(Photo: Courtesy of @Michael_LeSage) Chase Utley will officially begin his rehab assignment tomorrow. Utley will DH for the Single-A Clearwater Threshers as they take on the Tampa Yankees. Utley most recently arrived in Clearwater and after a week of extended spring training, he seems ready to be put into real game situations. According to Todd […]
Cliff Lee came into this rubber match hoping to earn his first win of the season. The Orioles had other plans for him and would show this Philadelphia team why they're in first place in the AL East. Baltimore scored first this afternoon with an RBI single from Ronnie Paulino, scoring Adam Jones. The Phillies […]
This is getting painful. The Phillies can't score runs when they need to, and boy did they need to tonight. Kyle Kendrick would get the start tonight against Chris Capuano, hoping to bring the first win of this series. Shane Victorino kicked off the second inning with a solo home run to left field (remind […]
(Philliedelphia/Danielle Wilson) Cliff Lee in June, 2011: 5-0, 0.21 ERA. Lee's month of June last year was quite frankly the greatest month I've ever seen a pitcher have. I'm sure Cliff Lee was tired of losing or getting a no-decision, so he pitched like his dominant self tonight. However, the offense would continue to fail […]
Today Joe Blanton will aim to make right on the mound as he takes on the Miami Marlins. Just a few weeks ago Joe Blanton was pitching as if he were a Cy Young candidate, but in his last three starts he's been back down to Earth and has not been effective. With the series […]
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 […]
Today's a day off for the Phillies but the players are very much on raising money for their charities. The biggest is Hunter Pence's "Let's Go Eat" Food and Fun Fest. The event raises money for Pilabundance and the Make-A-Wish foundation": Join Hunter Pence on the deck of the Moshulu for his inaugural "Let’s […]
Joe Blanton took the hill at Citi Field tonight against Jeremy Hefner, who was making his second major league start. After two straight rough outings from Joe, it wouldn't get easier in another frustrating game. The Phillies jumped out in front scoring a run in the first on a wild pitch. The Mets came back […]
I've got a date with my grandmother today and a slight hangover so here's a quick preview for you guys. 8 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, Loss. That was Roy Halladay's line the last time he faced the Cardinals, in Game 5 of the NLDS last year. Roy pitched a great […]
It's all about Kyle Rodney Kendrick. Kyle pitched an absolute gem of a ball game tonight, shutting out the Cardinals in a complete game effort. By a show of hands, who guessed Kyle would have more wins by May 26th than Cliff Lee? If your hand is up, put it back down, you're a filthy […]
