Jimmy Rollins watches the season fly away A walk off win always hurts. Last night, the Phillies were on the losing end of one of those against the Dodgers, putting them down 2-1 in the four game series. Trying to leave SoCal with a series split, Kyle Kendrick took the mound against Dodger Stephen Fife. […]
Despite Chase Utley's two home runs last night it was not enough for the Phillies, who fell to the Dodgers in walk-off fashion. Cliff Lee gave up three runs on four hits through seven innings last night and struck out 10 hitters. He was on the hook for the loss, but with a Jimmy Rollins […]
The Phillies players with the largest-dollar contracts in Phillies history have not been their top-dollar selves this season. And now they are being asked to sit. First baseman Ryan Howard sat out the Phillies' Friday and Saturday contests in Los Angeles. Cole Hamels will be next: the left-hander will be skipped in the rotation, according […]
According to a report in the New York Post, the Phillies have two teams interested in acquiring Michael Young: the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. The Yankees and Red Sox have both been depleted by injury in their infields and Young is a versatile option. That could be why the Red Sox […]
The Phillies certainly got their work in offensively last night. With 21 hits as a team and scoring 16 runs, the Phillies ended the first half of the season with a blow out win over the Dodgers. John Lannan pitched seven solid innings, allowing just an earned run on five hits to win his first […]
The Phillies rebounded from a tough loss yesterday by absolutely demolishing Los Angeles' pitching staff in support of John Lannan Friday, managing 21 hits in a 16-1 win.

Right-handed pitcher Carlos Zambrano left the Triple-A game today after two innings because of “serious” pain in his right shoulder. Ruben Amaro Jr. says that they will “continue to evaluate him” for the Phillies. Amaro mentioned that he would like to see him as a starter, but that bullpen work may be in his future. […]
John Lannan had a rough outing last time out. He gets a shot at redemption vs. a hot Dodgers line up which is being fueled by extremely hot rookie, Yusiel Puig. Not since the days of Vladimir Guerrero have a seen a hitter who seemed like he could hit just about anything. It's a really […]
When the Phillies traded for utility infielder John McDonald, many speculated that utility infielder Freddy Galvis could be headed to the minors. After the Phillies 6-4 loss to the Dodgers Thursday, Galvis was optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley. Presumably, the move is to get Galvis regular playing time. This could precipitate some possible trade deadline […]
Quite obviously, the first game of the series against the San Diego Padres did not end as the Phillies, and their fans, had hoped. However, the team did rally to secure the next two games, meaning they headed into their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a series win. Hoping to extend the small […]
