Philadelphia Phillies
Posted by Danielle Wilson Deja vu, Travid Wood vs. Roy Halladay. Remember that matchup from last season? Travis Wood threw eight perfect innings against the Phillies in July last sesason, Carlos Ruiz broke it up in the ninth with a double to deep center field. The Phillies ended up winning that game in the eleventh […]
Posted by Frank Klose Commonly heard at Citizens Bank Park and and Twitter many times this year: "I love Raul, but he is just too old to play anymore". Blah, blah blah. Well, let's compare some stats of a few players and see if we can put this into some perspective. 2011 Player Stats Through […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Vancey pants Worley hasn't allowed more than two earned runs to score in any of his four major league starts. Vance has never faced the Reds before, so I was a bit curious to see how this game would go for him. The answer to my own question: not bad! Vance […]
Posted by Frank Klose I have been away for the last week, and I had a bunch of things I wanted to comment on. Here goes. Philliedelphia/Frank Klose First, a buzz has been generated by Mindy Housenick. In her blog today, a post entited, "Chase…Were You Listening?" seemed to anger many fans when she stated, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Everything about this game was just exciting, even the pre-game stats. Cole Hamels against the Reds including the postseason is 7-0 with a 0.91 ERA in eight starts. The Phillies' lineup tonight also looked rather intimidating; Rollins, Utley, Polanco, Howard, Ibanez, Ruiz, Brown, Mayberry. Beautiful, welcome back Chase Utley. In Chase's […]

I am pretty disappointed that Orr was optioned to the […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy of Exposay.com According to multiple baseball sources including Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Phillies have signed outfielder Scott Podsednik to a minor-league deal. Podsednik is a major league veteran who can play center field. This could prove fruitful for the Phillies, since the Phillies are currently without a major […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies went for the sweep of this three-game series against the Texas Rangers, and their chances looked pretty good with Roy Oswalt starting for them, who has allowed two earned runs or less in five of his six starts this season. The only problem with that is the Phillies' offense, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Interleague play began today in the wonderful world of Major League Baseball, and the Phillies kicked off the schedule with game one of a three-game series against the Texas Rangers (0-3 at CBP) at home. Roy Halladay, who has pitched three complete games in his last four starts took the mound […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson This game…I don't know where to begin with this game. Actually, I do, it started with Joe Blanton being scratched about ten minutes from game time, and Kyle Kendrick would come in to start. Blanton said he felt some soreness in his elbow, which is a bit concerning. Welcome back, Worley? […]
