Well, last week I got the Cardinals series right, and the Reds one way wrong. The Phillies are 8-11, and celebrate 20 games of baseball tonight. The Pirates come in for four, and then the Phillies head up to Gotham, to visit our friends in Queens, the Mets. Here's the match-ups for the week: Philadelphia […]
It wasn't too long ago when Jonathan Pettibone's name appeared among the annoyingly titled group they dubbed "baby aces" alongside Jarred Cosart, Trevor May, Julio Rodriguez, and Brody Colvin. Three of them habe been dealt away and one has really struggled the past few seasons. Pettibone is the last man standing and the first to […]
Compared to Friday's game, last night's game was just absolutley pitiful. The Phillies managed just three hits, their first coming in the bottom of the fifth. Lance Lynn held the Phillies in check, yielding just one hit through seven innings. Cliff Lee was held accountable for last night's game as he allowed five […]
The May Phanatic of the Month Bobble Head This weekend is the Phillie Phanatic's annual birthday celebration. And, knowing Phoebe Phanatic is on a plane enroute to Philadelphia for tomorrow night's festivities, it seems appropriate to take a look at the May, "Phanatic of the Month" Bobble Head, which is all about Mom. […]
Let's face it, the Phillies kind of stink. I mean, they don't full blown stink, but their style of play has been disheartening to say the least. The offense is particularly horrific. I've racked my brain for ways to quick fix this team right now. We cannot wait until next year. We have to get […]
A day after being formally eliminated from playoff consideration, the Flyers head to Carolina to face the Hurricanes, four games away from the end of a disappointing season. Philadelphia (19-22-3) has struggled all season with injuries and underperforming players. Until a few weeks ago, when they won four straight, they could not muster up enough solid, […]
The Phillies were looking to snap a four-game losing streak tonight, and that wouldn't be too difficult of a task with a sharp Roy Halladay on the mound. It didn't take very long for the Phillies to jump ahead of Jaime Garcia and the Cardinals. They scored five in the bottom of the first, here's […]
He's back! Tonight the Phillies announced that they have recalled left-handed reliever Joe Savery from AAA Lehigh Valley, according to the Allentown Morning Call's Mandy Housenick. Savery will fill the roster spot vacated by John Lannan, who heads to the 15-day disabled list. Just earlier I pretty much ruled Savery out since the Phillies have […]
After a three-game sweep from the Cincinnati Reds, the Phillies started a blank slate tonight at Citizens Bank Park against the Cardinals. Cole Hamels and Adam Wainwright squared off tonight. The Cardinals jumped ahead to a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth after Yadier Molina doubled to score Matt Holliday and Allen Craig. […]
(Photo: Kevin Durso/Philliedelphia)After coming out of their six-game road trip 2-4, the Phillies (6-9) are back home tonight to host the St. Louis Cardinals (8-6) for a four-game set. With offense being an issue lately, there are other concerns that the Phillies must tend to – including John Lannan. Lannan started last night's game against […]
