Ben Revere is young and talented…but may have to go The Phillies have a problem… a left-handed problem. The word "sinister" may be the best word to describe the Phillies lineup for next year. No, there's nothing evil about it (definition 1), but I would say that dictionary.com's point three and point four explain the […]
The Phillies and Braves opened up a three-game series tonight in Philadelphia. This series will be the last time Braves third baseman Chipper Jones sees Philadelphia in his final season of major league baseball. So what better way to congratulate Chipper on a Hall of Fame career than with a smattering of boos, a few […]
Some nights you have it, some nights you don't. Ben Sheets of the Atlanta Braves had it tonight, while Vance Worley had anything but "it." Tonight also marked the end of the 257 consecutive sellouts streak, 273 including the postseasons. Interesting, no? Worley tonight lasted just 3 & 2/3 innings allowing four earned runs on […]
The Phillies are finally out of last place. Although they don't hold sole possession of the cellar, they still remain 10 games under .500 and 16 games back in the division. While sitting 12 1/2 games back in the Wild Card. There is a chance that the Phillies could pull a miracle run. But that […]
Cole Hamels made his first start tonight since signing his six-year contract extension. He's coming off a loss against the Giants in which he allowed five runs on ten hits. This wouldn't be a much better start in Atlanta. The Phillies scored first off of Ben Sheets. Sheets has made two starts this season […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew This is the Phillies last game before headed into the All-Star break. Despite the break being just four days, it's the biggest break between games they've had all year and maybe they can figure something out. The Phillies have already dropped this series to Atlanta after losing the first two games, but […]
Amidst a stretch of games played against the National League East, the Phillies' woes grew worse tonight in the second game of this three-game series against Tommy Hanson and the Braves. Brian McCann, coming off a big night, went deep again in the top of the second to put up the first run of the […]
The final series of the first half began tonight in Philadelphia with the Atlanta Braves paying a visit. Kyle Kendrick and Tim Hudson would square off in what would turn into quite the pitcher's duel. With Ryan Howard back in the lineup, the Phillies were looking better than they have all season, and the Braves […]
My goodness, what a game. We watched as Roy Halladay slowly became human, followed by an unbelievable come back, followed by more mayhem, followed by another come back, and then a not so happy ending. The Phillies were playing excellent baseball against the sluggish Tommy Hansen. They were really making him work, and were working […]
(Philliedelphia/Danielle Wilson) Cole Hamels and Brandon Beachy squared off tonight in Atlanta in the two teams' first meeting of the 2012 season. The Braves scratched Chipper Jones and Jason Heyward while the Phillies are still without Jim Thome (sore back). The Phils were without a hit until the fourth inning when Placido Polanco, who has […]
