In the final game of this three-game series against the Marlins, Roy Halladay was able to settle down and dominate against Kevin Slowey and the Fish. The Phillies wouldn't put a run up on the board until the sixth inning when Ryan Howard doubled, and was brought home with an RBI single from Michael Young. […]
The Phillies and Astros squared off this afternoon in sunny Kissimmee, Florida. Cole Hamels took the mound for the Phils against Brad Peacock. In the bottom of the first inning, Hamels gave up a double to Tyler Greene. Greene later scored on a groundout from Chris Carter. After that double, Hamels found a groove and […]
Please. Enough is enough. Ryan Howard is killing the Phillies right now. The Phillies are killing him. Can't we get a break from him? Can't he get a break from himself? The Phillies are playing on all cylinders, not willing to concede anything in hopes hey win a surprise Wild Card birth, which is why […]

Cliff Lee was looking for his fifth win on the season, while the Phillies were looking to gain some ground in the wildcard race. Cliff didn't have a simple first inning.

Herndon, who is 0-1 with a 4.70 ERA in five games this season, could be out for a full year or even more.Herndon is signed through 2012 so if he does indeed go through Tommy John Surgery, […]
It's far from official; in fact, maybe Michael Schwimer purposely was trying to beat the media and a press release: We figured that Jake Diekman was headed to Philly. What about the rest? This would mean beyond Joe Savery headed to AAA two more players have to go. The Hector Luna and Raul Valdez […]
