Impotence. The Philadelphia Phillies in a word, against a pitcher who had an 8+ ERA last night. Now how will they do against someone whose ERA is less than half that?! I'm lazy (and too angry about other crap) and don't feel like looking up numbers, so here is what Kevin Durso had to say […]
Well, it was pretty predictable; Mike Stutes was unavailable for the game where Kyle Kendrick let the bullpen throw six innings and David Herdnon threw 57 pitches. Stutes heads to the disabled list, and righthander Michael Schwimer is recalled from AAA Lehigh Valley. As far as they are as pitchers, I think the results that […]
If you believe what you read, the Phillies haven't had and real negotiations with Cole Hamels and his agent about a long term deal. No progress has been made. Come November, he will be a free agent. He'll get at least a six year offer, and probably at least $130 million on the market, and […]
The Phillies are off to a 7-9 start. To hear some tell it, they might as well be 2-14. They are on the panic button, and want drastic action taken now. I'm not with them. I think a harder road might be a better road than winning 102 games like last year, which incidentally didn't […]
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 […]
Ugly, ugly, ugly. No, not the Mets. The Phillies' offense and pitching. Vance Worley started his second game of the season this evening against Jonathon Niese and the Mets in this three-game series. After last night's loss, the Phillies were looking to turn it around and come back to .500 tonight. Third baseman David Wright […]
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 […]
Incoincidentally, Joe Blanton started his first game of the season on the first Dollar Dog Night at Citizens Bank Park! (That was my first and last fat joke, I promise.) Mark Buehrle got the start for Miami tonight. Joe Blanton was breezing through this Marlins lineup tonight. In his career, he is 6-2 with a […]
