If a team wants to go deep in the playoffs they have to make the other team's best players beat them. Patrick Kaleta is not one of those players. Scoring the first –and only — goal in the series, Kaleta gave his team a 1-0 series lead against the higher-seeded Flyers as Ryan Miller stopped all […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Two words: pitcher's duel. That is exactly what this game was tonight for the first five innings which went by extraordinarily fast. Nationals starter Jordan Zimmerman pitched five perfect innings, and in five innings for Cliff Lee, he allowed just two hits; a double to Danny Espinosa in the third, and […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Roy Halladay's stats against the Nationals in 2010: 3-0, 23 IP, 16 hits, 1 earned run, 20 strikeouts. Holy wow, this should be fun tonight. Shane Victorino led it off with a double (what else?) and made a genius play moments later when Polanco almost grounded into a double play, but Shane […]
Posted by Christina Angelos (Photo via @PhilaUnion) CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCHHHHHHHHHH OVERLOAD! Yes, both do share the same name, but both play different sports for Philadelphia. Do you guys know the differences between the two? Before the Friday night Phillies game, Philadelphia Union Forward Carlos Ruiz met Philadelphia Phillies catcher, Carlos Ruiz. Pretty amazing. They even exchanged jeresys with the […]
Posted by Christina Angelos Courtesy of gcobb.com Roy Oswalt pitched very solid even with giving up two runs but the bullpen could not hold it as the Phillies lost to the Marlins. Roy Oswalt left in the seventh inning with apparent lower back strain. We do not know how bad it is as of right now. […]
Posted by Jorge Suarez Apparently, Roy Oswalt isn't much of a household name in major league baseball, or the editors just don't know who he is. "Phillies Starter Injures Lower Back". WAIT – I FIGURED IT OUT! He was wearing #42 and they couldn't figure out the difference. There. Speaking of jerseys, when Philadelphia Union […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson On Saturday, Logan Morrison of the Marlins headed over to Carl's Card Shop of Havertown, Pennsylvania to meet his fans, sign some baseballs, and raise money for the American Association of Lung Cancer which supports finding a cure for the disease, which his father suffered and passed away from this past winter. Details […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson On the Phanatic’s Birthday (his true age has not yet been determined) Cole Hamels (1-1, 5.59 ERA) took the mound against Marlins’ starter Anibal Sanchez (0-1, 6.97 ERA). Cole struck out two and walked one (fourth of the season) in the first inning, no complaints here. Placido Polanco drilled […]
Six first period goals, 54 penalty minutes, and one goalie change were all elements of the Flyers' 5-4 win in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals matchup with the Sabres. Brian Boucher made 20 saves on 21 shots in a relief appearance for Sergei Bobrovsky as five different Flyers scored to tie the series […]
When a player gets injured, somebody has an opportunity to step up and fill in. Tonight, that somebody was Nikolay Zherdev. Stepping in for Andreas Nodl, Zherdev netted the game-winning goal in a Flyers' 4-2 win in Game 3 which gave the visitors a 2-1 series lead. Jeff Carter and Kimmo Timonen also hit the net as […]
