Image courtesy of Matt Sautter Welcome to the second half of the 2012 MLB season. Typically, the Phillies are a much better team during the second half than in the first half. They didn't look like it tonight in Colorado. After a four-day break for the All-Star Game and its festivities, Cliff Lee was looking […]
The Phillies had one of their first halves in ten years, going 37-50 headed into the All-Star Break. Well it's only been four days since they played, but I'm sick and tired of seeing this team playing like crap as well as being sick and tired of being negative about this team. So for the […]
According to ESPN's Jayson Stark (@jaysonst), the Phillies are preparing to offer left hander Cole Hamels a huge contract. Hamels, 28, is a soon-to-be-free-agent come this offseason and is going to be the hottest free agent on the market. Unless the Phillies can lock him up. Hamels is 10-4 on the year with a 3.20 ERA […]
It's a good sign from Clearwater tonight, folks. Roy Halladay has completed his first rehab assignment for the Phillies. Although he was a bit rusty, the Phillies ace did an alright job tonight. Tonight the right-hander made the start for the single-A Clearwater Threshers against the Fort Myers Miracle. The game was televised and broadcast on […]
The 83rd annual All-Star Game brought about quite an impressive array of the league's best starting pitchers and power hitters. Our Philadelphia Phillies sent out three of their top guys to Kansas City: Catcher Carlos Ruiz, starting pitcher Cole Hamels, and closer Jonathan Papelbon. All of these men took the field (or mound) tonight against […]
Carlos Ruiz was selected to be the one to handle the catching duties for knuckleballer R.A. Dickey during the 2012 All-Star game. But to do so, Dickey brought along his own catchers' mitt for Ruiz to catch (pitctured above). Knuckleballs are highly unpredicable. So much so that Tony LaRussa did not think that Buster Posey […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso Great news from Philadelphia! According to MLB's Todd Zolecki, Phillies ace Roy Halladay will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday, July 12. The Phillies' righthander will start for single-A Clearwater Threshers and if all goes well, he could be back in a Phils' uniform by Tuesday when the Phillies are in Los […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso It's not uncommon that you hear of other players speaking about their teammates after being traded. What is uncommon is hearing other players speaking about their teammates before being traded. According to Todd Zolecki, a few players who spoke to reporters yesterday mentioned the recent rumors of their teammate Cole Hamels being potentially traded. […]
I want to start by making mention of something: Shane Victorino has been a really good Phillie. He is not a Hall-of-Famer, sure, but he was a major, major part of the best run in team history. He was an almost symbolic part of them bullying the Mets out of the way, and taking over […]
Just admit it- you got it totally wrong. We all did. The blowhards on ESPN did. The national writers did. Everybody did. Sure, this team looked sluggish from the day they got to Clearwater, sure they had major injuries strike before opening day (in fact, before the final out of 2011 was recorded), sure they […]
