It had to happen sometime. Phillies right hander Vance Worley has been placed on the DL after months of pitching with bone chips in his right elbow. Worley is expected to have surgery to remove the bone chips within the next 10 days. The 24 year-old pitcher has been a shell of his 2011 self […]
The bone chip in Vance's elbow is not affecting his pitching, according to Vance. But, his performance has been on a downhill spiral for the entire month of August. In his previous four starts, Vance went 0-3 allowing at least six hits in all of those starts. It didn't get much better tonight. In the […]
Earlier tonight, Reading Phillies OF Darin Ruf hit his 37th home run of the season. The home run tied him with Ryan Howard for the single-season record at Reading.

Roy Halladay is still not 100% the old Roy Halladay, but tonight he proved that he is still a gamer and went right after the Washington Nationals as the Phillies took the game 4-2. The Phillies struck first in the bottom of the first. Jimmy Rollins led off with a walk, and Kevin Frandsen singled. […]

First off, I have to give more than a golf clap to Kyle Kendrick as of late. For the fist time in my life, I found myself comfortable with him on the mound in a 1-0 game. He's in some kind of groove right now and looks more confident than ever. Quite a place to […]
