Cliff Lee
Although they are sitting dead last in the NL East, the Phillies are not the worst team in baseball. Their 29-33 record is better than six other Major League teams. For instance, the Minnesota Twins are 24-35, they sit 8 1/2 games back in the AL Central and most likely will stay there. Tonight the […]
(Photo: Courtesy of @Michael_LeSage) Chase Utley will officially begin his rehab assignment tomorrow. Utley will DH for the Single-A Clearwater Threshers as they take on the Tampa Yankees. Utley most recently arrived in Clearwater and after a week of extended spring training, he seems ready to be put into real game situations. According to Todd […]
Cliff Lee came into this rubber match hoping to earn his first win of the season. The Orioles had other plans for him and would show this Philadelphia team why they're in first place in the AL East. Baltimore scored first this afternoon with an RBI single from Ronnie Paulino, scoring Adam Jones. The Phillies […]
SI.com features a poll conducted with MLB players on who the most "overrated" pitchers in major league baseball are. Four Phillies made the list: Roy Halladay (13th), Cole Hamels (15th), Cliff Lee (11th), and Jonathan Papelbon (fifth). There are a lot of pitchers on the list such as John Lackey, Ubaldo Jimenez, Joba Chamberlain […]
The Phillies will look to erase the recent sweep by the Dodgers tonight and this weekend as they embark on an eight-game Interleague Play road trip. Having lost six straight games to end their depressing home stand, maybe a little Interleague Play for the Phils will be able to fix that – hopefully. Tonight, The […]
(Philliedelphia/Danielle Wilson) Cliff Lee in June, 2011: 5-0, 0.21 ERA. Lee's month of June last year was quite frankly the greatest month I've ever seen a pitcher have. I'm sure Cliff Lee was tired of losing or getting a no-decision, so he pitched like his dominant self tonight. However, the offense would continue to fail […]
Cliff Lee is still winless on June 5th. Granted, he did miss a few starts with an injury, but after eight starts Lee sits at 0-2 with a 3.00 ERA. Time and time again Lee has been plagued by poor run support from the Phillies lineup. The Phillies once again look to their traditional […]
Carlos Ruiz and the Phillies open a four-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) This is the last team the Phillies wanted to see. For a team that can't seem to get into a groove or win consistently at home, into town roll baseball's best team so far this season: the Los […]
Jose Contreras is going to the DL and it is retroactive to his appearance in the 7th inning of tonight's game. He is scheduled for an MRI this weekend. Conteras could not even record an out before falling to the ground in pain and agony after throwing a pitch. At first the Phillies reported that […]
I'm feeling lucky today. My high school graduation practice went smoothly, I avoided a car accident on the way home and I won $3 from the lottery. The only thing that blows is that I could be at this game, but I couldn't get off of work. Hopefully most of my luck is with Kyle […]
