Cole Hamels had another strong outing wasted by little run support. Still it continues a nice streak of good outings. Hamels threw 82 pitches over 7 innings, allowing just 2 runs and probably could have gone further had the situation demanded a pinch hitter. Chase Utley, celebrating his reported extension, would tie the game up. […]
It's pretty sad that with this team, a four-run lead isn't good enough to breathe easily. Last night the Phillies led the Cubs 9-5 headed into the top of the ninth inning and after Jonathan Papelbon allowed three runs to score (two earned) the Phillies were able to clinch their first win in nearly a […]
Remember that huge news about the Phillies signing Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez after another demoralizing loss a few weeks ago? If not, then that may be a good thing. Per Todd Zolecki the deal is in limbo and might not happen at all. A few days ago I had heard that Gonzalez was waiting […]
Hey guys. Domonic Brown is back. And there's a game tonight. At this point, about half the people that were still clinging to the team after last season have hopped off the bandwaggon at this point. For those of us too brainwashed dedicated to stop watching, we're in for 50+ games of, well, nothing. Speaking […]
Off days are becoming more and more enjoyable when you talk about the Phillies. After getting swept by the Braves this past weekend the Phillies keep sinking deeper and deeper into the cellar. 11 games under .500 and God only knows how far back in the division they are, they will look for some positive […]
Domonic Brown has been activated from the DL after suffering a concussion back on July 23rd in St. Louis. Brown, who had been hitting .271 with 24 HR and 69 RBI before headed to the DL, went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in his rehab start with Class-A Lakewood. In response to […]
After yesterday's reports that Phillies' reliever Antonio Bastardo had been handed and accepted a 50-game suspension due to his activitiy related to the Biogenesis scandal, the Phillies need a replacement. This afternoon, the Phillies selected the contract of 29-year-old, left-handed pitcher Cesar Jimenez. Jimenez, who is 4-2 with a 3.12 ERA in 36 games with […]
Philliedelphia photo by Kevin Durso Antonio Bastardo's suspension today was both shocking and not. It was shocking because I hadn't heard his name connected to Biogenesis prior to today. It wasn't shocking because this season has been a disaster, of course this would happen, and Bastardo's performance over the last several seasons suggests some changing […]
Wikipedia Commons photo by UCInternational andgbrunett. It's popular right now to beat on Alex Rodriguez right now, and I'm not a Yankees fan (I don't really care about them), so it's easy for me. I believe Alex Rodriguez used PEDs, in part because we all know he did the first time he tested positive. Having […]
Courtesy Main Line Autographs Dan Meyer ,who had a brief stint with the Phillies in Spring Training in 2011, is among those who isn't exactly thrilled with the news of Antonio Bastardo's connection to Biogenesis and suspension today. He tweeted the following: Now in all honesty, I'm not sure Meyer ever had much of a […]
