The Phillies are coming off of a series win in San Diego against the Padres. Last night the Phillies pulled out a win in 13 innings. Despite Cole Hamels allowing five earned runs, the Phils were able to tie it up late in the game and take the lead and allowing Jonathan Papelbon the chance […]
The Sixers have just shocked the world. After trading their star player for Nerlens Noel and a draft pick, they select Michael Carter-Williams out of Syracuse. Williams stands 6'6", weighing just over 180 pounds, so he will most likely take over at his natural point guard position. I think this pick could go great for […]
WOW! According to sources, in a stunning move, the Philadelphia 76ers have traded star point guard Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans minutes after the Pelicans took Nerlens Noel #6 overall. Noel was at the top of most mock drafts, but slid to the Pelicans at 6, probably due to the uncertainty […]
Michael Young and Roy Halladay are no longer the oldest players on this team. This afternoon the Phillies acquired 38 year-old infielder John McDonald from the Cleveland Indians. Yes…38 year-old infielder from the Indians. In a deal that will send cash and a player to be named later to Cleveland, the Phillies have gained depth […]
Per a statement on 97.5 The Fanatic, former Phillies catcher Darren Daulton has been diagnosed with two brain tumors and is to have surgery next week to remove them. Dutch of course is credited with being the team leader of the 1993 team and found a home on the Wall of Fame in 2010. Since […]
Yes, even Delmon could stay. There's been a lot of talk about the Phillies selling off the team at the deadline to whoever wants these guys. The sense is, the team stinks, and it's old, and it's expensive, so they have to blow it up. Even I've bought into it so far. Let me take […]
Cole Hamels started the game with two hitless innings, and it went downhill from there. He went 6 innings, allowed 7 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned runs, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts, and 1 homer. His line was not terrible tonight, but his pitch placement was. He was putting the ball dead center over the plate […]
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Why am I belting out Tom Jones lyrics in tonight's game preview? Cole Hamels returns to his hometown of San Diego, CA looking to right the ship that has gone way off course during […]
Two top Phillies prospects Jesse Biddle and Maikel Franco, both currently in Double-A Reading have been selected for the 2013 Futures Game (played during All-Star Weekend) at Citi Field in New York. It's long been a great event that showcases some of the best prospects in the game. Biddle (ranked by many as the number […]
It was announced a short while ago that the Phillies signed veteran reliever Mike MacDougal. His numbers of late suggest he was strictly signed up to bolster the Iron Pigs bullpen in Lehigh Valley which is stocked kind of light seeing as most of them are in San Diego as major leaguers right now. MacDougal […]
