Posted by Danielle Wilson Vance Worley…fifth ace? This kid can pitch like one, and hit like Cole Hamels. The 23-year-old righty started tonight for the Phillies against Jason Marquis, and Worley pitched just as well, if not better than Joe Blanton in his second replacement start. The Phillies scored the first run of the game […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the first of this three-game series against the Washington Nationals, Cole Hamels (3-1, 3.13 ERA) took the mound against Livan Hernandez (3-2, 3.20 ERA) for Jayson Werth's homecoming game. The reaction from the fans was already posted by Stephen Gallo on this fabulous website. Cole Hamels was doing what he […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Harry Leroy Halladay III was unquestionably dealing this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park against the LOLMets. Unquestionably. Through the first three innings, Doc threw 23 pitches, 21 for strikes. He allowed two singles, but did anyone care? Not at all.

Through six scoreless innings, he allowed just two hits, walking four and striking out five. Vancey pants, eh? In 19 innings pitched […]

Vance Worley (2-2, 2.78 ERA in four starts in Lehigh Valley) has been called up and will start on Friday against the New York Mets in his place. What the hell!? Update 8:52 P.M.: […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the last game of this three-game series in Arizona, the Phillies avoided the sweep by taking an 8-4 win over the Diamondbacks. Unfortunately, they had to do it without Carlos Ruiz who left the game in the first inning due to lower back tightness. Cole Hamels took the mound […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I don't know where to begin with this one. Cliff Lee was dominant, but gave up two home runs. The Phillies' defense was top-notch, but their offense was putrid. I could have sworn that the Diamondbacks had the worst team ERA in baseball, but apparently Ian Kennedy was able to shut down […]
