It's not hard to tell that the NL East isn't going to be an easy breeze for the Phillies this year. The Nationals are serious contenders and not the joke of the league anymore, the Marlins are re-stocked and re-branded, the Braves haven't really changed a whole lot, and the Mets – well – they're […]
Cole Hamels took the mound this evening looking for his ninth win, which would lead the majors. After allowing five runs for the first time since last July, he would take the loss after the Phillies' offense failed to come from behind. After a quick 12-pitch inning from Hamels, Carlos Ruiz (who else?) put up […]
The Phillies won last night's series opener 6-4 and today they'll play in an effort to move 4 games above .500 for the first time this season. Cole Hamels (8-1, 2.43 ERA) has the chance to become the first nine-game winner this afternoon as he takes on the Marlins for the second time this season. […]
The Phillies took two of three games from the Marlins in their first meeting at Citizens Bank Park in April. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) When you look at the NL East, considering the state of the Phillies this season, you may be surpised at the standings. This is as good a logjam as any. Five teams separated […]
Today, the Phillies are looking to take the series in New York after taking yesterday's game by force, winning 8-4. Ty Wigginton came up clutch, going 3-3 with 6 RBI including a three-run home run. It put the Phils ahead and they'd never look back. It's good to have those kinds of games. Cole Hamels […]
Wearing one of the better-looking Stars and Stripes collection hats in a long time, the Phillies headed up to Shea Stadium in New York and got back into the winning spirit. Phillies fans must be aware that a Shake Shack is opening in Philadelphia and so therefore had no need to go to Citi […]

We here at Philliedelphia would love to express our appreciation and gratitude to the men and women who have served and who are currently serving for our country. I wouldn't be here typing this article if it weren't for all of you. Memorial Day baseball is a big […]
I've got a date with my grandmother today and a slight hangover so here's a quick preview for you guys. 8 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, Loss. That was Roy Halladay's line the last time he faced the Cardinals, in Game 5 of the NLDS last year. Roy pitched a great […]
Last night, Cliff Lee and Shane Victorino had an altercation in the dugout. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal, right? Happens all the time. Nobody had anything to say about it after the game. The problem isn't the argument. The problem is, one of the Phillies' strengths has been their […]
Cole Hamels takes the mound against Edwin Jackson tonight as the last-place Phillies take on the first-place Nationals with a never-before used lineup. Yeah, Erik puts lineups at the end, but he's too busy flipping burgers and spitting in your McCafe shake to write one today. Check this out: Pierre, LF Polanco, 3B Pence, RF […]
