(Photo: Wikipedia Commons) Happy Memorial Day everybody! We here at Philliedelphia would love to express our appreciation and gratitude to the men and women who have served and who are currently serving for our country. I wouldn't be here typing this article if it weren't for all of you. Memorial Day baseball is a big […]
I've got a date with my grandmother today and a slight hangover so here's a quick preview for you guys. 8 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, Loss. That was Roy Halladay's line the last time he faced the Cardinals, in Game 5 of the NLDS last year. Roy pitched a great […]
It's all about Kyle Rodney Kendrick. Kyle pitched an absolute gem of a ball game tonight, shutting out the Cardinals in a complete game effort. By a show of hands, who guessed Kyle would have more wins by May 26th than Cliff Lee? If your hand is up, put it back down, you're a filthy […]
Last night, Cliff Lee and Shane Victorino had an altercation in the dugout. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal, right? Happens all the time. Nobody had anything to say about it after the game. The problem isn't the argument. The problem is, one of the Phillies' strengths has been their […]
Today is May 25th and Cliff Lee does not have a win under his belt this season. Since he came back from the disabled list on May 10, Phillies fans have been patiently waiting for him to pick up a win. The fans are tired of waiting, and so is Cliff. A frustrating outing would […]
@GMCarson just pointed me to this: The Phillies have moved one-time super prospect Domonic Brown to center field at AAA Lehigh Valley. Wow. If you fail at left and fail at right, only other place is center, right? (Well, I suppose Brown could return to pitching). This move could be very telling about the Phillies' […]
Well last night was pretty crazy. Despite the bad pitching and near-lead blowing outings, the Phillies still managed to rack 10 runs on a season-high 18 hits in their 10-9 win over St. Louis last night. Taking game one of this four-game set doesn't really say a lot, but hey the Phils are back at […]
(Image from Jon's Twitter page) I recently got the opportunity to interview 21-year-old starting pitcher Jon Pettibone. Pettibone was drafted by the Phillies in the third round of the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft. He now pitches in AA Reading and has a 3-4 record with a 3.59 ERA. In 52 innings he has allowed 62 […]
Well, you probably heard the news yesterday: Chase Utley worked out in left-field. Let me translate that for you in several ways: The Phillies are very content with Freddy Galvis and their future at second base. Domonic Brown is in peril with this team. Chase is (possibly) accepting reality about his future in this game. We've […]
The Phillies traveled to St. Louis last night for a four-game series at the Cardinals. Obviously, the Cards and Phils' first meeting of the season will bring back a few painful memories from last season's NLDS in which the Cards came out on top, and were eventual World Series Champions. Joe Blanton and Jake Westbrook […]
