I got a chance to see Ryan Howard's rehab, first hand tonight in Allentown. The IronPigs won the game 2-1, sweeping the double-header from Pawtucket to go two games up in the division after the day. Ryne Sandberg's crew won both games without using a starting pitcher. Not bad. Sandberg's upbeat about Howard and Utley. […]
UNREAL: A TEAM ACTUALLY TOOK CHAD QUALLS OFF OF THE PHILLIES HANDS! The New York Yankees of all teams took Qualls off of the Phillies hands' for a player to be named later or cash. That means the stupid Yankees are paying the rest of Qualls' $1.1 million salary, which means the Phillies can use […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Well I guess the Phillies are sellers this year. According to CBS' Jon Heyman, the Phillies have begun to call other Major League teams regarding trade interest in lefthander Cole Hamels. Hamels, 28, is in his last year of his contract with the Phillies and if he is not traded or not […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The rosters for the 83rd All-Star game have been unveiled and the Phillies have just three representatives. Catcher Carlos Ruiz and pitchers Cole Hamels and Jonathan Papelbon have made the NL All-Star team. It is Carlos Ruiz's first All-Star team in his career, while Hamels has been named to his third (2007, […]
According to Fan Nation, the Texas Rangers are reportedly scouting Phillies' lefthander Cole Hamels. Along with scouting Hamels, the Rangers are reportedly also scouting Brewers' ace Zack Greinke. Hamels, 28, is a free agent after this season and just as expected he has not spoken a word of his contract negotiations with the Phillies. Hamels signed […]
The Phillies have already lost this three-game set in Miami and today they will try to salvage a win to prevent a sweep. At 36-44, the Phillies sit 10 games out of first place and are eight games under the .500 mark. Joe Blanton will play the role of the sweep stopper today against the […]
Around the eighth inning of today's ballgame in Miami, rumors began swirling of Jim Thome headed to Baltimore in a trade. Thome was shown in the dugout with a bat in his hands, most likely hoping to have one more at-bat as a Philadelphia Phillie. The future Hall of Famer had an excellent month for […]
After a miserable game one last night in which the Marlins beat up Cliff Lee, the Phillies were looking to gain some ground in the N.L. East with the Braves and Nationals playing each other this afternoon. Cole Hamels looked to continue his excellent season against Mark Buehrle who pitched seven scoreless in his last […]
Well last night wasn't the start we were looking for. Cliff Lee was lit up for six earned and the Phils only produced two runs themselves. It wasn't a good game at all, and for Cliff Lee it hasn't been a good season at all. The Marlins now hold a 4-3 record against the Phillies […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Well hopefully this will chipper you up after tonight's game. Roy Halladay threw 33 pitches during a bullpen session today, working on all of his pitches. Halladay has been sidelined with a strained lat muscle since May 29 and was put in "shutdown mode" for three weeks. Halladay was expected to miss […]
