Cliff Lee made his return to the mound after a lengthy stay on the 60-Day DL. Lee went on the DL as the team was still struggling to stay in the race and comes off it to a team that is all but certain to start selling pieces in the next ten days, possibly including […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Andrew Gillen It has only been 64 days. Just over nine weeks. 92,160 minutes. 5,529,600 seconds. I feel these measurements are worth expanding upon because a Cliff Lee-less Phillies team is not much fun. However, the over two month wait is now coming to a close, and the "mystery team" now has their $120 […]

But there were some casualties: According to Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly, the Phillies made three cuts: Tony Gwynn, Jr. has been designated for assignment Cesar Hernandez has been optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley Koyie Hill has has been outrighted off of […]
Sometimes the parts are greater than the whole. The Philadelphia Phillies team is a total disaster in every way: poor hitting, poor fielding, poor pitching… But yet, the Phillies have many parts that would be more valuable to other teams.

The Phillies continue towards the trade deadline with perhaps the single trade candidate who could bring the best return: pitcher Cole Hamels. Whether the Phillies wish to actually trade Hamels, or are doing their due diligence, remains to be seen. One report this morning seems to indicate that they have set an asking price […]
This season, much like the last few, has been beyond frustrating for starting pitcher Cole Hamels. He's been nothing short of stellar on the mound for the Phillies, and yet, the success does not typically show in the form of a team victory. It had gotten to the point where you could consistently expect seven […]
