Ah, interleague baseball. Some hate it, some love it, and some don't care who the Phillies are playing, as long as they keep this hot streak going. They did just that tonight against the Boston Red Sox with Cole Hamels on the mound for the Phils. Carlos Ruiz would provide multiple RBI's once more in […]
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. After five straight starts without a win, Roy picked up his fourth of the season in the Phillies' fifth consecutive win. Chris Volstad has never been lucky against the […]
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. The Phillies' offense was downright incredible tonight, including a surprising […]
With the Phillies winning last night's game 5-1 behind the arm of Joe Blanton. They will attempt to sweep this two-game series with the Astros behind Cliff Lee. Cliff Lee (0-1, 2.17 ERA) is seeking his first win of the season and what other club to go for it against than the Houston Astros. In […]
Joe Blanton and Lucas Harrell squared off in the first game of this two game series in Philadelphia, the last of this homestand. Rain was in the forecast, and lots of it! The game would become official before the Phillies' offense would back up Blanton with a handful of runs. Up until the fifth inning, […]
Roy Halladay won his first three decisions of the season, his third win coming on April 16. That was also his last win. The Phillies flat-out do not score runs for Doc. Unfortunately, this pattern would continue as Halladay received the loss. Freddy Galvis drove in the first run of this game in the […]
When Roy Halladay has it, he has it. And, oh, did he have it tonight. He was looking for a win after a brutal outing last Wednesday night in Atlanta. He allowed eight earned runs on twelve hits in five and a third innings pitched. Very, very rare for Doc to pitch a bad game. Unfortunately, his […]
My goodness, what a game. 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 […]
Today, the Detroit Tigers released third baseman Brandon Inge after a 12-year tenure together. Inge, who was batting .100 (2-20) with 2 RBI this season, was relieved of his duties at third base this season by Miguel Cabrera after the signing of Prince Fielder. Could the Phillies be interested in Inge's services? Personally, I don't […]

Ryan Howard is about a week away from resuming baseball activities and you could estimate that he'll be back sometime in June. Chase Utley has also been quoted as feeling better right now than at any point last year, as […]
