Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of AP Photo/H. Rumph Jr. Cliff Lee toed the rubber, grasped the ball, and before he could even toss the first pitch of the game, the rain came down causing a 32 minute rain delay. Cliff wasn't pleased with the weather, and you could definitely tell by his reaction […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Drew Hallowell/Getty Images Davey Lopes, Rod Barajas, and the rest of the Los Angeles Dodgers are here to visit for three games, this one starting Cliff Lee and Ted Lilly, both are lefty's.

Posted by Mike Frohwirth Kyle Kendrick In a pair of connected moves, the Phillies announced that RHP Kyle Kendrick will start in Pittsburgh on Saturday, and that LHP Mike Zagurski will replace optioned RHP Vance Worley on the MLB roster.

For the record, I don't care how many runs the Phillies scored today, I'm still excited over Valdez pitching. I mean, Valdez was […]

Posted by Danielle Wilson Going into tonight's game which is game number 40 of the season, the Phillies' record is the exact same as it was this time last year, and with a 25-14 record last season, they won game number 40. Time to advance to 26-14, and luckily for the Phils, they have Cliff […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth On Saturday, we examined some possible courses of action that the Phillies could take, assuming that the world will come to an end on Saturday, May 21st. The Phillies have, apparently, chosen to go in another direction. For their Monday night game against right-hander Jake Westbrook and the Cardinals, they have […]
