Former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels will put a bow on his career on Friday night in South Philadelphia. The crafty lefty, an integral part of the club’s most recent era of sustained success, will “officially” retire as a member of the Phillies. Hamels actually retired in August 2023 after a failed comeback attempt […]
Cole Hamels announced Friday afternoon that he will be retiring alongside Padres teammate Craig Stammen (via Bob Nightengale of USA Today).

Posted by Mike Frohwirth Last night's loss was a tough one. Mostly because losing to the Mets ever is just not fun. Of course, we didn't expect to win every game, did we? Even the best teams will lose 60-70 games. There are two questions we should consider, with respect to Charlie Manuel's performance last […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Last night was ugly. A 7-1 loss, at home, to a Mets team whom many believe will be among the NL's weakest. A six-run third inning, in which the Mets, for all intents and purposes, put the game out of the Phillies' reach. Phillies fans in attendance had to endure the […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy cbonlineradio.com I still vividly remember Monday, December 13th. I had just left my job at La Salle University around 4:30 p.m., and was listening to MLB Network Radio as I was driving down Olney Avenue and passing the Broad and Olney Terminal.
