2012
Thanks to @jjbuttons for sharing this: Strike three would have ended the game.
To: Philliedelphia Bloggers From: Blogmaster Bloggers, attached is the standard 2012 recap. Use it when appropriate. ~Blogmaster Frank Standard 2012 Recap [Insert photo of player grimace] The Phillies fell short tonight in National League baseball action against the [opponent]. Phillies starter [insert name] was less than sharp tonight, surrendering [insert large number] runs in just […]
Well, that's it. Ruben Amaro has given up on the Phillies for the 2012 season. In case you did not pick that up by a lack of moves when things went wrong, his trade of Jim Thome to the Baltimore Orioles for nothing that would help this 2012 club shows that it is over. […]
Photo courtesy @schrammalot Well, it took almost three hours, but the Phillies have finally postponed tonight's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Sunday. The 1:35 p.m. game will be moved up to 1:05; the second game will be played at 6:36 p.m. […]
Fresh off some encouraging news that catcher Carlos Ruiz will be okay, the Phillies turn to Cliff Lee for game 2 in Toronto. Not okay is Antonio Bastardo, who Madsoned a squat machine. With B.J. Rosenberg optioned out for some catching depth and Bastardo out, the Phillies will need a strong, lengthy performance from Cliff […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew Game 1 the Phillies prevailed in spite of a rough pitching performance from Joe Blanton, who gave up 5 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings. An explosion from the offense thanks to the bats of Jim Thome and Shane Victorino made the Phillies victorious. Game 2 went to poor defense. Jimmy […]
Really simple: -Thome hits a home run as DH and has two hits -Mike Fontenot's glove shows his .400 bat isn't worth it -Hunter Pence airmails a throw that would have saved a run -Teams go extra innings thanks to said run -Some rookie (B.J. Rosenberg) has to pitch with the game on the line […]
Hey, remember when the Phillies and Dodgers were the best two teams in the NL? One team really wishes they still did, and it's not who you would have expected. The Dodgers, armed with the NL's best record, look to make it three wins in a row at Philadelphia, and send the Phillies to a […]
Cliff Lee is still winless on June 5th. Granted, he did miss a few starts with an injury, but after eight starts Lee sits at 0-2 with a 3.00 ERA. Time and time again Lee has been plagued by poor run support from the Phillies lineup. The Phillies once again look to their traditional […]
The Phillies had one more game in Flushing (like "flushing a toilet"), New York at Citi Field and the series was at stake. Dillon Gee went up against Cliff Lee who can't buy a win for the Phillies. Well, Cliff Lee did not win again. The 1st inning was a little rocky for Lee, giving […]
