Hard to not see this one coming. According to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi, Phillies centerfielder Shane Victorino has a lot of teams who have interest in his services. According to him, Victorino may be the first to go this season. Something that should grab your attention: A high-ranking executive with one club predicted that Victorino […]
For the third straight year, the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted the top pitching arm in the pre-draft rankings, nabbing Mark Appel at #8 overall in the draft. This makes sense for a team that hasn't had a winning season since Barry Bonds left town in 1992. This is how you rebuild. Too bad Appel didn't sign. […]
Last week I broke down the value of Shane Victorino on a trade, and where he could go. I determined the Dodgers, Yankees, Pirates, Reds, Tigers, and Indians were potential buyers. I said the Dodgers were the most likely trade partner, but that I'd like to move with the Yankees. Tonight we move to the […]

Much like last night's game, the Phillies scored first and they scored early. Carlos Ruiz singled to left to bring home Shane […]
The Phillies finally pulled a win out of their behinds last night, taking the second game 8-5. Vance Worley got the win, his fifth of the season after tossing 6 2/3 strong innings while raking in two runs of his own from an RBI double. So the Phils pitchers can hit now? He's no Cliff […]

The Phils' ace has been out of action for over a month after a right lat strain back on May 27th. When originally diagnosed, Halladay was given 6-8 […]
I totally thought Vance was hurt. The totally awesome Chad Moriyama makes awesome .gifs of baseball games, and I asked him if he could do us some Worley tripping. He was all for it and hooked us up. Check it out: Here's another angle: Now, I can't give you all three for free when they […]
Image courtesy of Matt Sautter The Phillies were looking for a quality start from Vance Worley tonight to snap out of their five-game losing streak. Impatient at-bats last night led to a 6-2 loss, and a terrible way to kick off the second half of the season. Thankfully, an outburst of offense gave the Phillies […]
Phillies outfielder Juan Pierre has never been a power hitter in his career. With just 17 career home runs in his 13-year career, Pierre has always been noted as a singles hitter and speed demon on the base paths. Pierre played at the height of his career during the steroid era of baseball. In an […]
The Phillies got their second half off to a bad start with last night's 6-2 loss, bringing them down back 14 games under .500. Cliff Lee took the loss as well, bringing him to 1-6 on the year despite allowing three runs (two earned) on nine hits against the Rockies. Tonight Vance Worley will get the […]
