After completing training camp, the Flyers open the preseason in London, Ontario against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Hockey is back as the Flyers open the 2013-14 preseason. Their first game is a traditional meeting at a neutral location. It is marked on the schedule as a home game, but the Flyers and Leafs traditionally face […]
Among the Phillies many problems in 2013 are errors, especially on the infield. But it was the Dodgers' shortstop that gave away the game on Sunday. Hanley Ramirez was responsible for the two runs that counted in Friday's shutout win for LA. In the ninth inning on Sunday, an error on a low throw allowed […]
Cole Hamels goes for his fourth career win against the Dodgers on Sunday. (Kevin Durso/Philliedelphia) The Dodgers just continue to prove why they are quickly rising through the ranks to compete for baseball's best record. That's easy to do with a 42-8 record over 50 games. The Phillies, meanwhile, continue to stumble. Although, if you […]
Kyle Kendrick gets the start in the middle game of the Phillies series with the Dodgers. (Kevin Durso/Philliedelphia) It was a whirlwind day for the Phillies, who had to watch as their manager was let go and an interim quickly took the reins. Perhaps things weren't all together in their heads on Friday, but they […]
Kyle Kendrick bids for his 11th win of the season against the Nationals on Sunday. (Kevin Durso/Philliedelphia) A 5:05 start time on a Sunday is rather unfamiliar. What was not familiar was Saturday night's result. Another bullpen meltdown led to another loss for the Phillies. Despite a four-run second, the offense went silent for the […]
Chase Utley had two of the Phillies' four hits in a 9-2 loss to the Nationals. In his time with the Washington Nationals, John Lannan posted a 3-13 record against the Phillies. In his first two starts against his former team, the Phillies were victorious. Lannan's return to Nationals Park, however, was hardly a homecoming. […]
Michael Young could be on the move as the trade deadline rapidly approaches. (Kevin Durso/Philliedelphia) The big splash of the deadline took place 17 hours before the trade deadline hit. As the clock was ticking on the amount of time left to make trades, the Boston Red Sox jumped in on Jake Peavy, picking up […]
Michael Young went 2-for-4 including his eight home run of the season in the Phillies' 7-3 win over the Giants. (Kevin Durso/Philliedelphia) The Phillies did something on Tuesday night that they haven't done in over a week. It's a verb that starts with 'w' and consists of three letters. Thanks to Michael Young and Carlos […]
After playing 11 innings on Saturday afternoon, why not play extras again? Ok, I'm sure that wasn't anybody's wish. But one player was up for the task. Michael Young played all 11 innings on Saturday afternoon. On Saturday night, he batted lead off and went into the 13th. Young was at the plate with two […]
The Phillies gave away Game 1. They can quickly amend for it in Game 2. A stretch of excellent games in order for the Phillies against the Braves and Nationals didn't carry over to Saturday's opener. Now the Phillies (46-48) return to the field to once again face the White Sox (37-53). John Lannan (2-3, 4.23 […]
