According to early reports from ESPN's Buster Olney, the lefthander and the Phillies have agreed to a six-year, $144MM contract extension. Hamels and the team will announce the deal in a press conference later on this morning at CBP. Late last night, word broke out […]
Danielle Wilson/Philliedelphia This didn't look promising from the sixth inning on, but another burst of offense would lead the Phillies to another comeback win, as crazy as it sounds. Another rough start to tonight's game led the Brewers to scoring the first run. This happened in the top of the first when Corey Hart singled […]
Shane Victorino and starting pitcher Zack Greinke are among the few being scouted tonight, Jim Salisbury reports. Victorino is the talk of most trade situations that could happen for the Phillies before the trade deadline. He's not alone, there have also been rumors of dealing away Pence or Polanco. Zack Greinke has found himself in […]
Last night, the Phillies capped off an extraordinary comeback in the series opener against the Brewers. Down 6-3 in the bottom half of the 9th, the Phillies mounted four runs off of Francisco "Beats His Father-in-Law" Rodriguez to win the game, 7-6. It seemed like the baseball Gods of 2008 pulled a highlight reel from that […]
According to the New York Post's Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1), the Phillies have elevated their offerings to left hander Cole Hamels to $140 million. Although the offer is close to Hamels' asking price, Hamels has not yet said yes to it. Hamels is 11-4 with a 3.23 ERA in 19 starts this season, the last of […]
Well, after the news that the Predators matched the flyers 14 year- 110 Millon Dollar offer, this off season may seem like a bust for the flyers. They lost two of their top wingers, Jagr and JVR ( when he was healthy ) while adding no younger talent on offense. They also lost Matt […]

In an interview with 94 WIP's Michael Barkann and Ike Reese, Pence expressed his feelings about Philadelphia and its fans as well as making his preferance clear that he'd rather lose here than be […]
MLB Trade Rumors is reporting something not terribly new, that the Orioles have interest in Placido Polanco. While this isn't new, it is exciting. The Phillies should go down this road, and get a deal done. I'm just not sure it's as exciting as you think. Yes, on the positive side, this is a no-brainer. […]
Roy Halladay returned to Citizens Bank Park for the first time since coming off the disabled list during the Dodgers series. He would face Randy Wolf and the Milwaukee Brewers. It didn't start out on a good note for Doc. In the first inning, Carlos Gomez was able to score on a double from Aramis […]
The Phillies barely escaped a sweep at the hands of the Giants yesterday. It was too close to call as the Phils took their second game in a row into extra innings. Unlike Saturday's game, the Phils were able to rally up a walkoff hit as Jimmy Rollins knocked in Carlos Ruiz with a single […]
