Carlos Ruiz
Today, the Phillies are looking to take the series in New York after taking yesterday's game by force, winning 8-4. Ty Wigginton came up clutch, going 3-3 with 6 RBI including a three-run home run. It put the Phils ahead and they'd never look back. It's good to have those kinds of games. Cole Hamels […]
Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz was a late scratch before the Phillies Memorial Day 1:00 p.m. game in New York at Citi Field. He was said to be "day to day" at the time. But, the AAA Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs played a night game and pulled from the original lineup was Iron Pigs catcher Erik […]
Last night, Carlos Ruiz caught the Freddy Galvis relay through and held onto the ball as Yadier Molina barrelled down upon him in the 8th inning. Whoever was running the @MLB Twitter account apparently was impressed but managed to offend a bunch of people with their tweet that followed: Why is it offensive? Here are […]
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 […]
Carlos Ruiz after stealing second base on Friday night. Carlos Ruiz has been the heart and soul of the Phillies' revival over the last week. The Phillies have won now six games in a row and seem to be carrying plenty of momentum going forward. While the Phillies remain in last place, the gap is […]
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 […]
Finally, a win for Roy Halladay. Doc pitched a masterpiece tonight at Wrigley and received run support, which is a rarity of late for this team. After five straight starts without a win, Roy picked up his fourth of the season in the Phillies' fifth consecutive win. Chris Volstad has never been lucky against the […]

The Phillies are sitting at .500 for the first time since April 7th and are aiming to go above the .500 mark for the first time since Opening Day. […]
Kyle Kendrick took the mound in Chicago tonight in place of Vance Worley, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list today with elbow soreness. This might sound like a trainwreck waiting to happen, but Kyle pitched surprisingly well considering he started on short notice. The Phillies' offense was downright incredible tonight, including a surprising […]
