It seems like the only way we're going to be able to beat teams is by scoring a lot of runs. It took 9 last night to beat the Twins and they still almost caught up to us. It's a good thing that the bats are working, but at the same time it's a bad […]
Well, this wasn't much of a step-up from last night to say the least. In what was one of the most painful games to watch, the Twins crushed the Phils' bullpen last night, taking game one 11-7. The Phillies were looking to even the series tonight with Cole Hamels on the mound and Placido Polanco […]
Yes I said miracle. It's that bad right now that the Phillies need a miracle to show some signs that they are not cellar dwellers. The Phillies have dropped from 2 1/2 games out of first to 9 1/2 in just ten games. Not to mention they have lost 9 out of their last 10 […]
Roy Halladay has been out for two weeks since leaving his start against the Cardinals early on May 27. The Phillies are 4-10 since then. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) When Roy Halladay joined a crowded DL two weeks ago, the Phillies had to know they were in for the biggest test of their five-year reign in the […]
Although they are sitting dead last in the NL East, the Phillies are not the worst team in baseball. Their 29-33 record is better than six other Major League teams. For instance, the Minnesota Twins are 24-35, they sit 8 1/2 games back in the AL Central and most likely will stay there. Tonight the […]
SI.com features a poll conducted with MLB players on who the most "overrated" pitchers in major league baseball are. Four Phillies made the list: Roy Halladay (13th), Cole Hamels (15th), Cliff Lee (11th), and Jonathan Papelbon (fifth). There are a lot of pitchers on the list such as John Lackey, Ubaldo Jimenez, Joba Chamberlain […]
The Phillies finally won a game last night as they bested the Orioles, 9-6 to take game one of this three game set. The bats broke out pushing across nine runs on 12 hits, giving enough cushion room for Joe Blanton to get the win. Today, Vance Worley (3-2, 3.38 ERA) will make his second […]
The Phillies will look to erase the recent sweep by the Dodgers tonight and this weekend as they embark on an eight-game Interleague Play road trip. Having lost six straight games to end their depressing home stand, maybe a little Interleague Play for the Phils will be able to fix that – hopefully. Tonight, The […]
If there is anything I'm afraid of with this team, it's losing Cole Hamels (8-2, 2.81 ERA). Hamels hasbeen my favorite Phillie since he came up from the minors. The thought of him pitching in another uniform makes me cringe and today he'll be taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers. A team who is rumored […]
Carlos Ruiz and the Phillies open a four-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) This is the last team the Phillies wanted to see. For a team that can't seem to get into a groove or win consistently at home, into town roll baseball's best team so far this season: the Los […]
