Roy Halladay Is On The Comeback Trail

Cole Hamels Seeks Run Support As Phillies Take On Surging D-Backs

I was very impressed with the Phillies series in San Francisco these past three days. Taking the first two with runs that backed up great outings from their starting pitchers and even tying yesterday's game in the ninth showed me that the Phillies aren't giving up. Even if Roy Halladay won't be back until late-July, […]

Doc Shelled In Series Finale With Marlins, To Have Tests On Shoulder; DL Likely

I'll be short, sweet and to the point about today's game. ROY HALLADAY AND THE PHILLIES GOT KILLED. Roy Halladay got creamed for the second straight start and the Phillies were unable to mount anything to match the Marlins' 14 runs scored, 9 of which were against Halladay in less than three innings. Kevin Slowey, […]

Roy Halladay Seeks Redemption, Series Win In Sunday Finale With Kevin Slowey, Marlins

(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies went back to the pathetic bunch of tee-ball-skilled hitters last night (no offense to those of you who are parents of a tee-baller). Really? One hit against the Miami Marlins? C'mon, guys what happened to the can of whoop a** you put on them in the first two games? Cole […]
