(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phils are 7-9 on the year. My panic level? Not so high, it's only April and there are still five months of baseball to play. My frustration level? Through the freakin' roof. Watching this team play over the past two weeks has been absolute torture. They can't hit to save their […]
If you believe what you read, the Phillies haven't had and real negotiations with Cole Hamels and his agent about a long term deal. No progress has been made. Come November, he will be a free agent. He'll get at least a six year offer, and probably at least $130 million on the market, and […]
The Phillies are off to a 7-9 start. To hear some tell it, they might as well be 2-14. They are on the panic button, and want drastic action taken now. I'm not with them. I think a harder road might be a better road than winning 102 games like last year, which incidentally didn't […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) This is getting old. The Phillies tried to avoid a series split this afternoon in San Diego with Joe Blanton on the mound against reliever-turned-starter Anthony Bass. Some very sluggish defense and poor offense from this team wouldn't help. The Padres would strike first this afternoon thanks to a double from Chase […]
Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani It had been 13 games since the Phillies had lost a game at Petco Park. But as we know, all streaks come to an end sometime. The Padres routed the Phils 5-1 last night, winning their first game at home against the Phillies for the first time since 2008. Roy Halladay wasn't as […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's games like these that really make you wonder how the rest of this season will treat the Phils. Roy Halladay took the mound tonight in the third game of this four-game series against Cory Luebke and the Padres. The Phillies were looking to extend their winning streak in San Diego to 14 […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) It never ends, does it? Cliff Lee has been placed on the DL with a left oblique strain retroactive to Thursday. Lee injured his oblique in the 10th inning. Lee is coming off of a spectacular 10 shut out-inning outing against the Giants. The Phillies ended up losing 1-0 in the 11th […]
This afternoon, Chicago White Sox righty Philip Humber tossed a perfect game against the Seattle Mariners. The White Sox scored four runs for Humber who did the rest of the work, striking out 9 Mariners through 9 perfect innings. Humber threw just 96 pitches, 67 for strikes. Humber's perfect game is the 21st in MLB history as […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies have already won the first two of four games against the Padres, totalling their stretch of consecutive wins at Petco Park at 13. The Padres, having only scored just one run during the first two games, will have no easy task tonight either. Reason why? Roy Halladay. Tonight, Doc (3-0, 1.17 […]
Former Cincinnati Red Edinson Volquez took the mound tonight for the Padres against Cole Hamels who has been victorious in recent years in San Diego, his home town. Carlos Ruiz was out of the lineup and will be for the next couple of days with a swollen wrist. A run wouldn't score in this game […]
