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, […]
It's good news for Chase Utley and the Phillies. The second baseman will be headed to Clearwater tomorrow to begin rehab. The Phillies are in need of Utley's bat and this is a good start for the team and Utley. Utley will participate in extended spring training games down there. But what exactly are extended spring […]
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 […]

Are you honestly shocked? Let me preface all of this: Howard and Utley haven't played an inning, Worley, Lee, and Halladay have done DL stints, Thome and Nix are watching baseball and not playing it, Rollins and Qualls have stunk, Victorino and Pence have had their negatives, Joe Blanton is slumping, and they've used about […]
Well last night was pretty crazy. Despite the bad pitching and near-lead blowing outings, the Phillies still managed to rack 10 runs on a season-high 18 hits in their 10-9 win over St. Louis last night. Taking game one of this four-game set doesn't really say a lot, but hey the Phils are back at […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies are back on the losing road. Having lost three straight games, the Phillies will turn to Roy Halladay to break them out of this new skid. The Phillies finally won a game for Halladay after going 0-5 in five straight starts. Tonight they'll look to keep up the run support […]
Coming back from a 4-0 road trip, the Phillies are finally over .500 and are currently riding a five-game winning streak. They'll look to continue that streak as Interleague Play begins tonight. The Phils will host the Red Sox to open a three-game, weekend set. This is the first Interleague series that the Phillies will […]
Happy Mother's day to all you mothers out there! We here at Philliedelphia appreciate all the hard work you've done in your lives. You've made us people who we are today and for that we thank you. This afternoon, Cole Hamels (4-1, 2.45 ERA), fresh off of his suspension, will make his eighth start of […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) There are a lot of things I hate. I hate mayonnaise, snakes, racoons, and horse raddish. But there is nothing I hate more than seeing the Phillies being swept. Now, the Phillies came into this "Take Back the Park" weekend with a .500 record and after the first two games, they sit […]
