The Eagles front office continued to stay busy making moves, even after setting the preliminary 53 man roster. Defensive End Darryl Tapp was expected to be on the bubble to make the roster, but took a paycut from his $2.575 salary to stay with the team. Philadelphia claimed OT/G Nathan Menkin from the Houston Texans. […]

Philadelphia will send a conditional 2013 draft pick to the Cleveland Browns in return for Sims. The Eagles waived G Julian Vandervelde to make room on the […]
When the Phillies have a weekend pitching staff of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels, you know it's bound to be a winning series, or maybe a sweep against the Atlanta Braves. All started out swiftly for the Phils. Ryan Howard put up the game's first run in the top of the second with […]
With final cuts due to the league at 9 PM on Friday night, the Eagles front office had to make many hard decisions, as the 75 man roster needed to be cut down to just 53. They have released 20 players so far, and have two left to reach the maximum allowed on their roster: […]

As previously posted, Tyler Cloyd was making his major league debut tonight. In an unexpected spot start for the young righty, the Phillies were sure glad he tossed a solid six innigs to avoid a bullpen game. Matt Harvey, a rookie starter for the Mets surrendered a run in the top of the first, a […]
I remember them trying this when Chase Utley came up and it wasn't all that successful. Then again, his glove in general was rather mediocre. In all honesty I think it's way too early to tell if this is a possibility for 2013 but it's worth exploring. The number one reason being I hate that […]
Photo Courtesy: Jay Floyd – PhoulBallz.com. I was gearing up to write a pretty good game preview for Cole Hamels, who would be making his 26th start of the season tonight. However, due to a stomach illness, Hamels has been scratched from tonight's game. In his place will be International League MVP Tyler Cloyd, who […]
