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 […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of USAToday.com It has come to my attention that Phillies fans love bromances. What's a bromance you ask? A bromance is a highly formed friendship formed by two "bros". This bromance between shortstop Jimmy Rollins and first baseman Ryan Howard has been growing stronger since the first year they played […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson During the first dollar dog night of the season, Joe Blanton (please, no fat jokes) took the bump against Brewers starter Shaun Marcum. There are a couple of guys in the Brew Crew's lineup that are known to really hit against the Phillies, such as Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun, but […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy Espn.com Roy Oswalt took the mound today for the Phils in Atlanta, going against young starter Brandon Beachy. The only change in the lineup was Brian Schneider replacing Carlos Ruiz behind the plate, which turned out to be a very good idea. Just like last night, the offense was there in […]

Chooch started behind the plate today, and Michael Martinez started at second in replace of Wilson Valdez who Charlie allowed to take the day off. Cole tossed three straight 1-2-3 innings, striking out four, […]

The voice of our summers. The voice of Veterans Stadium and Citizens Bank Park. The voice of the 2008 World Series champions. There is absolutely […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Daylife.com Let me start this recap by quoting Pete Rose: “Somebody has to win, and somebody has to lose, and I believe in letting the other guys lose.” The Phillies were generous tonight and allowed the Mets to lose this one. The first inning was a beauty for Joe Blanton, who […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I am a Shane maniac and have come to terms with this. The following is a recap of all things Shane in the past week. Let me start off the first week of "Insane For Shane" by getting this across: I am madly in love with Shane Patrick Victorino. It started […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson This game was without a doubt the best of the Phillies-Mets series. Roy Halladay started this day game, and you know how Halladay likes to kill our N.L. East rivals! Doc tossed 7 scoreless innings for the Phils today, allowing only six hits, and issuing one walk, striking out seven. He […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I can’t explain how loud Citizen’s Bank Park was tonight. Why was it so loud? Clifton Phifer Lee started his first game as a Philadelphia Phillie in 2011. Cliff didn’t fail to remind us just how incredible of a pitcher he is. In the first inning, he […]
