It's great to see the Phillies having some fun, and they did so while supporting the Shane Victorino Foundation which donates to the Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia. Shane and his wife, Melissa hosted their third annual fashion show this evening, along with a few members of the team, and other sports personalities. Here […]
I put this up to feel better. Look at that price- Grandma's on to something for these Phillies. The minor leagues- refuge from Phillies' hell. Alright, I'm going to jump from topic to topic. I've got lots to write tonight. ************************************************************ We'll start with some bad news that is not related to the team on […]
According to the Washington Post's Amanda Comak, former-Phillies closer Brad Lidge has been designated for assignment by the Washington Nationals. Lidge, 35, signed a one-year $1MM deal with the Nationals in the offseason. In 11 appearances (9 1/3 IP), Lidge is posting an 0-1 record with a 9.86 ERA and only two saves. Lidge was […]
After dropping the first two games of this series in Toronto, the Phillies will turn to Kyle Kendrick in an effort to prevent the sweep. Yesterday was just another example of bad luck and bad baseball. Cliff Lee had everything going for him. A nice lead, a good pitch count, and a chance to finally […]
Well it hasn't happened yet. Cliff Lee is still winless. We'll get short and to the point today. The Phillies scored five runs, including a three-run shot by John Mayberry Jr. in the third inning. Cliff Lee allowed three runs on a season-high 12 hits over seven innings against the Blue Jays today. Lee had […]
(Philliedelphia: Steve Trapani) The news is getting better for the Phillies. Chase Utley and Ryan Howard are both improving during their rehab stints down in Clearwater. Chase Utley has been playing second base for the last few days and each game extending his playing time. Howard has been hitting and doing fielding drills during his rehab. […]
Even the Phanatic is scouting minor league parks If they hit, they don't pitch. If they pitch, they don't hit. If they do those things, they probably don't play defense. This is why the Phillies are 31-35 with 96 games to go, and nine games back of first, in last place. Everything's going wrong this […]
Oh, Canada. The Blue Jays have been very unlucky this past week with the loss of Brandon Morrow due to a left oblique strain, and Kyle Drabek with a torn UCL. Both are on the 15-day DL as of right now, but both injuries are likely substantial. As if losing two starters isn't bad enough, […]
The Phillies have made an acquisition today by signing outfielder Jason Pridie to the club. Pridie, 28, was immediately optioned to Triple-A Lehigh where he will try to make the big league club. Pridie hit .281 with four home runs and 20 RBI in 101 games last season for the Mets. Pridie elected free-agency at […]
Good news, Roy Halladay's latissimus dorsi muscle is healing a little quicker than expected: 11 Days after setting a three week timetable, Doc has already started throwing. While it is absolutely best to take it slow, it's great to see that Doc is already improving. The last time he pitched in a game was May […]
