Hunter Pence
Vance Worley took the hill tonight for the Phillies against lefty Eric Bedard of the Pirates. With the team playing more aggressive than ever this season, the remainder of this series is sure to be entertaining. The Phillies jumped ahead early tonight with an RBI single from the hot-hitting Carlos Ruiz. He plated Hunter Pence […]
After dropping both games of a day-night double-header yesterday, the Phillies were looking to shake off the rust and start off a four-game series with the Pirates on the right foot. Joe Blanton was looking for his seventh win on the season tonight, and would do so against Jeff Karstens. Runs would be surprisingly […]
Chase Utley went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and played eigth innings in the field in last night's rehab start with Clearwater. He can return to the Phillies no later than July 2. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) There was more than one situation last night when the Phillies could have used Chase Utley's bat at the […]
Joe Blanton took the hill tonight against the Rockies, looking to take this series from them and earn his seventh win on the season. It would be a wild ballgame tonight, especially the ending. The Phils scored first this evening in the first inning. Hunter Pence grounded out to score Juan Pierre from third. Wilin […]
David Herndon had Tommy John Surgery this afternoon. Freddy Galvis was suspended 50 games after testing positive for PED's. Laynce Nix suffered a set-back thanks to a strained left calf today.

It's great to see the Phillies having some fun, and they did so while supporting the Shane Victorino Foundation which donates to the Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia.

Oh, Canada. The Blue Jays have been very unlucky this past week with the loss of Brandon Morrow due to a left oblique strain, and Kyle Drabek with a torn UCL. Both are on the 15-day DL as of right now, but both injuries are likely substantial. As if losing two starters isn't bad enough, […]
Well, this wasn't much of a step-up from last night to say the least. In what was one of the most painful games to watch, the Twins crushed the Phils' bullpen last night, taking game one 11-7. The Phillies were looking to even the series tonight with Cole Hamels on the mound and Placido Polanco […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose In case you weren't sure enough that this group of Phillies is on the verge of total "sucks" status, last night they lost an 11-7 decision to the Twins in Minnesota. It was quite typical of the season. The offense showed up and put up a good game, but the starting pitching, […]
The Phillies were simply looking to have fun coming into this series against the Minnesota Twins. As assumed by the fans, the entire Phils lineup sported high socks tonight in honor of Jim Thome. Whether that's true or not, it's certainly different. Also, a majority of the team wore Hunter Pence's t-shirts that read […]
