Former Phillie and current Rangers pitcher Roy Oswalt got off to a really lousy start for the Rangers this year.  REALLY lousy.    He got six starts and had a 6.49 ERA.  Thanks to the big bats on the Rangers, he actually got three wins.  Clearly he had no business being in the starting rotation, […]

  Early Sunday morning, the Eagles organization was dealt some horrifying news: Andy Reid's son Garrett was found dead in dorm room in Lehigh.

A quick and easy win, just what the doctor ordered for the Phillies.

  Everyone has their stupid Joe Blanton line every time he took the mound and for that reason alone I was almost glad he was traded last night. Talk about a guy who got almost ZERO respect as a Phillie and those insults alone go to show you the bandwagon that engulfed Phillies fandome after […]

Kendrick had not allowed an earned run since June 28th heading into tonight, and he was looking to keep his streak alive. The first run of this ballgame would end Kendrick's scoreless innings pitched […]
