Phillies Fall 6-3 to the Brew Crew in Twelve Innings

Posted by Danielle Wilson During the first dollar dog night of the season, Joe Blanton (please, no fat jokes) took the bump against Brewers starter Shaun Marcum. There are a couple of guys in the Brew Crew's lineup that are known to really hit against the Phillies, such as Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun, but […]

The Phillies Bullpen Needs a Facelift and Needs it Now

Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy of Philly.com Last night's Phillies game was an all-out disaster.  Even though starter Roy Halladay struggled, he did not pitch so poorly that the Phillies should have had a chance.   Granted, the Phillies should have scored some runs, but only down 4-0 with two outs in the seventh inning, there […]

I am a Joe Blanton Fan

Posted by Mike Frohwirth When the Phillies acquired Joe Blanton in July of 2008, I wasn't exactly enthused. Partially because I probably overrated Josh Outman and Adrian Cardenas, two of the three prospects dealt for Blanton. But mostly because I perceived Blanton to be an "innings-eater who didn't actually eat too many innings", who had […]

Drawing some early conclusions

Posted by Mike Frohwirth The Phillies are off to an excellent start, having swept their first season series. What have we learned from their (very) early season success? Obviously, the 2011 Phillies won't be playing all of their games at home, or against the AAAA-quality Houston Astros. Three games provide a small sample size (SSS); […]

Examining Manuel: 4/5/2011

Posted by Mike Frohwirth Last night's loss was a tough one. Mostly because losing to the Mets ever is just not fun. Of course, we didn't expect to win every game, did we? Even the best teams will lose 60-70 games. There are two questions we should consider, with respect to Charlie Manuel's performance last […]

New Stat Proves Kyle Kendrick Might Not Be Bad at Baseball

(Posted by Mike Frohwirth) That post title doesn't seem too believable, does it? If there's one topic that pretty much all Phillies fans can agree on, it's Kyle Kendrick's suckitude. Last night, I was in a NE Philly bar, and met a gentlemen who thinks differently. After some conversation, he indicated that he was an […]

The Day is Finally Here: Cliff Lee Pitches Again for the Phillies

Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy cbonlineradio.com I still vividly remember Monday, December 13th.   I had just left my job at La Salle University around 4:30 p.m., and was listening to MLB Network Radio as I was driving down Olney Avenue and passing the Broad and Olney Terminal. Right as I passed where the 18 and […]

Phillies’ 2011 Bullpen Picture Geting Clearer?

Posted by Mike Frohwirth Courtesy espn.com October 26th, 2010 was a good day. Though the pain of the NLCS defeat was still only days old, and a potential Cliff Lee Return was still inconceivable, the Phillies made a wise move that day. They declined the $4.5 MM option on reliever J.C. Romero's contract, presumably cutting […]
