This was definitely a good, bad, and ugly game. However a win is a win. I think. The game started out better than any have all season. The Phillies tagged Mike Fiers for five runs in the first inning including just another three run blast from Domonic Brown. Fiers would be chased from the game […]
After two mostly pathetic losses against a less than stellar Milwaukee club, the Phillies are forced to lick their wounds and give the ball to Cliff Lee. They've shown some signs of battle in these games but for the most part are letting mediocre pitchers beat them. With every loss, I find myself more […]
After what may have been the worst loss of the season, the Phillies needed a lot. The bullpen was heavily taxed. They needed innings from Cliff Lee. When Lee is going good, he's one of the best in the game and tonight he was very hard to hit. He pitched eight very strong innings, allowing […]
Domonic Brown had himself a breakout week hitting .348, two home runs, driving in seven, and scoring four. For his efforts he was awarded NL Player of the Week. Brown has faced many trials and struggles in his young career. He was handled extremely poorly for an untouchable prospect early on and was pretty streaky […]
Per Phillies High-A affiliate, the Clearwater Threshers Twitter, Carlos Zambrano will start his first minor league game tonight against the Brevard County Manatees (Class-A Milwaukee). Zambrano has had two impressive outings in Extended Spring Training thus far and now it's time for some game time action.
After another dreadful meltdown against Washington, the Phillies head up to Boston for the first of four (two at Fenway, two at home). Currently the Red Sox are tied for first with New York in the American League East and their record sits at 31-20. The club has weathered their share of injuries already but […]
Today's ballgame inspired me to finally write what's been brewing in my head all season about your 2013 Philadelphia Phillies. Little mini rants would come into my head with every awful loss but they'd salvage some of my optimism with some good games here and there. Before it sounds like I'm going to fly off […]
On the two year anniversary of his pitching victory in the 19 inning classic over the Cincinnati Reds, (well technically tomorrow is the anniversary but the game started today in 2011), former Phillies utility infielder Wilson Valdez has signed on with the Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League. This comes after two failed attempts to […]
The day after most likely future Wall of Famer Brad Lidge officially retires as a Phillie, the Wall will get the plaque of one of the great all time Phillies pitchers, Curt Schilling. Schilling would later become best known for his postseason success with Arizona and Boston, winning three rings with those clubs. His Hall […]
It was shaping up to be another shut out. For seven innings,Reds starter Homer Bailey kept the Phillies off the scoreboard. It wasn't quite as pathetic as it sounded. They were hitting the ball hard, they were just going into gloves. Still, it was starting to get ugly. The unsung heroes of this game were […]
