With a split of the first two games in this series, it's not very surprising that the Phillies were victorious in Cole Hamels' start, but defeated in Kyle Kendrick's outing. And yet, neither pitcher played much of a factor in the result. On Friday, the team made their comeback toward victory after Hamels was lifted […]
#453603804 / gettyimages.com The Phillies shipped starting pitcher Roberto Hernandez to the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 7th, their only trade before or after the trade deadline. In exchange, the Phillies received two players to be named later. The teams have named one, and he is a much higher draft pick than one might […]
#453701682 / gettyimages.com Early this morning, the Phillies (54-69) took game one over the Giants (64-58) in extra innings. Phillies sent Kyle Kendrick (5-11 4.90 ERA) to the hill looking to get back on track. Kendrick hasn’t won a game since July 25th. Tim Hudson (8-9 3.03 ERA) got the start for the Giants. […]
The Phillies geared up to face the San Francisco Giants. Tim Hudson was on the mound, and Ryan Howard was out of the lineup. We were all told very plainly by Phillies Manager Ryne Sandberg that Darin Ruf was going to play: But Darin Ruf, just up from Triple A, is at first […]

Asche's two-run shot tied the game in the eighth following the departure of Madison Bumgarner The Phillies didn't exactly impress in the early goings of Friday's series-opening game against the San Fransisco Giants, but behind a solid start from Cole Hamels and a clutch offensive performance from Cody Asche, they managed to eek out a […]
"Where's Chris Wheeler?" I wondered in recent days. Upon Wheels' firing by Comcast Sports Net, we were told that Wheels would remain a part of the Phillies organization and continue to be, as he put it, "be Chris Wheeler". Yet, once his public address announcing during Spring Training ended, we have seldom heard […]

Following the two-game sweep at the hands of Anaheim, Philadelphia will have their best chance at a rebound in tonight's game. Their ace, Cole Hamels, takes to the mound in the ten o'clock contest. These […]
Beloved former Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel is the next to get in on the ice bucket challenge.
