According to early reports from ESPN's Buster Olney, the lefthander and the Phillies have agreed to a six-year, $144MM contract extension. Hamels and the team will announce the deal in a press conference later on this morning at CBP. Late last night, word broke out […]
Cole Hamels is reportedly close to a six-year extension with the Phillies. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) After winning three straight games in dramatic fashion, maybe things are turning around for the Phillies. One of the big things that say their not sellers: extending Cole Hamels. The Phillies appear to have done that. After making a six-year offer […]
Danielle Wilson/Philliedelphia This didn't look promising from the sixth inning on, but another burst of offense would lead the Phillies to another comeback win, as crazy as it sounds. Another rough start to tonight's game led the Brewers to scoring the first run. This happened in the top of the first when Corey Hart singled […]
Last night, the Phillies capped off an extraordinary comeback in the series opener against the Brewers. Down 6-3 in the bottom half of the 9th, the Phillies mounted four runs off of Francisco "Beats His Father-in-Law" Rodriguez to win the game, 7-6.

Cliff Lee is still an elite pitcher in Major League Baseball. Cliff Lee was perhaps the most beloved player in Phillies history never to play a full season with the team. And then he was dealt. And then Phillies fans rejoiced as he re-signed prior to last season. As the trade deadline nears and […]
The Phillies barely escaped a sweep at the hands of the Giants yesterday. It was too close to call as the Phils took their second game in a row into extra innings. Unlike Saturday's game, the Phils were able to rally up a walkoff hit as Jimmy Rollins knocked in Carlos Ruiz with a single […]
Ugh. Well they're back to the losing spirit in Philly. The Phillies dropped game two of three against the Giants this afternoon's slugfest in what was set to be a pitcher's duel. Cole Hamels entered this game with an 11-4 record and a 3.07 ERA and left with the same record but a much higher 3.23 […]
We were all good and happy last night at reports that the Phillies were offering free agent-to-be Cole Hamels between $142 and $144 million over six years. But this morning on 97.5 the Fanatic, Assistant Program Director and weekend host Joe DeCamara had an interesting take: the face that we are learning of this offer […]
