The Phillies are coming off of a three-game sweep over the New York Mets this weekend, their first sweep of the year. With the offense surging, a day off yesterday certainely doesn't prove good timing, but as the Phillies enter tonight's ballgame at 12-14 they are looking to end the month of April on a […]

(Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons) Tonight marks the beginning of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and even though the Flyers aren't playing, the playoff matchups in the first round are interesting. Many expect to see a Chicago vs Pittsburgh matchup in the finals. That is if they both make it out of the first round. These first matchups should […]
Working with his regular catcher for the first time this season, Cole Hamels fought off control issues to win his first game of the season as the Phillies beat the New York Mets 5-1 on Sunday. Hamels, who struck out eight in six innings, fell behind early against the Mets, who took the lead early […]

Coming off a solid major league debut, Jonathan Pettibone seemed primed to pitch well against the Mets, and pitch well he did. On a sunny afternoon at Citi Field, the Mets and Phillies battled it out on FOX (without Joe Buck in the booth). It turned out to be a beautiful day for Charlie Manuel's […]
After a fairly nice debut from Jonathan Pettibone on Monday, the young hurler looks to build upon that this afternoon at Citi Field as the Phillies seek a much needed series win. After losing 3/4 to the Pirates, I'd even call a sweep essential right now. Facing Pettibone is Shaun Marcum, making his Mets […]
After three brutal losses to Pittsburgh, Kyle Kendrick threw a beauty tonight in Citi Field. He kept the Mets off balance the whole game, allowing just three hits and one walk. Really can't emphasize how important it was. The bullpen needed to rest up, the offense has been shaky and they just needed a start like […]
