Photo from ChadMoriyama.com - there are two more angles so check it out. Lee vs. Gee: one of the best matchups we get now and then, and not just namewise. The two have matched up before and provided some six-letter pitching matchup excitement. Dillon Gee is 4-3 with a 4.92 ERA. He can be stellar and […]
Wearing one of the better-looking Stars and Stripes collection hats in a long time, the Phillies headed up to Shea Stadium in New York and got back into the winning spirit. Phillies fans must be aware that a Shake Shack is opening in Philadelphia and so therefore had no need to go to Citi […]
Let's face the facts: Phillies fans are bored. They're not just bored: they see the team's approach to the game and are not excited in the absolute least. See the above picture. When in the last five years did Phillies fans think the team had absolutely no chance to come back from down […]
During the 8th inning of last night's game, the Mets catcher Josh Thole took a Ty Wigginton elbow to the head on a play at the plate. Thole held onto the ball and Wigginton was out. More and more ss we have seen with head injuries in sports, they are taken very seriously and have […]
This afternoon, Chicago White Sox righty Philip Humber tossed a perfect game against the Seattle Mariners. The White Sox scored four runs for Humber who did the rest of the work, striking out 9 Mariners through 9 perfect innings. Humber threw just 96 pitches, 67 for strikes. Humber's perfect game is the 21st in MLB history as […]
I get to write a rare recap since everyone's watching hockey or at work. Too bad you probably are too and not reading this. But, the Phillies did play, and avoided a sweep by the Mets. At first, it looked like the Phillies offense was taking the day in addition to the whole team wearing […]
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies have been outscored by the Mets 10-2 through the first two games of this weekend series. The Fightins dropped game one, 5-2 on Friday night and were blanked yesterday afternoon, 5-0. With the Mets taking the first two games, they have already won the series match up, their first series win […]
Well, many people, such as this Deadspin report, and this official MLB tweet seemed to think Jimmy Rollins or Jim Thome tricked Mets catcher Josh Thole into an out on Friday night. Josh Thole, it turns out, told ESPN's Adam Rubin that Jimmy Rollins was simply trying to be helpful and told him to go into second […]
Coming off of yesterday's 5-2 loss to the Mets, the Phillies and Vance Worley will face Mets lefthander Jon Niese. The Phillies scattered 11 hits yesterday, but could only muster one run. Niese (1-0, 4.50), with a fresh new nose courtesy of Carlos Beltran, took a no-hitter into the 7th inning of Sunday's game against […]
"This Dickey's kinda tricky" mused Gary Matthews in the broadcast booth. It was either that, or the Phillies offense just did not show up, in any organized fashion. But, you may have been watching the Flyers' playoff game anyway. Thanks to a Slingbox, a laptop, and extra cable boxes I got to follow both. The […]
