The Bruins aren't the Sabres and the Flyers learned that the hard way Saturday afternoon, dropping the opening game of the Eastern Conference Semifinals 7-3. Tim Thomas had 31 saves on 34 shots while both David Krejci and Brad Marchand had two-goal games to help the Bruins win. Patrice Bergeron had three assists as Boston […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The man, the myth, the rec-specs sporter himself, Vance Richard Worley, made his 2011 major league debut tonight for the Phillies, and it was a beauty of a game for him. Through six scoreless innings, he allowed just two hits, walking four and striking out five. Vancey pants, eh? In 19 innings pitched […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Joe Blanton has been placed on the disabled list with a right medial impingement of the elbow. Vance Worley (2-2, 2.78 ERA in four starts in Lehigh Valley) has been called up and will start on Friday against the New York Mets in his place. What the hell!? Update 8:52 P.M.: […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the last game of this three-game series in Arizona, the Phillies avoided the sweep by taking an 8-4 win over the Diamondbacks. Unfortunately, they had to do it without Carlos Ruiz who left the game in the first inning due to lower back tightness. Cole Hamels took the mound […]

That lead did not last long. Arizona starting pitcher Daniel Hudson helped his own cause, ripping a two-run double in the second inning off of Oswalt. The D-backs played small ball, […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Closer Jose Contreras joined previous closer Brad Lidge on the Disabled List on Sunday, further depleting the Phillies' bullpen. It's easy to look at Contreras' workload over the past week (four appearances in five days/five appearances in seven days), and conclude that Phillies' Manager Charlie Manuel overworked the veteran reliever, which […]
Posted by Christina Angelos Courtesy of gcobb.com Philadelphia Phillies rookie outfielder Domonic Brown broke his right hand during spring training and had the hook of the hamate bone removed. It was tough news especially after getting his first hit. After a month of waiting around to play baseball, Dom Brown has been playing in extended […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I don't know where to begin with this one. Cliff Lee was dominant, but gave up two home runs. The Phillies' defense was top-notch, but their offense was putrid. I could have sworn that the Diamondbacks had the worst team ERA in baseball, but apparently Ian Kennedy was able to shut down […]
