Posted by Erik Seybold (Photo Courtesy of Lindsey Crew) Yesterday's loss was not only annoying, but the game itself was just plain old boring. The Phillies lost the nearly four hour game to the Yankees, 13-9 and brought their Spring record down to 12-15-3. Today, Roy Halladay (1-1, 5.40 ERA) will make his final Grapefruit […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the final Friday game of spring training and the first night game for the Phillies this spring, left-handed relief pitcher Antonio Bastardo took the hill in Tampa against Michael Pineda for the Yankees. Pineda struggled early allowing three straight singles to Juan Pierre, Shane Victorino, and Jimmy Rollins. Juan Pierre […]
Posted by Kevin Durso The Phillies' franchise-record 102nd win of the season, ended the Atlanta Braves push for a playoff spot. Even in Game #162, baseball wouldn't go down without a fight. So, as the innings carried on, the excitement level just continued to pick up. This was as close to a Postseason preview as […]
Posted by Frank Klose Cole Hamels look a little off when facing the Red Sox and the Athletics? He was a little itchy. Ditto Ross Gload. According to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com, Hamels, Gload, and Carlos Ruiz flew to Roy Oswalt's home in Weir, MO for a quick fishing trip. Not used to the Missouri […]

As you can see, there's a huge Marlin on the side (he has it painted on both sides, so they […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Cole Hamels went for his tenth win of the season tonight, attempting to become the first National League pitcher to reach ten wins. Roy Halladay went for that feat on Thursday, but unfortunately the offense came too late in the game, after Roy was taken out. It felt like 2010 tonight, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson . Following last night's masterful outing from Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt took the mound against Chris Carpenter tonight for the possible series sweep in St. Louis. Unfortunately, the Cardinals got to little Roy early on, starting with John Jay's solo homer to right field in the bottom of the first […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of AP Photo/ Jeff Roberson Following Monday's off day for the Phils, they started a three-game series in St. Louis, starting with Roy Halladay against Kyle McClellan. The Cardinals were quite obviously without Albert Pujols, and will be for the next 6-8 weeks. Whomp. Speaking of the number six, that's […]
Posted by Frank Klose Cole Hamels must have been easy to read for the New York Mets' coaching staff, because in the early going, the Mets were running all over Hamels and Carlos Ruiz. Just 2 2/3 innings in, the Mets had stolen five bases. Two of those bases were stolen by Jose Reyes, and […]
Posted by Stephen Gallo I’m not breaking any new ground with this post, Michael Baumann over at Phillies Nation wrote a great post about his experience at last night's game earlier this morning. I did, however, want to share my own experiences from last night’s wild and raucous Phillies game. It’s a game that could define the season […]
