Great line from CBS Sports' Danny Knobler tonight: Yes, it's true. Chad Qualls has been absolutely horrible. Tonight the Pittsburgh Pirates had a 7-4 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers, and then entered Chad Qualls. Qualls got one out and managed to give up three earned runs, eliminating the Pirates' lead. His ERA is, as […]
Remember how the crazy inning ended? It was a Ryan Howard ground out. I think that home plate umpire Brian Gorman got so tired from the long inning he forgot what was a ball and what was a strike. So, of course Howard had to swing. Here's the MLB.com Gameday from that at bat. Remember: […]
Tyler Cloyd got to bat in tonight's first inning before there was even an out recorded by Mets pitching. Shocked, he must have grabbed a reject helmet off of the batting rack to go up and hit. The helmet, as you can see, as a #3 on it, crooked, off-center, and on the wrong side […]
Miguel Cabrera is having one of the finest offensive seasons in recent Major League history, and is chasing an offensive Triple Crown, which means leading the league in batting average, home runs, and RBI, a feat not accomplished since Carl Yastremski in 1967 and only 15 times in Major League Baseball history. Would it be […]
We learned four days ago that Jason Babin was fined $15,750 for roughing Browns quarterback Brandon Weedon. Now it appears at least one, maybe two other Eagles will be hit with fines, too. Cullen Jenkins was also leveed a $7,875 fine for unnecessary roughness this Sunday. Further, DeSean Jackson may have been hit […]
Phillies second baseman Chase Utley continues taking ground balls at third base and could soon be known as third baseman Chase Utley. Sunday's television broadcast showed Utley taking ground balls at third base in Houston, and Monday, the Inquirer's Matt Gelb wrote that Utley took more ground balls. That the Phillies and Utley are devoting […]
According to the Inquirer's Matt Gelb, the Phillies are "expecting a postponement" for tonight's game. The weather forecast for New York is much like Philadelphia: strong winds, strong thunderstorms, and heavy rain. CBS New York reports: Gelb says that Thursday would be the day the teams play instead. The shame of that is that […]
Please. Enough is enough. Ryan Howard is killing the Phillies right now. The Phillies are killing him. Can't we get a break from him? Can't he get a break from himself? The Phillies are playing on all cylinders, not willing to concede anything in hopes hey win a surprise Wild Card birth, which is why […]
The Astros are so bad that their Saturday game was not even televised in Houston. The Phillies did televise their game, but there were a couple signs from fans more interesting than the games themselves. First, we have this brave kid, who comes courtesy of Buzz Feed: Sign this kid to a contract. He appears […]
It was one rough weekend for the Phillies Phillies in Houston as they failed to capitalize on what seemed to be a big opportunity to advance in the Wild Card race, but there was one bright spot: shortstop Jimmy Rollins. In the fifth inning of the Phillies' 7-6 loss to the Houston Astros Rollins […]
