Ruben Amaro Jr.
(Posted by Mike Frohwirth) That post title doesn't seem too believable, does it? If there's one topic that pretty much all Phillies fans can agree on, it's Kyle Kendrick's suckitude. Last night, I was in a NE Philly bar, and met a gentlemen who thinks differently. After some conversation, he indicated that he was an […]
Posted by Frank Klose 1992 Topps Stadium Club On Sirius XM's MLB Network Radio, Jim Duquette had Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro on as a guest, and Philadelphia Daily News Phillies Beat Writer Dave Murphy has a partial transcript of the conversation. Amaro was pretty direct, stating any rumors of a trade are "B.S.", and […]
The New York Mets have let former Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. go from his front office position

24 hours remain for teams to sell, buy and trade their players in an effort to either clear house or improve their roster for a play off run. The Phillies are definite sellers this July 31st, but so far have not made a fire sale. Unlike last year when the Phillies traded Hunter Pence and […]
During batting practice before yesterday's ball game, Phillies second baseman Chase Utley felt discomfort in his right ribcage. He was scratched from the lineup and will most likely sit out tonight's game as well. Ruben Amaro Jr. announced today that the injury will require an MRI, which will take place tomorrow in back in Philadelphia. […]
Photo: Erik Seybold's glorious photoshop skills Delmon Young has a lot to work for in order to make all of his incentives. Not only must Young stay out of trouble off the field, but he must also watch what he eats. Looks like no cheesesteaks for Delmon. In a report by Philly.com's Matt Gelb, Delmon Young […]
