Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. Well, the Phillies will have two All-Stars, both of which are well deserved. Normally I'd say a team with a losing record should get one All-Star, but neither of them is undeserving. In the case of Cliff Lee, he's a regular now, headed to his fourth All-Star game, second as […]
The Phillies' offense couldn't get anything going against Braves starter Tim Hudson, and Kyle Kendrick struggled from the beginning as the Phils fell to Atlanta, 13-4, on Saturday night. After a strong start to the season, Kendrick (7-6) continued his struggles in allowing 10+ hits for the second straight start in a row. Kendrick was […]
In an effort to create cap space in order to be able to give Dwight Howard a max contract, the Houston Rockets have been searching desperately for teams to take bad contracts off their hands. They found a partner on Friday evening in Philadelphia. The Houston Rockets have sent their former first round selection, Royce […]
Well they all are but there is no doubt this is an essential homestand for the Phillies where losing is not an option. They had to win this one. Utley scoerd on a throwing error in the 1st. Humberto Quintero had a very strong offensive night with a home run and three RBIs. Ryan Howard […]
Image Credit: Kevin Durso, Philliedelphia On April 26, 2010 the Philadelphia Phillies officially signed their first baseman and cleanup hitter to a mammoth five-year, $125 million contract extension, more than a full season before his previous contract expired. Roughly three years and some change later, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.—whose name is signed all over […]
The Phillies kick off their three-game series against National League East rival and division leader Atlanta Braves tonight at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies enter play eight and a half games behind the Braves for the division lead. But, the Braves have the same record as the current second wild card, the Cincinnati Reds […]
Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. I've been a huge proponent of this team selling off at the deadline. I think they're toast. I think that age and health caught up to them in 2012, and at this point it's clear that time will not be reversed in 2013. There are plenty of fans who think […]
It was gearing up to be one of those games for the Phillies for a while. Hamels ran into a tough third inning where he allowed two runs (one unearned) and had to throw a lot of pitches. But then he found his control again and was dominant for the rest of his seven inning […]
After last night's loss, the Phillies send the struggling yet well rested Cole Hamels to the mound to face Pittsburgh's top prospect Gerrit Cole. We all know of Hamels' woes right now. I am not a W/L guy and don't even feel it's something that should show up in a pitcher's record but when your […]
John Lannan was in and out of trouble for four innings tonight as the Phillies held on to a one run lead that was driven in by Ben Revere. In the 5th, the Pirates finally got to him with a three run blast from Pedro Alvarez. And while they made some noise in the top […]
