(Photo: Frank Klose/Philliedelphia) If you fell asleep before last night's eighth inning, I feel sorry for you because you missed a helluva comeback. To sum things up, the Phillies got runners on base and they scored those runners. Crazy right? Along with compliments of an Erik Kratz three-run bomb, the Phillies pulled out a split […]
The Nationals are National League Champions, despite the Nationals still playing. The Phillies hold a 2-0 lead going to the bottom of the 9th. The Nationals and their fans broke into celebration going into the bottom of the 9th. But the game was still going on. The Nationals barely seemed like they could concentate […]
Carlos Ruiz simply missed too much time. In a stunning revelation, according to CSN Bay Area, Melky Cabrera has asked that he be eliminated from contention for the National League batting title. Does this mean that all of a sudden Carlos Ruiz has a shot at the title? Unfortunately, no. The magic number of […]
Great line from CBS Sports' Danny Knobler tonight: Yes, it's true. Chad Qualls has been absolutely horrible. Tonight the Pittsburgh Pirates had a 7-4 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers, and then entered Chad Qualls. Qualls got one out and managed to give up three earned runs, eliminating the Pirates' lead. His ERA is, as […]
Monday night proved successful for the Phillies as Cliff Lee and his team earned a solid 3-1 win against the Mets. The Phillies got an early lead and maintained it until the end. Hitting and pitching was on point as Lee struck out ten. He earned his sixth win of the year, while helping his […]

Plus, the Phillies already have infield popups covered with Jimmy Rollins. So where is he going to go? Jim Bowden, the former GM turned radio host […]
We are just eight days away from the Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline and the rumors are flying. However, the current consensus from general managers is that teams are asking for the moon. One of those teams balking at a high price is the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review tweets that Phillies […]
For the third straight year, the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted the top pitching arm in the pre-draft rankings, nabbing Mark Appel at #8 overall in the draft. This makes sense for a team that hasn't had a winning season since Barry Bonds left town in 1992. This is how you rebuild. Too bad Appel didn't sign. […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani In the end it sounds like a good old fashioned benching by the manager. The underperforming Shane Victorino and subject of many trade rumors this season was pulled from the Phillies starting lineup within an hour of game time with no explanation, prompted many to speculate that he had been traded. Some […]
I just wanted to share a few pictures I took at last night's game in Pittsburgh. I gotta say the atmosphere was amazing. The Phillies fans filled PNC Park last night, and the Pirates fans played along nicely. I was sitting near a group of Pittsburgh fans that were starting "Lets go Bucs" chants to […]
