Cliff Lee
Posted by Frank Klose and @PatEgan Every once in a while I'll snap a picture of a jersey I see at a Phillies game that just seems too ridiculous to ever wear, and a friend introduced me to Pat Egan, who does the same. WMMS – What would Mike Missanelli say: a violation or no? […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth When St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony LaRussa announced his postseason pitching rotation, there was jubilation- among the Phillies' fanbase. As Cardinals' ace Chris Carpenter pitched in the division-clinching win on Wednesday, he will be unable to pitch until Game 3. But LaRussa also made the surprising move of holding his 2nd […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Clifton Phifer Lee and Dontrelle Willis, two pitchers who really like to hit. Their bats were quiet tonight, though, as Cliff Lee left his teammates to do the scoring. The Reds, well, they were trying to hit against Cliff Lee, which usually never works for anyone. Some fantastic base running from […]
Posted by Laurie Dougherty It is mid-August and the Philadelphia Phillies have had an amazing season thus far. They have arguably the best rotation in baseball. Following the games of August 17, 2011, the Phillies have an 8 ½ game lead on the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. Talk has surfaced in the […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Kate (Waterlady) on Tumblr What you're looking at is the 6' 8" relief pitcher Michael Schwimer, who walked to the bullpen at Citizens Bank Park for the first time, sporting Michael Stutes' old backpack. Schwim wouldn't be needed tonight though, because it was all about Cliff Lee for seven […]
Posted by Kevin Durso Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso Sunday, July 24th. The Phillies are in the middle of a four-game series against the Padres, working on their fifth straight win. But, while all that is going on, the man behind the 2008 World Champion Phillies was receiving baseball’s highest honor. Pat Gillick was being inducted into baseball’s […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Wow, what a quick game this was at AT&T Park in San Fran. We can thank Cliff Lee for that, who pitched a beautiful game and was backed up by some early home runs by the Phils. The first run of the game scored on Hunter Pence's first home run as […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images Hunter Pence and Placido Polanco were both in the lineup tonight, fielding their usual positions behind Cliff Lee. That alone should be enough to want to watch this game. An Ace, a brand new right-fielder fresh off the plane from visiting Milwaukee, and a returning veteran who is […]
Posted by Frank Klose Photo courtesy usatoday.net Well, it's that time of the year again. Kevin Durso just wrote a nice piece called "The Bigger the Better: A Look at Possible Big-Name Trades" that takes a look at some of the big-name pieces that could be coming to Philadelphia. However, Twitter is abuzz with paranoid […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast I almost didn't write a recap for tonight's game until the eighth inning, when the Phils finally scored a run. It was quite an ugly game prior to that inning. Of course, the pitching was spectacular from Cliff Lee and the 'pen, but it was […]
