This was a must-win for the Phillies, no doubt about that. Being three games back in the second wild card spot with 16 left to play, the Phils had to beat the last-place, worst in MLB Astros. Luckily, the Phils backed up Roy Halladay with some early offense. In the top of the first inning, […]
OK – this isn't exactly a preview because the game is already started. Erik stepped on a nail and is in the E.R., so he could not preview the game. We wish him well! This piece really is intended to look at today's action and what it could mean for the Phillies. Last night […]

Have we found Kyle Kendrick's kryptonite in the Houston Astros? It seems like it. Kyle and Dallas Keuchel squared off tonight in the third game of this four-game series. Kendrick has been wonderful for most of the 2012 season. Tonight was just a bump in the road, like it normally is against the Astros. In […]
Last night, the Phillies made up for Friday's 6-4 loss to Houston. Scoring 12 runs against the Astros to even up the series. Along with getting their winning game back last night, the Phillies advanced to three games back in the NL Wild Card race. Cole Hamels lasted seven innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on […]
There are a lot of factors that could lead to a Stanley Cup Championship for the Flyers but there's one that stands out the most. Young forwards. The Flyers top player, Claude Giroux, is only 24-years-old. He has a long career ahead of him. He's a guy who will help the team in any way. He had […]
Last night, the Phils dropped their first game in over a week, snapping a seven-game win streak, and propelling them back four games in the Wild Card race. In the early goings, it looked like the Phillies victory: a four-run lead against a pathetically weak offense in the Astros. Nope. The Astros would slowly come […]
A change of scenery and a new mission: Chase the St. Louis Cardinals. Entering tonight's game in Houston, the Phillies were three games back in the second wildcard. So, a four-game series against the Astros sounds like the perfect time to gain some ground, right? The Phillies got the ball rolling in the second inning […]
Roy Oswalt may have signed with a contending team, but he himself hasn't really helped. The 35 year-old veteran signed a one-year contract worth $5,000,000 with the Texas Rangers in early June. Declining the Phillies' higher-waged offer, Oswalt decided to pitch where he pitched almost his entire career: Texas. So far, Oswalt is 4-6 with […]
Let's face it. The Phillies are red hot. With yesterday's win the Phillies inched closer to the Wild Card. Cliff Lee fell behind in the sixth, but Jimmy Rollins and his red-hot bat brought the Phils back and helped them overcome the Marlins. After a six-game homestand sweep against the Rockies and Marlins, the Phillies […]
