H/T Jeremy Fischer After a Spring full of questioning and speculation, Roy Halladay took the mound for his first regular season start of 2013. For the Braves, Paul Maholm looked to continue his impressive Spring Training numbers. In the first, Jimmy Rollins blooped a double to left field, but remained at second. Halladay would then […]
In an effort to close up the gap between they and the 8th place Islanders, the Flyers made two trades. The first trade sent LW Harry Zolnierczyk to the Anaheim Ducks for minor league LW Jay Rosehill. No major improvements on either side, as it essentially swaps two depth guys. The second trade comes with […]
Though their reasons are plenty different, Wednessday's upcomming game between the Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens is important for both teams as the regular season nears its end. The Flyers (15-17-3) enter play on a season high-tying 2 game win streak following victories against Boston on Saturday and Washington on Sunday. They are six points […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies didn't necessarily start the season off on a good note, but it doesn't really matter because there are 161 games left to play. Cole Hamels was un-Cole-Hamels-like on Monday, getting tagged for five earned runs on seven hits. The Braves took Hamels deep three times in his first Opening Day start […]
Ender Inciarte's career as a Phillie lasted just one day. This afternoon the Phillies designated the 22-year-old Inciarte for assignment after claiming OF Ezequial Carrera off of waivers from Cleveland. Inciarte managed to beat out Darin Ruf for the final outfielder's spot just last week after a good spring. The Phillies selected Inciarte from the […]

It seems like the minor league affiliates of the Phillies are getting really creative now-a-days. First the Lehigh Valley IronPigs will offer a pee-controlled video game in their restrooms and now, […]
