tonight as the Phillies took the game and the series against Miami.

Back in the summer, when the Phillies took the trip up to PNC […]
Andrew McCutchen and Russel Martin led the Pirates six-run offensive output last evening in support of Vance Worley. The display helped hand Pittsburgh their second victory of the series, and now gives them the opportunity to win three of four from the Phillies going into tonight's ballgame.

With a split in the first two games in the series, the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates had two very different agendas going into both tonight and tomorrow night's games. For the Pirates, it was about both maintaining their second Wild Card spot in the National League and chasing down the St. Louis Cardinals in […]
Monday night, the Phillies had a great chance to open up their series with the Pittsburgh Pirates with a victory. Even after an eighth inning blow up by Kyle Kendrick, a late three-run rally nearly put them into that position. However, it wasn't enough in the eventual 6-4 loss. Last night, they got a bit […]
