Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose It's official: Chase Utley is back in a Phillies uniform. Chase was activated this afternoon after spending just one day in Lehigh Valley rehabbing with the Triple-AAA IronPigs. Michael Martinez was sent down to the 'Pigs, making room for Chase on the 25-man roster. No word yet if Chase will be in […]
Vance Worley took the hill tonight for the Phillies against lefty Eric Bedard of the Pirates. With the team playing more aggressive than ever this season, the remainder of this series is sure to be entertaining. The Phillies jumped ahead early tonight with an RBI single from the hot-hitting Carlos Ruiz. He plated Hunter Pence […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose In what should be his final rehab stint before returning to the Phillies, Chase Utley played a game at second base tonight for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Phillies' Triple-AAA affiliate. Utley, who of course walked up to the plate with "Kashmir" blasting arround him, had a great night at the plate. […]

According to the Phillies, if all goes well and Howard passes the tests he will begin his rehab assignment in Lakewood on Thursday. He will have 20 days from the start of the assisgnment to be activated meaning he […]
The Phils looked strong last night. Jimmy Rollins is smoking hot and Carlos Ruiz is still Carlos Ruizing it. By the way, you should really vote for Chooch for the All-Star Game. Seriously do it. Anyway, the Phils took game one of four by a score of 8-3 last night. Joe Blanton was solid while […]
On the way into Citizens Bank Park tonight, I predicted the Pirates would beat the Phillies 10-4. I'm at that point with this team. They entered the game at 34-40, so why would you believe they would beat a team that's played reasonably well this year? Well, for one night, they played like the Phillies […]
Jamie Moyer has a helluva story going on right now. I love the guy to death and I love how he just doesn't want to give up the game, but it's also time to seriously think about retiring and calling it a career. The 49 year-old lefty has signed a minor-league deal with the Toronto […]
The following is a special guest post from "Frat House Mike". Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew The Philadelphia Phillies are not having a very good season. Currently, they are in last place in the NL East – are 35-40, 5 games under .500 – are playing .467 ball – are 8 games behind the East leading Washington […]
After dropping both games of a day-night double-header yesterday, the Phillies were looking to shake off the rust and start off a four-game series with the Pirates on the right foot. Joe Blanton was looking for his seventh win on the season tonight, and would do so against Jeff Karstens. Runs would be surprisingly […]
It's pretty sad that it's almost July and the Phillies are still in last place. Sitting six games under .500 (34-40) and sitting 9 games behind in the NL East, it's really tough to see this team accomplishing anything great this season. The Phillies are coming off of a 2-1 series loss against the Rays, […]
