This afternoon's tragedy hit American citizens hard everywhere. This afternoon, at least two bombs exploded near the finish line at the 2012 Boston Marathon. Two were killed and hundreds more are injured. In what is viewed as a terrorist attack on our country, it has affected many lives – including Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon. Papelbon, […]
The Phillies are coming off of their second-straight series win of the year after the Roy Halladay of old returned against the Marlins yesterday. The Good Doctor threw 8 strong innings, allowing an earned run on five hits while walking one and striking out two to notch his 200th career win. After a 2-1 series […]
Photo by Rich Wilkins It's time for week three. Two series, two playoff teams from a year ago.

In the final game of this three-game series against the Marlins, Roy Halladay was able to settle down and dominate against Kevin Slowey and the Fish. The Phillies wouldn't put a run up on the board until the sixth inning when Ryan Howard doubled, and was brought home with an RBI single from Michael Young. […]
The Phillies were on the short end of the stick last night. It was a tough-luck loss, but at least it wasn't a blowout loss. Cole Hamels allowed an earned run on three hits through six innings, four of which were no-hit innings. He didn't take the win, but he did improve drastically from his […]
Cole Hamels was looking to get out of his funk this evening against the lowly 1-9 Marlins. Jose Hernandez was coming off of a very strong outing and looked to keep his hot streak going. Through four innings, Hamels was working with a no-hitter. However, Adeiny Hechavarria ruined the bid in the bottom of the […]
The Phillies won last night's series opener in late innings thanks to a Chase Utley triple. Clutch. It looks like the Phillies may have found their groove with the way the Phillies have been playing lately. Although it's three games, it's way better than the way they began the season. John Lannan has been great […]
With John Lannan and Ricky Nolasco on the hill making the start, it was sure that either tonight would be a slugfest, or tonight would be a pitcher's duel. Tonight's series opener was indeed a pitcher's duel through out most of the game. Ben Revere led off the game with a single, but was stranded on […]
After a long Thursday break day, the Phillies are ready to get back to playing some baseball. The Phils are coming off of their first series win of 2013 after taking two of three from the New York Mets at home. The Phils routed the Mets 7-3 on Wednesday behind Kyle Kendrick and some big […]
From Rat Marlins Back in 1991, my dad decided to get a 16 game (that was the size at the time) season ticket plan in section 205 at the Vet. We proceeded to watch some of the worst baseball teams assembled through the 90s, and it was a damn struggle. I learned to "boo" a […]
