Vance Worley's inconsistent starts are becoming more and more painful to watch. After just 4 and 2/3, this became a bullpen game. But, the damage had already been done by the Brew Crew by that point. In what felt like the longest fourth inning in baseball history, the Phils scored first before the Brewers took […]
In the preseason opener, Eagles Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie had the hit of the night on Steelers QB Byron Leftwich. However, the referee ruled the hit illegal, and the NFL agreed. According to NBC's Pro Football Talk, Rodgers-Cromartie was fined $21,000 for the hit on Leftwich, as the league ruled that DRC had struck a defenseless […]
You go to work every day, and you work hard. You try to do your best. Do you always have the same effort level? Every minute of every day? Yesterday, 97.5 in Philly, on their digital billboards, called out Jimmy Rollins for his perceived lack of effort running to first on a ground ball where […]
There's a misconception out there, that because the Phillies are still playing baseball, there's a shot of this team coming back. It's a misconception because this team is 54-64. It's a misconception because this team has real flaws. It's a misconception because well, it's just not going to happen. Yes, I know this team came […]
Cliff Lee came so close to that third win tonight. So close. Cliff Lee struck out the side in the bottom of the first inning. You know, a strikeout, another strikeout, two solo home runs, and another strikeout. The solo homers went to Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez, the Phillies killers from the previous Brewers-Phillies […]
ERMAGHERD! JIMMY ROLLINS DIDN'T RUN SO FAST He fessed up today: “I was just upset before I even got up there. I was already out of it. Mentally just upset.” This reminds me one time of back when I had a job. I showed up at Caldor and my cat died. So I walk in […]
Any series win is a good one at this point but wow, was yesterday's game painful. Save for Halladay who threw a half decent seven innings, the team just looked asleep, highlighted by the talk of the town today that Rollins could have spun the wheels a bit harder. I don't know. I can't get […]
Photo: JeffSchrier/The Saginaw NewsWhen Joe Blanton was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on August 3rd, it took most of us off guard. With the trade deadline and rumors of Blanton being traded to Baltimore in the past , it seemed like we would be keeping Big Joe for the remainder of the 2012 season. […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew Ever since the Phillies won the World Series a lot of people have become Phillies fans. For some hardcore Phillies fans this has caused some problems. As a lifelong Phillies fan I have mixed feelings about this issue. So let’s take a minute to put down our Schmitters and $7 dollar beers […]
Jaiquawn Jarrett certainly was not the best on the board when pick 54 rolled around in the 2011 draft. In fact, he wasn't even close. Jarrett played football locally at Temple University, and was named to First-Team all MAC in 2009 and 2010. Although a free safety, Jarrett's run stopping is what had him on […]
