The Phillies are coming off of a brutal loss, where a 10-inning performance from Cliff Lee was not enough. The Phillies turn to Vance Worley, who last pitched in a very brutal game himself. Worley gave up four runs in five innings. The Phillies couldn't find a run for him. The Phillies face the […]
Opening Day hero two years in a row? John Mayberry Jr. Current scapegoat for the team's struggles? John Mayberry Jr. I have two strong feelings on the matter: 1) It's early 2) Let him play. The latter is my bigger beef. We all know that the world is ending because both Chase Utley and […]
Well, many people, such as this Deadspin report, and this official MLB tweet seemed to think Jimmy Rollins or Jim Thome tricked Mets catcher Josh Thole into an out on Friday night. Josh Thole, it turns out, told ESPN's Adam Rubin that Jimmy Rollins was simply trying to be helpful and told him to go into second […]
Coming off of yesterday's 5-2 loss to the Mets, the Phillies and Vance Worley will face Mets lefthander Jon Niese. The Phillies scattered 11 hits yesterday, but could only muster one run. Niese (1-0, 4.50), with a fresh new nose courtesy of Carlos Beltran, took a no-hitter into the 7th inning of Sunday's game against […]
Scott Podsednik really felt he did everything he could to make the Phillies this year. This Spring Podsednik hit .309 with five doubles, a home run, and five walks.

But, you may have been watching the Flyers' playoff game anyway. Thanks to a Slingbox, a laptop, and extra cable boxes I got to follow both. The […]
A lot of you are watching the Flyers, sooo… Where's Mike Sweeney?

Phillies were said to have interest back on April 4th, but they have finally sealed the deal today. The 31 year-old Fontenot was released by the San Francisco Giants on March 30, […]
Three years ago to this day, Philadelphia lost the greatest voice in the world; Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas. The voice of the Phillies, the voice of our summers. The voice of Veterans Stadium and Citizens Bank Park. The voice of the 2008 World Series Champions. There is no chance that anyone could ever […]
Well, when Jonathan Papelbon made his Citizens Bank Park debut, he strolled out to "Man in a Box" by Alice in Chains. Good song. Well, his new music may be, um, controversial? In his first save opportunity tonight, Papelbon came out to Marilyn Manson's "Antichrist Superstar" Check out the lyrics: You built me up with […]
