Roy Halladay
Watching the early blowup and early departure of Phillies ace Roy Halladay evoked a haunting memory from 2007. In fact, the stats are eerily similar to June 9, 2007. Although he only got five outs, the starting pitcher for the Phillies that day gave up six earned runs, and Charlie Manuel went out to […]
The Phillies have put themselves into a position in the second wildcard race where a series like this is a must-win. In fact, the next 11 games are all must-wins. They hoped Roy Halladay could help them continue their winning streak, but it wouldn't be that simple. In the top of the first inning, Jason […]
The Phillies continued their offensive outbreak in last night's series opener against Atlanta. Four Phillies homered last night to push to a 6-2 win. With last night's win, the Phillies three games behind in the Cardinals for the second Wild Card spot. Kyle Kendrick was yet again spectacular, earning his tenth win of the season. […]
This was a must-win for the Phillies, no doubt about that. Being three games back in the second wild card spot with 16 left to play, the Phils had to beat the last-place, worst in MLB Astros. Luckily, the Phils backed up Roy Halladay with some early offense. In the top of the first inning, […]
Last night, the Phils dropped their first game in over a week, snapping a seven-game win streak, and propelling them back four games in the Wild Card race. In the early goings, it looked like the Phillies victory: a four-run lead against a pathetically weak offense in the Astros. Nope. The Astros would slowly come […]
Let's face it. The Phillies are red hot. With yesterday's win the Phillies inched closer to the Wild Card. Cliff Lee fell behind in the sixth, but Jimmy Rollins and his red-hot bat brought the Phils back and helped them overcome the Marlins. After a six-game homestand sweep against the Rockies and Marlins, the Phillies […]
The Phillies are playing some exciting baseball right now, no doubt about that. Winning the wild card isn't too out of the question, but the Phillies are making it look more and more likely with the way they've been hitting the ball. The Phils scored first tonight in the first inning. With the bases loaded, […]
The Phillies really have a shot. It is not even a matter of "giving up" on this season anymore. The Fightins sit just one game under .500 (70-71) and sit just five games back in the NL Wild Card race with 21 games left to be played in the 2012 campaign. Kyle Kendrick was spectacular […]
Following last night's doubleheader sweep, the Phillies sit just six games behind in the NL Wild Card race. Entering tonight's game, they are tied with the Brewers in the standings, both sporting 69-71 records. If the Phillies can get a jump on the Marlins tonight, they could be as far as 5 games out of […]
The Phillies are coming off of a six-game road trip in which they took both series two to one. First, the Phillies took the first two of three against the Braves over the weekend. Eying up a sweep, a disaster ensued and the Phillies moved on to Cincinnati for a three-game set with the NL […]
