It's the "Rumble In The Jungle," the "Thrilla' In Manilla," or just another classic Cy Young vs. Cy Young battle. For the first time since the 2010 NLCS, Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum matched up. If you remember in that series, the two multi-time Cy Youngs split games one (Lincecum) and five (Halladay). Tonight was […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) After coming off series loss to the New York Mets, the Phillies are hitting the West Coast for a 10-game road trip. Even though the Phillies lost the series against the Mets, they prevented the sweep as they routed the Mets to win 8-2. The Phillies are hoping that going West with […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies have activated Jose Contreras this afternoon and have sent Joe Savery down to Triple-A Lehigh. This news, coming right after the Phillies' 8-2 win over the Mets, is the first transaction news in awhile. Jose Contreras, who had elbow surgery late last season, had started the 2012 season on the DL […]
I get to write a rare recap since everyone's watching hockey or at work. Too bad you probably are too and not reading this. But, the Phillies did play, and avoided a sweep by the Mets. At first, it looked like the Phillies offense was taking the day in addition to the whole team wearing […]
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies have been outscored by the Mets 10-2 through the first two games of this weekend series. The Fightins dropped game one, 5-2 on Friday night and were blanked yesterday afternoon, 5-0. With the Mets taking the first two games, they have already won the series match up, their first series win […]
Ugly, ugly, ugly. No, not the Mets. The Phillies' offense and pitching. Vance Worley started his second game of the season this evening against Jonathon Niese and the Mets in this three-game series. After last night's loss, the Phillies were looking to turn it around and come back to .500 tonight. Third baseman David Wright […]
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies finally won their first series of the season. Last night, Joe Blanton was spectacular through 7 innings, allowing just 3 hits and one earned run. Blanton was backed by home runs from Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton to beat the Marlins, 3-1 and take the series 2-1. Tonight, the New York Mets […]
Incoincidentally, Joe Blanton started his first game of the season on the first Dollar Dog Night at Citizens Bank Park! (That was my first and last fat joke, I promise.) Mark Buehrle got the start for Miami tonight. Joe Blanton was breezing through this Marlins lineup tonight. In his career, he is 6-2 with a […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) After last night's offensive outbreak in a 7-1 win over the Marlins, the Phillies are looking to take the series tonight as Joe Blanton (0-1, 13.50 ERA) makes his first start of the season. The Phillies skipped over Blanton the first time through the rotation, deciding to go Halladay, Lee, Worley, Hamels, and […]
Not tonight, Miami. Freddy Galvis and the Phils had other plans. Tonight was all about this Phillies lineup. Charlie Manuel sent out his fifth different lineup, and he finally struck gold. And by gold, I mean runs. With Roy Halladay on the mound against fellow ace Josh Johnson, Doc would reign superior once again with […]
