Philliedelphia/Frank KloseIt's been six long months. Six excruciating months filled with pessimism surrounded by injuries, optimism surrounded by new acquitations, and eagerness to get back on the field and go for it all once again. Today is Opening Day, the slate is clean, Spring Training stats don't matter, the pages have turned and the mindsets are […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Just last month, the Phillies had 40 men competing for a spot on the 25-man Opening Day roster. After last night's final decisions, the Opening Day roster is set and it's looking a bit blank with the absences of Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. Although the Phillies will start the season with […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. (Photo courtesy of Lindsey Crew)So the Phillies lost their last home game of Spring yesterday. Not the best note to leave Clearwater with, but there is still one last game to be played. The Phillies will head up to Lake Buena Vista to play the Braves at Champion Stadium. It's been a […]
Posted by Rich Wilkins In Dom Brown's first game for the Iron Pigs after being sent down, he answered any questions about whether or not he'll give it a good go there. Brown hit a homer, and went 2-for-3 in his first game back. Putting his major and minor league numbers together for the […]

Posted by Erik Seybold The professor has spoken once again. This time it's not about being the team to beat, nor is it a claim to win 120 games. This time, it's about his injured teammates. Phillies' shortstop Jimmy Rollins is practically the only starting infielder playing any games this Spring. Chase Utley is being […]
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 In the 6th inning of the Phillies – Marlins game on Sunday, Hunter Pence hit a long drive to right field in which Marlins outfielder Bryan Petersen jumped to catch the ball. It appeared that a fan reached over and did interfere with the ball. However, interference was not called by […]
Posted by Frank Klose According to today's Philadephia Inquirer, the Phillies went 49-19 in their final 60 games. I thought the Phillies were just so good that they won eight of their losses. But, it turns out the Phillies were 41-19 in their final 60 games. That's pretty good, I guess. The Phillies entered play […]
