Phillies Visit Baltimore, Bat Jim Thome Cleanup With Hopes To Snap Out Of Slump

The Phillies will look to erase the recent sweep by the Dodgers tonight and this weekend as they embark on an eight-game Interleague Play road trip. Having lost six straight games to end their depressing home stand, maybe a little Interleague Play for the Phils will be able to fix that – hopefully. Tonight, The […]

Cole Hamels Looking To Prevent Sweep From Dodgers

If there is anything I'm afraid of with this team, it's losing Cole Hamels (8-2, 2.81 ERA). Hamels hasbeen my favorite Phillie since he came up from the minors. The thought of him pitching in another uniform makes me cringe and today he'll be taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers. A team who is rumored […]

Phils Drop Fifth Straight to Dodgers, 6-5

This is getting painful. The Phillies can't score runs when they need to, and boy did they need to tonight. Kyle Kendrick would get the start tonight against Chris Capuano, hoping to bring the first win of this series. Shane Victorino kicked off the second inning with a solo home run to left field (remind […]

Cliff Lee STILL Isn’t a Winner; Phils Drop Fourth Straight, 2-1

(Philliedelphia/Danielle Wilson) Cliff Lee in June, 2011: 5-0, 0.21 ERA.  Lee's month of June last year was quite frankly the greatest month I've ever seen a pitcher have. I'm sure Cliff Lee was tired of losing or getting a no-decision, so he pitched like his dominant self tonight. However, the offense would continue to fail […]

Clayton Kershaw and Company Send Phillies Back to .500; Phils Drop, 4-3

  The Phillies welcomed Los Angeles to Citizens Bank Park with a soggy game one of a four-game series this evening. Vance Worley was limited to 75 pitches in his first start back from the DL with a sore elbow. He will pitch the remainder of the season with a bone chip, but that didn't […]

Vance Worley Makes Return From DL, Takes On Clayton Kershaw & The Dodgers

Vance Worley (3-2, 3.07 ERA) has missed action for the past three weeks and today he'll return to the mound to open up a four-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The best team in the MLB. Worley was sidelined on the DL with elbow tenderness three weeks ago and later discovered that he had […]

Road gets tougher as Phillies face MLB-best Dodgers

Carlos Ruiz and the Phillies open a four-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) This is the last team the Phillies wanted to see. For a team that can't seem to get into a groove or win consistently at home, into town roll baseball's best team so far this season: the Los […]

Victorino, Howard Crush Dodgers, Phils Win 5-3

Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of SportsIllustrated.CNN.com No questions asked, Shane Victorino and Roy Halladay had great games. Surprising, because I thought for sure that this would be another great game for Kuroda, not the Phillies. Kuroda has the most success against the Phillies in the Dodgers starting rotation. His 0.84 ERA is the lowest […]

Kemp and Company Crush Oswalt and Stutes, Defeat Phillies, 6-2

Posted by Danielle Wilson     Courtesy of Matt Slocum/AP Photo Oh, boy. What an interesting game this turned out to be. Roy Oswalt against Rubby De La Rosa, who was making his first major league start. Roy hasn't won a game since April 21 in San Diego, and Rubby has yet to win a game as […]
