(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies went from hitting the crap out of the ball, to not seeing it at all. This series with Chicago has literally been a roller coaster series. With the Phils dropping the third game yesterday, they fell to 1-2 against the Cubs and tonight they'll turn to Vance Worley in effort to […]
(Photo: Wikipedia Commons) According to MLB Trade Rumors, 30 year-old infielder Jorge Cantú has opted out of his minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Angels and is now a free agent client. Cantú, a seven year veteran, has played for five different teams over his career. Most recently being the San Diego Padres. Cantú signed […]
Kyle Kendrick piched very well this afternoon against the Chicago Cubs, coming back from a horrid three-inning outing in Arizona last Monday in which he allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits, walking one and striking out one. This afternoon he allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits, striking out seven and walking one […]
Last night the Phillies rebounded from a bad loss on Friday night. Joe Blanton earned his second win of the year after the offense, led by Jimmy Rollins and Carlos Ruiz, scored five runs to give the Phils their 10th win of the year. Jimmy Rollins batted leadoff for the first time this year and […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Joe Blanton was straight up phenomenal tonight. No doubt about that. Fortunately, the offense showed up tonight for the Phillies, and backed up Blanton in what was a fantastic game against the Cubs. The only trouble that Joe Blanton put himself into tonight happened in the first inning. One run would score on […]
Impotence. The Philadelphia Phillies in a word, against a pitcher who had an 8+ ERA last night. Now how will they do against someone whose ERA is less than half that?! I'm lazy (and too angry about other crap) and don't feel like looking up numbers, so here is what Kevin Durso had to say […]
It's safe to say we're all tired of these kinds of losses. Roy Halladay was pitching himself a beauty of a game against the Chicago Cubs in the two teams' first meeting of the season. Paul Maholm hasn't had much luck against the Phillies in recent years, but that was about to change. Doc retired […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phils are coming back from a West Coast road trip in which they finished 5-5. They won just one series match up, against the D-backs, in four tries. The Phils managed just 15 runs through the first seven games of the road trip, but in the last two they seemed to […]
Today, the Detroit Tigers released third baseman Brandon Inge after a 12-year tenure together. Inge, who was batting .100 (2-20) with 2 RBI this season, was relieved of his duties at third base this season by Miguel Cabrera after the signing of Prince Fielder. Could the Phillies be interested in Inge's services? Personally, I don't […]
