John Lannan Returns to Face Washington For First Time After Two Months On DL

Yesterday afternoon the Phils fell 5-2 to the Rockies and lost their second straight game. Jonathan Pettibone was shelled and the Phillies were unable to mount any offense against Jhoulys Chacin. The Phillies are finally back home after a 3-7 road trip in Milwaukee, Minnesota and Colorado. Having won just three of their last 10, the Phillies […]

Where to Re-Start

The 33-37 Phillies are a non-contender. They'll probably be a seller, at least nominally. The thing is, teams that can run routinely a $150 million plus payroll shouldn't be bad, and certainly not for very long. This team needs to re-build quickly, and should be looking to put an improved product on the field in […]

Phils Score 2 Late, Fall to Rockies 5-2

A 33-36 record is a pretty good representation of how the Phillies have played in the last two weeks or so. 5 straight wins, 5 consecutive losses, then 2 wins and another loss leave the team in an awkward position. They're not completely out of the mix, but they aren't running away with it either. […]

Pettibone Lasts Just 3 as Rockies Roll Phills

Following Friday night's dramatic come-from-behind win, the Colorado Rockies absolutely pounded Phillies pitching en-route to a 10-5 loss  Saturday afternoon. Phillies starter Jonathan Pettibone (3-2) looked bad from the beginning, showing poor control and making mistakes high, always a mistake at Coors Field. He has struggled in each of his last few starts, but this […]

After Comeback Win Last Night, Pettibone, Phillies Look To Gain More Ground At Coors Field

So Freddy Galvis was fantastic last night going 2-for-5 with two triples while driving in 4 RBI to help the Phillies win in comeback fashion. Kyle Kendrick was lit up for seven earned runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings. It was Kendrick's worst start of the year, but luckily he was given the no-decision. With […]

Galvis Triples Twice, Records 4 RBI in 8-7 Phillies Win

Picture: Andrew Gillen Let me start this introduction by saying I planned on not writing an introduction. This game seemed to be another typical Phillies game. Fall behind early on, and never really look good enough to catch up. However, this team had a different energy when they were scoring. They were actually entertaining to […]

Kendrick Leads Phils Fresh Off Win Into Colorado To Face Tulo-less Rockies

The Phillies finally won a baseball game last night, snapping a five-game losing streak. The Phillies seem to have one person who can get them out of a rutt and that person is Cliff Lee. Lee tossed seven strong innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits. Lee struck out six and walked one en […]

Papelbon Finishes Twins as Phils Snap Losing Streak

  Cliff Lee pitched seven strong innings, and the Phillies managed to plate a pair of runs in the eigth to defeat the Minnesota Twins 3-2. After two particularly deflating losses to the less-than-intimidating Twins, Lee (8-2), winner of five of his last seven starts, was tasked with ending the Phillies' skid. They entered the game having […]
