Bryce Harper
The Phillies' winning streak snapped Saturday night and their new losing streak began yesterday when they lost 5-1 to Boston. That series is over and it's time to look forward. The Phillies will be home for the next three days before embarking on a seven-game road trip. Tonight, they open up their second series of […]
Bryce Harper's self-imposed bloody eye was not voice enough. Harper had to speak about the Phillies fans and what he would expect when he comes to Citizens Bank Park as the Phillies take on the Nationals starting tomorrow night at 7:05. Rich Hofmann of the Daily News had some quotes from Harper: “Hopefully, I get […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's been well over a month since we've heard any talk about Cole Hamels and his contract situation. The 28-year old is in his final year as a Phillie and as of now he's showing what he's worth. According to NBC's Howard Eskin, Cole Hamels' agent John Boggs has told the Phillies […]
Remember when Cole Hamels hit Bryce Harper? Harper made Hamels look really bad because he took the mature road and only showed him up by stealing home and making fans' jaws drop. Immaturity among the immature can only hide for so long, and Harper made himself look really bad. Last night after going 0-5 […]
We figured that a suspension was forthcoming and showed that the last two pitchers suspended for throwing at players were each suspended five games a piece.

Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo responded to last night's Bryce Harper hit-by-pitch at the hands of Cole Hamels in today's Washington Post blog by Adam Kilgore. “I’ve been I’ve never seen a more classes, gutless chicken [bleep] act in my 30 years in baseball. “Cole Hamels says he’s old school? He’s the polar opposite of old […]
Ok, so Cole Hamels fessed up: I’m not going to lie and say I wasn’t trying to do it. I think they understood the messages, and they threw it right back, and I think that’s the way it is, and I respect it. And now he's probably going to get suspended. And in a very […]
It's not easy listening to an ESPN broadcast in which they frequently mention the "first place Nationals and last place Phillies." But, it is easy to enjoy a defeat of this Nationals team, considering they took the first two games. Prior to the start of the game, ESPN sent out a text alert to those […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) There are a lot of things I hate. I hate mayonnaise, snakes, racoons, and horse raddish. But there is nothing I hate more than seeing the Phillies being swept. Now, the Phillies came into this "Take Back the Park" weekend with a .500 record and after the first two games, they sit […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies won their third series of the season yesterday as Joe Blanton was freaking phenomenal against the Braves. A three-hit shutout? I don't know where it came from, but I loved it. Anyway, the Phillies won't play the Braves again until July 6-8, so we'll get back to them later. Tonight, the […]
