Posted by Mike Frohwirth Vance Worley Vance Worley threw seven shutout innings on Monday, as the Phillies beat the host Marlins, 1-0. Worley has allowed only two runs, in his last twenty-five MLB innings, lowering his ERA to 2.20. For his efforts, Worley was dispatched to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs after the game. No cause […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Marc Serota/Getty Images The Phils and Fish kicked off a three-game series tonight in Florida with Vancey Pants Worley on the mound against the right-handed Ricky Nolasco. Mike Stanton was certainly feeling confident before the game tonight judging by this tweet. Shane Victorino was out of tonight's lineup with […]

On top of that, Adrian Gonzalez starts in right field tonight for the first time since 2005. Some advice for the Phils' lineup: Hit it to Adrian. Vance Worley was […]
Eric Lindros, at one time, was the face of the Flyers' franchise. Unfortunately, health issues in addition to an ugly dispute with GM Bob Clarke led to a big trade in August, 2001, shipping Lindros to the division rival New York Rangers. Since Lindros meant so much to this organization, and since other teams in the league were […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Daylife.com I can't put into words how truly masterful Cliff Lee pitches. Cliff had a no-hitter going into the sixth inning tonight before giving up a single to Marco Scutaro. Five scoreless innings for Cliff to tack onto his current career-high streak. Domonic Brown backed up Cliff in the […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Daylife.com When the Florida Marlins came to visit in mid-June, I noticed that John Buck's catchers helmet was decorated and painted to represent the Marlins, and I love it. As you can see, there's a huge Marlin on the side (he has it painted on both sides, so they […]
