Carlos Ruiz
If you were hoping for a game with lots of hitting and lots of excitement, you watched the right ballgame this evening. After taking game one of this doubleheader with a walk-off victory, the Phillies were looking for a clean sweep of the Rockies tonight in game two. The Phillies scored first this evening in […]
The Phillies are coming off of a six-game road trip in which they took both series two to one. First, the Phillies took the first two of three against the Braves over the weekend. Eying up a sweep, a disaster ensued and the Phillies moved on to Cincinnati for a three-game set with the NL […]
An interest report emerged during the Phillies-Nationals game tonight from Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer. It appears that the Phillies have been thinking about using Carlos Ruiz at third base on occasion next season: A source said Ruben Amaro Jr. recently discussed with Ruiz the possibility of playing some third base in 2013. Amaro […]
The Phillies may have traded two-thirds of their outfield yesterday after a dismal first-half of the season, resulting in a fire sale in the Phillie's front office, but they came right out of the gates last night and pounced on Stephen Strasburg to take game one of this three game set. After an 8-0 victory […]
Missing from tonight's lineup is Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz. Chooch has a foot injury that has been causing him considerable pain, reports the Delaware County Times' Ryan Lawrence. Not included in the blog is a quote from Chooch that the injury "felt like a knife" in the back of his ankle. To keep playing, […]
Merry Christmas in July, everyone! Cole Hamels' fresh six-year contract extension was a pretty sweet gift, but how about a sweep? The Phils sent the Vanimal, Vance Worley to the mound to silence the Brewers and go for the first series sweep of the year. Martin Maldonado would bring home the first run of the […]
Danielle Wilson/Philliedelphia This didn't look promising from the sixth inning on, but another burst of offense would lead the Phillies to another comeback win, as crazy as it sounds. Another rough start to tonight's game led the Brewers to scoring the first run. This happened in the top of the first when Corey Hart singled […]

In an interview with 94 WIP's Michael Barkann and Ike Reese, Pence expressed his feelings about Philadelphia and its fans as well as making his preferance clear that he'd rather lose here than be […]
These late night games can really get weird. Joe Blanton opened up a series in Los Angeles with a whale of an effort (unintentional weight joke, you're lookin' good, Joe) to shut down the Dodgers' lineup for the most part. The leaders in the National League West and the bottom feeders of the National League […]

Much like last night's game, the Phillies scored first and they scored early. Carlos Ruiz singled to left to bring home Shane […]
