Nationals

Last night the Phillies were blown out by the Nationals in the opening game and it was brutal. John Lannan was lit up for eight runs in five innings against his former team as he took his 5th loss of the year. Now 11 games under .500, the Phillies' all-time low has gotten even lower […]

After a complete blow out win over the Cubs yesterday afternoon, the Phillies finally showed some life. Although it may be about 20 games too late, the Phillies played some good ball yesterday. Hopefully it will kick start something out of them. Tonight the Phillies will open up a three-game weekend series against the Washington […]

The Phillies are currently 4-2 on this home stand – two from Atlanta and two from Washington. With last night's loss the Phillies fell back to 44-47 and remained 7 1/2 games out of first in the NL East. Cliff Lee was suprisingly hittable last night, allowing four solo home runs (two sets of back-to-backs) […]

The Phillies are coming off of a must-win series victory over the Atlanta Braves this weekend. Despite getting whooped on Saturday, 13-4, the Phillies were able to rout their NL East rivals 7-3 yesterday. Jonathan Pettibone was solid through 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball en route to his fifth win of the year. With […]

With last night's 4-2 win over Washington, the Phillies not only sealed their second straight win, but they pulled within seven games of first place behind the Braves – tying the Nationals. Cliff Lee was superb even after an hour and 14 minute-long rain delay before the game started. Lee made just two mistakes, two […]

Yesterday afternoon the Phils fell 5-2 to the Rockies and lost their second straight game. Jonathan Pettibone was shelled and the Phillies were unable to mount any offense against Jhoulys Chacin. The Phillies are finally back home after a 3-7 road trip in Milwaukee, Minnesota and Colorado. Having won just three of their last 10, the Phillies […]

The first meeting of the season between the Phils and Nats didn't go exactly as planned last night. Kyle Kendrick didn't have his stuff and was all over the place and thanks to a Ben Revere goof, the Nationals gained a lead in the fifth inning and ran away with it, 5-2. Taking the first […]

We will never forget this image.  Brad Lidge falling down to his knees and throwing up his arms in the air.  Carlos Ruiz running up to him for an embrace.  Ryan Howard knocking them over.  The Phillies were World Champions of Baseball. The perfect closer from that season, Brad Lidge, whose 48 for 48 dominance […]

The Phillies were pounded yet again by the Indians in Wednesday's series finale. Cole Hamels was roughed up, allowing five runs on six hits through five innings of work. The Phillies were able to mount four runs, but still fell 10-4. The Phillies fell back to four games under .500 with that loss and with […]
