Red Sox
Like what appeared to be thousands of others, I made the trip up to Boston for this two game series against the Red Sox. I would say I try to hit about three opposing ballparks a year most seasons, along with a Spring Training trip. One thing was obviously missing this time around: the excitement […]
Phillies fans will be disappointed next week when the Phillies take on the Boston Red Sox. Former Phillies outfielder and current member of the Red Sox Shane Victorino has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained hamstring. The depleted Red Sox are now without third baseman Will Middlebrooks, Victorino, and closer […]
Cody Ross. The one who once pitched an inning against the Phillies as a Marlin and the one who once killed the Phillies in the National League Championship Series back in 2010. Could Ross goe from foe to friend? National Baseball Writer Nick Carfardo of the Boston Globe is reporting that the Phillies and Yankees […]
Well, the Phillies are struggling to find any offense whatsoever, but they essentially released outfielder Scott Podsednik who apparently is good enough for someone else's Major League roster. Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine had some good things to say about Podsednik in a piece on MLB.com: "Well, Arnie gave me a good report on his […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani We knew Roy Oswalt was going to sign soon, and despite reports that Oswalt had been working out for the Phillies, it appears that he may land with the Texas Rangers. The move makes sense for the Rangers, as they just lost Neftali Feliz to the disabled list. There was speculation […]
You MUST check out this Deadspin article. It's every Pat Burrell stereotype from his whole career in Philly all rolled into one, except it's legitimate. Some highlights: Pat Burrell removed his shirt at the bar the night before his first pitch appearance Saturday, with Chase Utley and Jennifer Utley Burrell "made an ass of himself" […]
Scott Podsednik really felt he did everything he could to make the Phillies this year. This Spring Podsednik hit .309 with five doubles, a home run, and five walks. I personally felt he was superior to Juan Pierre in defense, power, speed, and would have been the better choice. But, the Phillies chose Pierre, perhaps […]
The Phillies have won 12 consecutive games at Petco Park in San Diego. Currently, that is the longest active winning streak for any team at any set ball park. Usually Petco Park is some what of a re-boost period for the Phillies. Coming into a four-game series, the Phillies are hoping to pull their heads […]

The 2012 team should be another year of exciting baseball. A lot of teams got better, which should help even the playing field and challenge the usual favorites like the Phillies, Yankees and Red Sox. Before you read the predictions below, I'll say that I am pretty cautious with my hopes for the Phillies this […]
