Finally, a win for Roy Halladay. Doc pitched a masterpiece tonight at Wrigley and received run support, which is a rarity of late for this team.

Hector Luna Launches Grand Slam in Phillies Debut; Phils Wreck Cubs, 9-2

Kyle Kendrick took the mound in Chicago tonight in place of Vance Worley, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list today with elbow soreness. This might sound like a trainwreck waiting to happen, but Kyle pitched surprisingly well considering he started on short notice.

Carlos Ruiz Drives in Seven Runs in 15-13 Extra-Inning Loss to Braves

We watched as Roy Halladay slowly became human, followed by an unbelievable come back, followed by more mayhem, followed by another come back, and then a not so happy ending.  The Phillies were playing excellent baseball against the sluggish Tommy Hansen. They were really making him work, and were working […]

Tigers Release Brandon Inge; Possible Infield Depth for Phillies?

Today, the Detroit Tigers released third baseman Brandon Inge after a 12-year tenure together.

Personally, I don't […]
