Phillies Pull Record Up To .500 With Win at Wrigley
Posted on 17 May 2012 by Tom Bopp.
The Phillies pulled their record to .500 with a 9-2 win over the Cubs in Wrigley. They got the win behind Kyle Kendrick who last week played the goat in an embarrassing game three loss to the Mets as they swept the Phillies in South Philly. Kendrick turned things around when getting his first start in 2 weeks, going 6 innings giving up 1 earned run and allowing three hits. He even helped his ow...

Phillies Bounce Back After Dismal Mets Sweep
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Tom Bopp.
Philly fans are noted for their venom towards rivals and they have plenty across the spectrum of the four major sports played in the City of Brotherly Love. The Cowboys and Giants are the enemies on the gridiron and foils that have historically prevented the beloved birds from winning a Super Bowl. The Sixers have the Celtics and to a lesser degree the Knicks, while the Flyers have the Penguins...

Philadelphia Phillies: A Winning Streak
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The Cleveland Indians had won a game, and the next day manager Lou Brown was enthusiastic that his club was ready to “turn things around.” “We won a game yesterday, we win one today, that’s two in a row, we win one tomorrow, that’s called a winning streak.” MAJOR LEAGUE II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnVrSZHnvYY For the first time all season, the Philadelphia Phillies have put to...

Power Outage
Posted on 13 May 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Not even in our worst nightmares could any Phillies fan have forseen such a fate. The last place Phillies (16-19) celebrating a series victory over the even-more-last-place San Diego Padres (12-23). If not for the efforts of Cole Hamels (5 hits, one ER in 7 IP) and a 3-2 victory, the Phillies might be trailing the NL East-leading Washington Nationals by more than six games. So, as of ...

Phillies Salvage Split with Cubs
Posted on 1 May 2012 by Tom Bopp.
The Phillies rough spring continues as they manage to split their series with the Cubs at Citizens Bank Park. Vance Worley led the way with another solid performance and Placido Polanco dazzled with his glove and came through with the bat as the Phillies continue to be mediocre against poor competition. Polanco delivered a tie breaking two run double in eighth after totaling just two RBI in his...

Phillies Contine To Struggle Scoring Runs
Posted on 24 Apr 2012 by Tom Bopp.
The Phillies find themselves in a curious position, an identity crisis of sorts. That may be a stretch given their stout starting pitching which could be very easily labeled their identity. However there is no denying that throughout their recent run of dominance they have also had a powerful and intimidating offense to go along with their pitching, something that made them the popular pick in ...

Pitching, Defense and… Not Much Else
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Nobody but nobody gets excited about the standings over the first two weeks of the regular season. Anything before Memorial Day doesn’t seem to have meaning though all 162 games are supposed to count evenly. April is the honeymoon month of the long Major League season as fans are simply happy to get back to the ballpark and enjoy the sights and sounds of meaningful baseball. Weather gets warm...

Philadelphia Phillies: The Phloundering Offense
Posted on 19 Apr 2012 by Adrian Fedkiw.
As the Pittsburgh Penguins kept ripping the back of the net in a 10-3 thrashing of the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night, a question was proposed amongst my colleagues. Can the Philadelphia Phillies score 10 or more runs in a baseball game this season? My initial response was of course, once Ryan Howard and Chase Utley come back. And then the question became, what if they don't return th...

2012 Phillies: Bruised but Better than Ever
Posted on 25 Mar 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
The 2012 Phillies are now a mere one week away from their Citizens Bank Park debut and we’re still not sure who will show up. This team won 102 games in 2011 but bowed out in the NLDS to the eventual champion St. Louis Cardinals – marking the third straight year the Phillies have lost to the eventual champions in postseason (2010 San Francisco Giants NLCS and 2009 New York Yankees World...

Clearwater Chaos or Signs of Spring
Posted on 10 Mar 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Working out the kinks and essentially re-learning the game of baseball seems an archaic concept in these days of 24-hour news cycles, year-round strength training and the modern multi-million dollar athlete. Bygone days of doughy, rough and tumble big leaguers struggling with medicine balls while working out in long johns and borrowed hunting caps may truly be fodder for newsreels but th...

Hope Always Springs Eternal
Posted on 26 Feb 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
It has been 130 seasons – the longest tenure of any franchise in professional sports playing in one city, under one team name. Since 1883 the Philadelphia Phillies have started a season with hope and optimism and in those 130 seasons there have been a grand total of two championships, 7 NL pennants (with World Series losses in 1915, 1950, 1983, 1993 and 2009) as well as having the distinction...

Phillies Spring Training Primer
Posted on 27 Jan 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
You can’t tell the players without a scorecard. Well in the 21st century that might be altered from “scorecard” to “Iphone or Mobile Device App” (there’s an app for that) but you get the idea. Modern MLB Free Agency is an annual frenzied flurry of activity and even the most ardent fans may have difficulty keeping up with the fluid roster of their favorite team. Gone are the days whe...
