Vance Worley
Image courtesy of Matt Sautter The Phillies were looking for a quality start from Vance Worley tonight to snap out of their five-game losing streak. Impatient at-bats last night led to a 6-2 loss, and a terrible way to kick off the second half of the season. Thankfully, an outburst of offense gave the Phillies […]
The Phillies got their second half off to a bad start with last night's 6-2 loss, bringing them down back 14 games under .500. Cliff Lee took the loss as well, bringing him to 1-6 on the year despite allowing three runs (two earned) on nine hits against the Rockies. Tonight Vance Worley will get the […]

Despite the break being just four days, it's the biggest break between games they've had all year and maybe they can figure something out. The Phillies have already dropped this series to Atlanta after losing the first two games, but […]
The struggles continued tonight for Phillies starting pitching and the team in general. It's getting more and more frustrating to say the least, and it hasn't been a fun ride over the past week with the Phillies losing more and more games. I know I typically write out a game story, but this would have […]
The Phillies started this road trip off in a bad way by being swept in Miami. This week, they'll play a three-game set in New York against the Mets before headed home to host the Braves for a weekend series to close out the first half of the year. Today Vance Worley (4-4, 2.92 ERA) […]
Vance Worley took the hill tonight for the Phillies against lefty Eric Bedard of the Pirates. With the team playing more aggressive than ever this season, the remainder of this series is sure to be entertaining. The Phillies jumped ahead early tonight with an RBI single from the hot-hitting Carlos Ruiz. He plated Hunter Pence […]
The Phils looked strong last night. Jimmy Rollins is smoking hot and Carlos Ruiz is still Carlos Ruizing it. By the way, you should really vote for Chooch for the All-Star Game. Seriously do it. Anyway, the Phils took game one of four by a score of 8-3 last night. Joe Blanton was solid while […]
Just another one of those games on a sweltering June night. As big of a problem as situational hitting is for the Phillies, it seems to be getting worse as the season progresses. Vance Worley isn't a big fan of the heat and humidity, as seen in his dripping-wet pitcher's goggles. Despite the heat, Vance […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies have already won this series after taking the first two games against the Rockies. Tonight they'll aim for the sweep of the Rockies. If they do so, it will be their first sweep of a three-game series this season. Last night, Placido Polanco ended the game in dramatic and unusual fashion. […]
Oh, Canada. The Blue Jays have been very unlucky this past week with the loss of Brandon Morrow due to a left oblique strain, and Kyle Drabek with a torn UCL. Both are on the 15-day DL as of right now, but both injuries are likely substantial. As if losing two starters isn't bad enough, […]
