Posted By Christina Angelos Courtesy of GCobb.com The Phillies still won the series by taking 2 out of 3 after the Mets avoiding a sweep. You may need to know: if you remember at this time last year we were losing series against the Mets, however, this year it’s change, Phillies have taken all […]

Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies headed up to Flushing, New York to visit the LOLMets for the first time this season. Roy Oswalt took the mound coming off of his first loss at Citizens Bank Park, which was his second of the season. The lineup gave little Roy a little help, first scoring Carlos […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson It might take me a few days to shut up about last night's game and Wilson Valdez's pitching performance, but this game was greater in terms of offense. For the record, I don't care how many runs the Phillies scored today, I'm still excited over Valdez pitching. I mean, Valdez was […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Deja vu, Travid Wood vs. Roy Halladay. Remember that matchup from last season? Travis Wood threw eight perfect innings against the Phillies in July last sesason, Carlos Ruiz broke it up in the ninth with a double to deep center field. The Phillies ended up winning that game in the eleventh […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Vancey pants Worley hasn't allowed more than two earned runs to score in any of his four major league starts. Vance has never faced the Reds before, so I was a bit curious to see how this game would go for him. The answer to my own question: not bad! Vance […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Everything about this game was just exciting, even the pre-game stats. Cole Hamels against the Reds including the postseason is 7-0 with a 0.91 ERA in eight starts. The Phillies' lineup tonight also looked rather intimidating; Rollins, Utley, Polanco, Howard, Ibanez, Ruiz, Brown, Mayberry. Beautiful, welcome back Chase Utley. In Chase's […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth On Sunday, the Phillies announced the signing of veteran outfielder Scott Podsednik, to a minor league contract. It is anticipated that he will be assigned to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (AAA), but no associated roster move has been announced yet. Most of Podsednik's limited value comes from his speed, which has […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Chase Utley makes his long-awaited return to the Phillies lineup tonight, as the Phillies face soft-tossing right-hander Bronson Arroyo and the Cincinnati Reds. Wilson Valdez, and his .551 OPS (.252 wOBA), has been relegated to the bench. Pete Orr, and his .578 OPS (.258 wOBA), has been exiled to the scenic […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies went for the sweep of this three-game series against the Texas Rangers, and their chances looked pretty good with Roy Oswalt starting for them, who has allowed two earned runs or less in five of his six starts this season. The only problem with that is the Phillies' offense, […]
