Photo Credit: Kevin Durso, Philliedelphia I have no problem admitting that my personal belief is that the Philadelphia Phillies should come as close to "blowing up" their team as possible without venturing into that forsaken zone of mediocrity. It's part of the baseball life cycle—players get old and expensive; teams need to rebuild. "Old" and […]
The Phillies have certainly showed signs of life in the first seven games of this 10-game home stand, going 5-2 against the Braves and Nationals. Kyle Kendrick was spectactular last night, allowing an earned run over seven innings to give the Phillies a 3-1 win over the Nats and a 3-1 series win. Tonight the […]
Kyle Kendrick got a tough assignment tonight. He was handed a sloppy defense that made four errors (three on an especially not sharp Chase Utley) and for the most part didn't really hit much either. Yet over seven frames, Kendrick held the Nationals to five hits and one run. He was on his game and […]
This was by far the 76ers best game in the Orlando Pro Summer League… and they still lost. The Sixers fell to the Magic this afternoon, 90-89, at the hand of star rookie, Victor Oladipo. Oladipo took Sixers' rookie, Michael Carter-Williams, one-on-one with the final seconds of the game dwindling down. With MCW in his […]
The Phillies are currently 4-2 on this home stand – two from Atlanta and two from Washington. With last night's loss the Phillies fell back to 44-47 and remained 7 1/2 games out of first in the NL East. Cliff Lee was suprisingly hittable last night, allowing four solo home runs (two sets of back-to-backs) […]
With Cliff Lee on the mound Wednesday, the Phillies had a great chance to not only make it to the .500 mark again, but also to make up ground on the division-leading Braves, who lost 6-2 to the Marlins today. Instead, the Nationals managed capitalize on a few Lee mistakes in the form of four […]
The Sixers, led by new general manager Sam Hinkie, made several bold moves in the 2013 NBA Draft. To start, they dealt All-Star guard Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans for the rights to Nerlens Noel, who many people originally projected to be the top pick in the draft. In addition to Noel, the […]
When the Philadelphia Phillies opened their current 10-game homestand last Friday, they were marked as "sellers" with the trade deadline rounding into view at month's end. Following impressive series victories against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Atlanta Braves, however, Ruben Amaro Jr. and company have maintained a "buyer's" mindset. Tonight, the Phillies (45-46) will attempt to […]
Darren “Dutch” Daulton underwent brain surgery last month to remove two tumors. Results from the testing has come back… and he has Glioblastomas, a form of malignant and aggressive brain cancer. According to the statement released by 97.5 FM The Fanatic, he has returned to the Clearwater area to continue to recover surrounded by his […]
The Sixers were unable to achieve their first win today in this year's Orlando Pro Summer League, as they fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 74-62. Jeremy Lamb lit it up for OKC, as he torched the Sixers for 32 points on 10-14 shooting and 9-10 from the line. The Sixers had no answer for […]
