Jim THome
Posted by Mike Frohwirth The internets have been rife with talk about the Phillies organization's recent decision to "give up on the 2012 season." Many "Phillies fans" seem rather eager to bury the team, and to proceed to dance on their metaphorical graves. But has the Phillies' organization really "given up?" Let's look at the Phillies' […]
The Phillies have already lost this three-game set in Miami and today they will try to salvage a win to prevent a sweep. At 36-44, the Phillies sit 10 games out of first place and are eight games under the .500 mark. Joe Blanton will play the role of the sweep stopper today against the […]
Well, that's it. Ruben Amaro has given up on the Phillies for the 2012 season. In case you did not pick that up by a lack of moves when things went wrong, his trade of Jim Thome to the Baltimore Orioles for nothing that would help this 2012 club shows that it is over. […]
Around the eighth inning of today's ballgame in Miami, rumors began swirling of Jim Thome headed to Baltimore in a trade. Thome was shown in the dugout with a bat in his hands, most likely hoping to have one more at-bat as a Philadelphia Phillie. The future Hall of Famer had an excellent month for […]
After a miserable game one last night in which the Marlins beat up Cliff Lee, the Phillies were looking to gain some ground in the N.L.

We all knew […]
Cole Hamels tossed seven innings of shutout baseball, allowing three hits while walking three and striking out seven against the Rays. Hamels earned the no-decision in the Phillies' 3-2 loss in game one. Antonio Bastardo is the one to blame for the loss, he walked the first two batters he faced and surrendered a three-run […]
What a way to end yesterday's ball game. If there's anybody who can pull off such a clutch moment it's Jim Thome. The Phillies took game one of this three-game set yesterday, 7-6. Even though they've taken game one, they still have work to do. Today is a day-night doubleheader. Game one will start at […]
According to CSNPhilly's Jim Salisbury, Jonathan Papelbon wanted to make up for his blown save that he put some money onto the table. Before Jim Thome batted to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning of Saturday's game against the Rays, Papelbon offered Thome $5,000 if he hit a walk-off home run. Once […]
This series between the Phillies and Rockies is going to show us either of these things: 1. The Phillies are going to be able to beat the Rockies two games to one or even better. 2. The Phillies will lose to the Rockies two games to one or even worse. 3. The Phillies and Rockies […]
