Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies need pitching. Badly. With Vance Worley's injury, the Phillies' pitching staff is about as injured as it was back in 2007, when they blew through an unbelieveable 28 pitchers. Where can you get a veteran pitcher in May when few options exist? Well, Buster Olney of ESPN thinks that Roy […]

(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) It never ends, does it? Cliff Lee has been placed on the DL with a left oblique strain retroactive to Thursday. Lee injured his oblique in the 10th inning. Lee is coming off of a spectacular 10 shut out-inning outing against the Giants. The Phillies ended up losing 1-0 in the 11th […]
