ESPN's Steve Berthiaume reports that there were angry words between Phillies starting pitcher Cliff Lee and outfielder Shane Victorino. Victorino lost a routine fly ball which led to a triple and ultimately a run. By rule, the play is considered a triple if the fielder does not touch it. The Phillies broadcast ultimately talked about […]
Well, the Phillies are struggling to find any offense whatsoever, but they essentially released outfielder Scott Podsednik who apparently is good enough for someone else's Major League roster. Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine had some good things to say about Podsednik in a piece on MLB.com: "Well, Arnie gave me a good report on his […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani We knew Roy Oswalt was going to sign soon, and despite reports that Oswalt had been working out for the Phillies, it appears that he may land with the Texas Rangers. The move makes sense for the Rangers, as they just lost Neftali Feliz to the disabled list. There was speculation […]
Roy Halladay made a rare radio appearance today on Mad Dog Radio this morning on the Evan & Phillips show. On the idea that he could be traded/leave the Phillies at some point: "I want to finish my career in Philadelphia and that's really all I'm focused on at this point…I enjoy my teammates, I […]
This is interesting. The latest power rankings of MLB teams on SI.com lists the Phillies a stunning FIFTH in major league baseball.

The website iPhillyChitChat.com reports that Jimmy Rollins just "ran out of a party in his honor" because his wife Johari just went into labor. Congratulations to the long-time Phillies shortstop! Baseball-wise, I would not mind a few days of Freddy Galvis at short and either Pete Orr or Mike Fontenot at second base.
You MUST check out this Deadspin article. It's every Pat Burrell stereotype from his whole career in Philly all rolled into one, except it's legitimate. Some highlights: Pat Burrell removed his shirt at the bar the night before his first pitch appearance Saturday, with Chase Utley and Jennifer Utley Burrell "made an ass of himself" […]
Bryce Harper's self-imposed bloody eye was not voice enough. Harper had to speak about the Phillies fans and what he would expect when he comes to Citizens Bank Park as the Phillies take on the Nationals starting tomorrow night at 7:05. Rich Hofmann of the Daily News had some quotes from Harper: “Hopefully, I get […]
The diagnosis is in for Vance Worley, on the DL with arm soreness. Worley has bone chips in his throwing arm, reports Matt Gelb of the Inquirer. The bone chips look like this: Okay, maybe not like that. But, the news is somewhat good as this is something people can pitch through, though with some […]
Carlos Ruiz after stealing second base on Friday night. Carlos Ruiz has been the heart and soul of the Phillies' revival over the last week. The Phillies have won now six games in a row and seem to be carrying plenty of momentum going forward. While the Phillies remain in last place, the gap is […]
