Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies have won four-games-in-a-row since losing the first game of the second-half.

Roy Halladay made his return to baseball tonight after missing 42 days total with his latissimus dorsi strain. He did so against Stephen Fife, a 25-year-old making his major league debut for the sidelined Chad Billingsley. Much like they've been doing more of recently, the Phillies scored first. Jimmy Rollins scored in the top of […]
"Damn dude, this sucks." "Yeah dude, I know." Let me just state my complete admiration for Jimmy Rollins.

He very well may have his 2,000th […]

The Phillies regular left-fielder […]
These late night games can really get weird. Joe Blanton opened up a series in Los Angeles with a whale of an effort (unintentional weight joke, you're lookin' good, Joe) to shut down the Dodgers' lineup for the most part. The leaders in the National League West and the bottom feeders of the National League […]
After winning their first series in nearly a month, the Phillies are over in the West Coast for six games. They'll split the next six games between the Dodgers and the Giants. Off to a good start in the second-half, the Phillies will look to remain in a winning state as they near the July […]
