Boston Red Sox
24 hours remain for teams to sell, buy and trade their players in an effort to either clear house or improve their roster for a play off run. The Phillies are definite sellers this July 31st, but so far have not made a fire sale. Unlike last year when the Phillies traded Hunter Pence and […]
According to CBS Sports' Danny Kobler, the Boston Red Sox have announced to teams that they are intending to trade 3B Kevin Youkilis. From MLBTrade Rumors: Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe suggested yesterday that the Giants, Diamondbacks and Dodgers are among the teams with interest in Youkilis. The Phillies and Indians were linked to the corner infielder […]
Cliff Lee's win total this season: 0. Cliff Lee's win total after today's game: Still 0. Cliff has had multiple quality starts this season before and after his trip to the disabled list, but he has not been given very much run support to work with. Unfortunately, Cliff didn't have his best stuff today against […]
The Phils' winning streak came to a hault last night, but that doesn't mean they can't get back on the horse and keep winning. With the series split at one-a-piece, the Phillies are aiming to take the series over the Red Sox, and they're sending out Cliff Lee (0-1, 1.95 ERA). Lee is making his […]
Thanks to @meechone who capped this pic for our enjoyment back in 2008.Look Out Ladies! Today, Pat "the Bat" will officially retire as a Phillie after he signs a one-day contract with the team he got his start from. There will be a nice ceremony before the game, he'll throw out the first pitch and most […]
Ah, interleague baseball. Some hate it, some love it, and some don't care who the Phillies are playing, as long as they keep this hot streak going. They did just that tonight against the Boston Red Sox with Cole Hamels on the mound for the Phils. Carlos Ruiz would provide multiple RBI's once more in […]
Coming back from a 4-0 road trip, the Phillies are finally over .500 and are currently riding a five-game winning streak. They'll look to continue that streak as Interleague Play begins tonight. The Phils will host the Red Sox to open a three-game, weekend set. This is the first Interleague series that the Phillies will […]
Philliedelphia/Frank KloseIt's been six long months. Six excruciating months filled with pessimism surrounded by injuries, optimism surrounded by new acquitations, and eagerness to get back on the field and go for it all once again. Today is Opening Day, the slate is clean, Spring Training stats don't matter, the pages have turned and the mindsets are […]
Posted by Frank Klose Well, the Phillies have their new fifth ace: Joel Piñeiro, according to ESPN. OK, that's harsh. Piñero, most famous for his attempt to be a closer in Boston while Jonathan Papelbon attempted the starting rotation, will be in camp on a minor league contract. Piñeiro, presumably, would be attempting to crack the […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson It's official. Madson's out, Papelbon's in. Jonathan Papelbon, the 30 year old closer from the Boston Red Sox, is without a doubt one of the greatest closers in the game. Those words are music to Ruben Amaro Jr's ears. Papelbon and the Phillies have agreed on a four-year, $50 million contract […]
