I've been a 17 game season ticket holder for the Phillies since 1991, so I've seen plenty of bad baseball. There were the Fregosi years that weren't 1993, the Francona years, and even parts of the Bowa years, where you wanted to hit your head off the wall after watching the team. Fregosi did give […]
Well, another week of no progress. At one point this week, the Phillies were over .500 and in second place. They are neither now. They are 8.5 games out of first, and approaching "seller" status. Here's what this week has in front of us: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (31-33, NL East-3) @ MINNESOTA TWINS (27-33, AL Central-4) Where: […]
It seems to be the theme of this year's Phillies squad: Get back to a .500 record. Once again, Jonathan Pettibone and the boys in red went into today's action eyeing an even win-loss total. On the mound for the Brewers was former Phillies Kyle Lohse, whose 1-6 record and near 5.00 ERA seemed to […]
Two men continued their impressive 2013 campaigns. Kyle Kendrick dialed up another quality start and Domonic Brown was pretty much the offense tonight, driving in three runs. The rest of the team looked as they have all season. Streaky. Brown got to Gorzelanny early with a home run but Jean Segura would tie it up […]
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported last night that two sources close to new 76ers' president and general manager Sam Hinke anticipate that Hinkie "will probably find a coach after the draft." In addition, the sources also doubt that Hinkie will have any interest in George Karl as the Sixers' new head coach, saying that Hinkie will prefer a younger […]
The Phillies are above .500 for the first time since last season when they finished 81-80. With their win last night behind Tyler Cloyd, the Phillies also extended their winning streak to five games. Cloyd was solid, throwing 6 2/3 innings of scoreless ball. Although he walked five batters, he was able to keep them from […]
A sweep of the Marlins, a .500 record, and a sub-par team in their path. All of these things bode well for the Phillies going into tonight's contest against the Milwaukee Brewers. Riding a 4-game winning streak and finally sitting at an even record, Tyler Cloyd and his team looked to move toward a higher […]
(Photo: AP/Chuck Burton) The 76ers hosted five prospects today in their latest pre-draft workout. They were: Norvel Pelle, Shabazz Muhammad, Kelly Olynik, Scott Wood, and Mason Plumlee. Most likely, out of these five, you recognize one name. Muhammad will probably go in the top 10, and my colleague Jovan Alford wrote a great piece evaluating […]
The Phillies (30-30) are finally at .500 for the first time since April when they were 6-6. Cole Hamels won his second game of the year, his first since April 28th, yesterday after going a month without a win. Hamels went 7 innings and allowed a run on four hits while striking out 11. A […]
Photo by Rich Wilkins The Phillies went 81-81 last year, and went into this evening at 29-30, which has prompted many people to begin wondering what the sell-off looks like come July. It's probably a little premature, and I know that, but I have too. One name that keeps coming up is Cliff Lee. The […]
