Hanley Ramirez
Cliff Lee led the Phillies to a series opening win in Los Angeles to help even up the road trip and get the Phils off on the right foot in their new series. Once again, the Phillies (9-10) have a chance to reach that elusive .500 mark. The Los Angeles Dodgers (12-8) look to bounce back from a tough […]
Will Ozzie Guillen stick around? Time will tell. With a beautiful new ballpark opening, 2012 was supposed to be a different Marlins. No longer designated the "Florida" Marlins and ready to take the City of Miami by storm by renaming the team the "Miami" Marlins and changing their uniforms to Miami's flag's colors. In came […]
It's a busy late Tuesday night. The Phillies' N.L. East rival the Miami Marlins continued their stunning sale of players late Tuesday night when they traded IF Hanley Ramirez and reliever Randy Choate to to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The move means the Marlins have given up on their re-tooled team that was supposed […]
If there is anything I'm afraid of with this team, it's losing Cole Hamels (8-2, 2.81 ERA). Hamels hasbeen my favorite Phillie since he came up from the minors. The thought of him pitching in another uniform makes me cringe and today he'll be taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers. A team who is rumored […]
In the rubber match of this Marlins-Phillies series, big Joe took the mound against big Z, Carlos Zambrano. Blanton was looking to redeem himself from his past couple of starts in which he was lit up. He is 4-5 this year with a 5.05 ERA. Zambrano is 3-3 this year with a 3.00 ERA. Miami […]
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 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 […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) After last night's offensive outbreak in a 7-1 win over the Marlins, the Phillies are looking to take the series tonight as Joe Blanton (0-1, 13.50 ERA) makes his first start of the season. The Phillies skipped over Blanton the first time through the rotation, deciding to go Halladay, Lee, Worley, Hamels, and […]
Well, the first series didn't go exactly as planned for the Phillies, but history tells us that the Phillies generally don't do well against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. So, after going 1-2 to start, the Phillies are hoping for a little home cooking. The new-look Miami Marlins come into town off a deflating defeat. After […]
Posted by Frank Klose Could injuries to Chase Utley and Ryan Howard set the Phillies up for failure? ESPN asked Jim Bowden, former General Manager of the Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals to write a piece entitled, "10 Bold Predictions for 2012". One of those bold predictions: The Philadelphia Phillies will not make the […]
