Carlos Ruiz
Phew! When it seemed to be another horrible blow to an injury-ridden season for the Phillies, the team finally has some good news. Ryan Lawrence of the Delaware County Times reports that Carlos Ruiz had a simple cramp, not an oblique strain. For insurance, the Phillies have called up catcher Erik Kratz anyway for some […]
Oh, Canada. The Blue Jays have been very unlucky this past week with the loss of Brandon Morrow due to a left oblique strain, and Kyle Drabek with a torn UCL. Both are on the 15-day DL as of right now, but both injuries are likely substantial. As if losing two starters isn't bad enough, […]
The Phillies looked really good tonight for the first time in a while. The bats were working and the arm of their starting pitcher, Joe Blanton, was good enough to defeat the Twins 6-1. The Phils struck first in the second inning when Ty Wigginton hit a solo home run, his seventh of the season. […]

For the second time in his career, Feliz will be playing third base for the Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League […]
Well, this wasn't much of a step-up from last night to say the least. In what was one of the most painful games to watch, the Twins crushed the Phils' bullpen last night, taking game one 11-7. The Phillies were looking to even the series tonight with Cole Hamels on the mound and Placido Polanco […]
The Phillies were simply looking to have fun coming into this series against the Minnesota Twins. As assumed by the fans, the entire Phils lineup sported high socks tonight in honor of Jim Thome. Whether that's true or not, it's certainly different. Also, a majority of the team wore Hunter Pence's t-shirts that read […]
Another interleague series is underway between the Orioles and Phillies at Camden Yards. Joe Blanton, much like the Orioles started the season hot but has cooled off of late. Blanton has had four straight less than great starts, and was looking to have a better outing against Jake Arrieta. This game would be a "doozy," […]
“The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.”~Lyndon B. Johnson Okay – it's time to get rid of this horrible injustice. Carlos Ruiz is ranked FOURTH amount catchers in the National League All-Star […]
The Phillies had one more game in Flushing (like "flushing a toilet"), New York at Citi Field and the series was at stake. Dillon Gee went up against Cliff Lee who can't buy a win for the Phillies. Well, Cliff Lee did not win again. The 1st inning was a little rocky for Lee, giving […]
Well isn't this just freakin' swell? Roy Halladay has been placed on the DL later and Erik Kratz has taken his roster spot. Carlos Ruiz is available for tonight and the lineup card seemed to reveal (and now confirmed) that Doc will be headed to the DL. Todd Zolecki reports that it is a grade 1- […]
