After last night's disasterous loss to the Padres, it really honestly puzzles me how there can still be any faith left in this team. Cliff Lee was brilliant, allowing just two earned runs (inherited) over eight innings of work. He didn't get the win however, despite striking out seven. Even with a 3-0 lead late […]
In a summer that has seen a record 12 head-coaching changes in the NBA, the 76ers and Celtics are now the sole two teams that have yet to fill that vacancy. New 76ers general manager, Sam Hinkie, has expressed to various sources that he will be taking his time with this coaching decision, and a […]
Us too, Cliff. This game marks the 1,000th game that Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins have played together. They both acknowledged that there was a delay in reaching the milestone because of injuries. Cliff Lee pitched an absolutely great game tonight. He went 8 innings, had 8 hits, 1 walk, and 7 strikeouts. Papelbon […]
The Phillies are coming off of an 8-0 loss to finish off another series loss at the hands of the Mets at Citizens Bank Park. Four games under .500 and even farther out of the NL East race the Phillies will set out on a 10-game road trip in San Diego, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. […]
I wanted to take a moment from my impending deportation from Chile to address Freddy Galvis' walk-off celebration. He kicks butts. He kicks them rather hard. I went back and reviewed the Phillies' walk off wins this year and Freddy kicks the man with the walk off hit right square in the butt every time. […]
Are we back in 1997? Why are we still writing about this team? I don't know, but I don't ever stop caring. Even at 36-40, even when Karma finally bit us and convinced us that we stunk, after losses to the Mets. PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (36-40, NL East-3) @ SAN DIEGO PADRES (38-38, NL West-4) WHEN: MONDAY-WEDNESDAY, […]
If you hadn't heard of Matt Harvey before today's ballgame, you now can't forget him. In a division that already includes young starters like Stephen Strasburg and Julio Teheran, Harvey has become the leader. Already 6-1 (should probably be 9-1) with a 2.16 ERA and a 3.7 WAR, Harvey would be facing the Phils for […]
The Phillies are lucky for Kevin Frandsen. Seriously. While we writers were at the Reading Phillies game last night, our phones blew up with ESPN score updates alerting us that the Phillies had blown a 7-1 lead by letting the Mets tie it 7-7. Astonished, we all believed that the Mets would take the lead […]
Phillies bats woke up this afternoon and gave Pettibone a 6 run lead before leaving with a hurt back. Ryan Howard hit two homers and Michael Young hit one. The bullpen nearly gave that lead up when they allowed 4 runs in the 7th inning. Jon Pettibone pitched 6 innings, had 5 its, 1 […]
The Phillies were unable to defeat a minor-league team last night and opened up this three-game series with the Mets with a 4-3 loss. Cole Hamels was given a three-run lead, but he was unable to keep it as he allowed four earned runs through six innings. Due to the inability to keep the three-run […]
