Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Kate (Waterlady) on Tumblr What you're looking at is the 6' 8" relief pitcher Michael Schwimer, who walked to the bullpen at Citizens Bank Park for the first time, sporting Michael Stutes' old backpack. Schwim wouldn't be needed tonight though, because it was all about Cliff Lee for seven […]
The Vancouver Canucks fell one win short of taking home the Stanley Cup in the 2010-2011 season. After winning the first two games against Boston, the Canucks went on to lose four of the next five allowing the Bruins to win their first Stanley Cup since 1972. Their lone win in the final five meetings came in Game 5, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Two first place teams, the Arizona Diamondbacks and our Phillies started a three-game series tonight with Roy Halladay starting against Josh Collmenter. But, not before Jimmy Rollins and Steve Carlton unveiled the brand new statue of Hall of Fame broadcaster, Harry Kalas. Opening ceremonies were, as expected, beautiful and touching, […]
Posted by Patrick Franklin Well. Here's the deal: I missed yesterday's "Day in Baseball History," and from what I can divulge, not much happened on today's date in baseball hostory. The Padres and Mets played the first ever MLB game in Mexico in 1996. Outside of that, nothing monumental occured. SO. I am going to […]

However, the Phillies traded Jim Thome to the Chicago White Sox because of the rookie slugger Ryan Howard arrival. Everyone fell in love with him. […]

Some of you will know me as the handsome but pre-maturely balding and occasionally funny @Phils08champs on twitter. I am in the process, and failing, to figure out how TypePad works. I currently write for Ticket, a MontCo […]
Posted by Christina Angelos Thank you to @magelb for posting this photo of Halladay (left) and Kendrick (right) throwing in the outfield during this crazy weather. The Phillies and the Nationals decided to postpone the final game of their three-game series. The game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Sept. […]
Posted by Jorge Suarez OK – usually I'm lazy and never write anything except stupid tweets, but this really has me angry. There is a really talented player for the Marlins named Hanley Ramirez. They have an owner named Jeffrey Loria (not to be confused with Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. I once felt bad […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson To put it simply, Cole Hamels just didn't have it tonight, and the Nationals took advantage of that. His struggles started early, walking two in the first inning, but striking out Jayson Werth with two outs and a man on third. Disaster number one averted. In the second inning, Wilson Ramos […]
