15 hits, 13 runs…that's what it took for the Phillies to win their 49th game of the season and get a head start on the second half of the season. Although Kyle Kendrick surrendered six earned runs through 5 2/3 innings his offense gave him enough run support to give him his ninth win of […]
The Phillies and White Sox played a total of 24 innings of baseball between yesterday afternoon and early this morning. On a Saturday that provided a twin bill, the Phils and Sox took both games into extras. Chicago took the first in 11, but the Phillies struck back later in game two and won in […]
The Phillies certainly got their work in offensively last night. With 21 hits as a team and scoring 16 runs, the Phillies ended the first half of the season with a blow out win over the Dodgers. John Lannan pitched seven solid innings, allowing just an earned run on five hits to win his first […]
After a long day off following a series win over the Nationals, the Phillies are ready to kick it in to gear again for another 10 straight games. On Wednesday the Phillies failed to sweep the Nationals, but still came away with a series win. Sitting three games under .500 and 7 1/2 games out […]
Cliff Lee has been traded three times already, and the return each time was abysmal. Here we are again with the Phillies struggling along and plenty of media seem to feel that trading Lee one more time is a foregone conclusion. So, it is only natural that local reporters will continue that theme between now […]
After dropping three out of four to Milwaukee this weekend, the Phillies dropped back below .500. Before the series in Milwaukee, the Phillies had won six straight and had earned a +.500 record for the first time all season. Jonathan Pettibone was tagged for four runs and the Phillies were unable to put a dent […]
I've been a 17 game season ticket holder for the Phillies since 1991, so I've seen plenty of bad baseball. There were the Fregosi years that weren't 1993, the Francona years, and even parts of the Bowa years, where you wanted to hit your head off the wall after watching the team. Fregosi did give […]
The Phillies (30-30) are finally at .500 for the first time since April when they were 6-6. Cole Hamels won his second game of the year, his first since April 28th, yesterday after going a month without a win. Hamels went 7 innings and allowed a run on four hits while striking out 11. A […]
So last night was a perfect opportunity for Cole Hamels to win a ball game…but he didn't. For the first time since April 7th he pitched with a lead, thanks to a Domonic Brown three-run shot (his first of two). It was not enough, however, as Hamels was tagged for six earned runs on a […]
The Phillies really, really – for a lack of words – pissed off Cole Hamels last night. After striking out 10 batters and allowing two earned runs to the Marlins through six innings, the Phillies were only able to mount one run – a Domonic Brown home run – to support Cole's effort. It was […]
