The Phillies are off to a 7-9 start. To hear some tell it, they might as well be 2-14. They are on the panic button, and want drastic action taken now. I'm not with them. I think a harder road might be a better road than winning 102 games like last year, which incidentally didn't […]
Opening Day hero two years in a row? John Mayberry Jr. Current scapegoat for the team's struggles? John Mayberry Jr. I have two strong feelings on the matter: 1) It's early 2) Let him play. The latter is my bigger beef. We all know that the world is ending because both Chase Utley and […]
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies have been outscored by the Mets 10-2 through the first two games of this weekend series. The Fightins dropped game one, 5-2 on Friday night and were blanked yesterday afternoon, 5-0. With the Mets taking the first two games, they have already won the series match up, their first series win […]
Coming off of yesterday's 5-2 loss to the Mets, the Phillies and Vance Worley will face Mets lefthander Jon Niese. The Phillies scattered 11 hits yesterday, but could only muster one run. Niese (1-0, 4.50), with a fresh new nose courtesy of Carlos Beltran, took a no-hitter into the 7th inning of Sunday's game against […]
A lot of you are watching the Flyers, sooo… Where's Mike Sweeney?
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies finally won their first series of the season. Last night, Joe Blanton was spectacular through 7 innings, allowing just 3 hits and one earned run. Blanton was backed by home runs from Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton to beat the Marlins, 3-1 and take the series 2-1. Tonight, the New York Mets […]
Not tonight, Miami. Freddy Galvis and the Phils had other plans. Tonight was all about this Phillies lineup. Charlie Manuel sent out his fifth different lineup, and he finally struck gold. And by gold, I mean runs. With Roy Halladay on the mound against fellow ace Josh Johnson, Doc would reign superior once again with […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Even without All-Stars Chase Utley and Ryan Howard available, the Phillies are still a formidable team, and a playoff contender. Their starting rotation may very well be the best in the National League. Their bullpen is more than serviceable, their defense is above average, and Messrs. Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence are […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Happy Easter, everybody! I hope the Easter Bunny brought you all of the eggs and chocolates you wanted, but what I want from him is a Phillies win. I know it sounds corny, but hey I have to brighten the mood somehow. Anyway, today's game is the first series finale of the […]
Happy Opening Day! The best day of the year for fans of baseball young and old. And what better way to kick off the 2012 season than with multiple pitcher's duels? Not only were the Phillies and Pirates held scoreless through six innings, but the Mets didn't score a run against Tommy Hanson of the […]
