(Photo: Courtesy of @Michael_LeSage) Chase Utley will officially begin his rehab assignment tomorrow. Utley will DH for the Single-A Clearwater Threshers as they take on the Tampa Yankees. Utley most recently arrived in Clearwater and after a week of extended spring training, he seems ready to be put into real game situations. According to Todd […]
SI.com features a poll conducted with MLB players on who the most "overrated" pitchers in major league baseball are. Four Phillies made the list: Roy Halladay (13th), Cole Hamels (15th), Cliff Lee (11th), and Jonathan Papelbon (fifth). There are a lot of pitchers on the list such as John Lackey, Ubaldo Jimenez, Joba Chamberlain […]
The Phillies finally won a game last night as they bested the Orioles, 9-6 to take game one of this three game set. The bats broke out pushing across nine runs on 12 hits, giving enough cushion room for Joe Blanton to get the win. Today, Vance Worley (3-2, 3.38 ERA) will make his second […]
The Phillies will look to erase the recent sweep by the Dodgers tonight and this weekend as they embark on an eight-game Interleague Play road trip. Having lost six straight games to end their depressing home stand, maybe a little Interleague Play for the Phils will be able to fix that – hopefully. Tonight, The […]
If there is anything I'm afraid of with this team, it's losing Cole Hamels (8-2, 2.81 ERA). Hamels hasbeen my favorite Phillie since he came up from the minors. The thought of him pitching in another uniform makes me cringe and today he'll be taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers. A team who is rumored […]
Jim Thome has been activated from the DL after spending over a month on it with a lower back strain. To make move for Thome on the roster, the Phillies have sent down infielder Pete Orr to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Before being placed on the DL, Thome was hitting .111 (2-18) in 12 games. However, […]
Vance Worley (3-2, 3.07 ERA) has missed action for the past three weeks and today he'll return to the mound to open up a four-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The best team in the MLB. Worley was sidelined on the DL with elbow tenderness three weeks ago and later discovered that he had […]
Today Joe Blanton will aim to make right on the mound as he takes on the Miami Marlins. Just a few weeks ago Joe Blanton was pitching as if he were a Cy Young candidate, but in his last three starts he's been back down to Earth and has not been effective. With the series […]
Jose Contreras is going to the DL and it is retroactive to his appearance in the 7th inning of tonight's game. He is scheduled for an MRI this weekend. Conteras could not even record an out before falling to the ground in pain and agony after throwing a pitch. At first the Phillies reported that […]
I'm feeling lucky today. My high school graduation practice went smoothly, I avoided a car accident on the way home and I won $3 from the lottery. The only thing that blows is that I could be at this game, but I couldn't get off of work. Hopefully most of my luck is with Kyle […]
