Joe Blanton
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) This is getting old. The Phillies tried to avoid a series split this afternoon in San Diego with Joe Blanton on the mound against reliever-turned-starter Anthony Bass. Some very sluggish defense and poor offense from this team wouldn't help. The Padres would strike first this afternoon thanks to a double from Chase […]
Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani It had been 13 games since the Phillies had lost a game at Petco Park. But as we know, all streaks come to an end sometime. The Padres routed the Phils 5-1 last night, winning their first game at home against the Phillies for the first time since 2008. Roy Halladay wasn't as […]
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….. Phillies lose 4-2. That is all.
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's going to be a long week with these games starting at 10:15 PM ET. I didn't stay up to see Papelbon close out the 9th inning, but I did stay awake for Doc's outing. Doc was fantastic last night in the Phillies 5-2 win over San Francisco. Doc earned his third […]
Incoincidentally, Joe Blanton started his first game of the season on the first Dollar Dog Night at Citizens Bank Park! (That was my first and last fat joke, I promise.) Mark Buehrle got the start for Miami tonight. Joe Blanton was breezing through this Marlins lineup tonight. In his career, he is 6-2 with a […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Cliff Lee was being squeezed tonight, no doubt about that. In his first start of the 2012 season, the Pirates were really testing him by taking tons of pitches, and having the strikezone to their advantage. The only change the Phillies made in their lineup tonight was putting Laynce Nix at first base […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Despite this series being the finale of spring training, it's still an exciting two-game exhibition series because it's being played at home, Citizens Bank Park. The Pirates have come to town for two nights before making their way back to Pittsburgh to take on the Phillies for Opening Day. Joe Blanton […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Even for spring training, these shutouts are getting a bit old. However, Jon Lester looks ready to go for Opening Day for the Sox. Lester struck out 10 Phillies batters in a span of seven innings. He allowed only two hits, and that was a double hit by Freddy Galvis, and […]
Posted by Erik Seybold The Phillies have their rotation for the 2012 regular season set and it's a mighty fine one. Roy Halladay will get the start on Opening Day on April 5th in Pittsburgh, his 10th straight Opening Day start. But that was set it in stone ages ago. While Cliff Lee will get […]
Posted by Stephen Gallo This past Sunday’s season finale of The Walking Dead was tremendous. It had plenty of zombie action, answered a lot of questions and set up what should be an exciting third season. After my second viewing, I noticed some similarities that some of the characters have with our Phils. Roy Halladay […]
