(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies didn't necessarily start the season off on a good note, but it doesn't really matter because there are 161 games left to play. Cole Hamels was un-Cole-Hamels-like on Monday, getting tagged for five earned runs on seven hits. The Braves took Hamels deep three times in his first Opening Day start […]

It's been a long offseason full of more Eagles dismay and a dramatic lockout-shortened NHL season and I'm ready for baseball. Last year was far […]
We are in the final week of spring training and in one week's time, every game played will matter. The Phillies will be in Atlanta on April 1st, but before they head down south they will stop at Citizens Bank Park for a three-game On-Deck Series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Today John Lannan (1-1, […]
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all! What started out as a disastrous outing for one Roy Halladay turned into an excellent game for the Phillies bullpen against the Baltimore Orioles. In one inning, Doc allowed one hit, walked one, and struck out one before heading into the clubhouse. It was announced shortly after that Doc […]

It has not been helped by local media helping drive the panic bus with polls and chatter. However, most of the worry has been local. Nationally, it was just a pitcher […]

Cliff was hit pretty hard pretty early in last night's affair, allowing five runs (two of which were earned) over 2 2/3 innings. The victim and to sloppy defense as well as a contributor, Lee and the Phillies tallied five […]
Roy Halladay was roughed up pretty bad in yesterday's 10-6 loss to Detroit. Halladay said after the game that his bad performance was not because of any soreness, but because he was feeling lethargic due to a new intense throwing program he has been doing. He topped out at 87 mph, 1 mph slower than […]

Photo courtesy of Jack Kasten Day two of spring training games brought about quite a match-up, Roy Halladay vs. Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers. Doc had no problems in the first inning, dealing through Austin Jackson, Torii Hunter, and Miguel Cabrera perfectly. In the bottom of the second, Doc struck out Prince Fielder to […]
