David Herndon had Tommy John Surgery this afternoon. Freddy Galvis was suspended 50 games after testing positive for PED's. Laynce Nix suffered a set-back thanks to a strained left calf today. Michael Stutes needs surgery on his shoulder to figure out what's wrong. Needless to say, this win tonight was much needed with all of […]
This series between the Phillies and Rockies is going to show us either of these things: 1. The Phillies are going to be able to beat the Rockies two games to one or even better. 2. The Phillies will lose to the Rockies two games to one or even worse. 3. The Phillies and Rockies […]
It's great to see the Phillies having some fun, and they did so while supporting the Shane Victorino Foundation which donates to the Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia.
