Posted on 21 Jun 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
The Philadelphia Phillies failed to complete their first sweep of any team this season with their 4-1 loss against a struggling Colorado Rockies team. Despite a strong performance from pitcher Vance Worley, the Phillies offense could not muster up more than a single run for the pitcher, as he falls to 3-4 on the season. The only run produced by the Phillies was a first inning home run to left f...

Interleauge Play Not Treating the Phillies Well
Posted on 13 Jun 2012 by Tom Bopp.
Interleague play has not been kind to the Fightin Phil’s thus far. After losing 6 in a row, 2 to the Marlins and 4 in a row to the Dodgers, they then took a short bus ride down I-95 to Baltimore to play the upstart Orioles who were occupying first place in the A.L. East for what seems like the first time since about 1996. Since then they have dropped to third place with the Yankees surging an...

Papelbon Rips Ump as Phillies Succom to Dodger Rally
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Tom Bopp.
The Phillies had an opportunity to keep their heads above the .500 mark for the season but a late game rally by the Dodgers at the hands of the 50 million dollar reliever Jonathon Papelbon dashed those hopes. Vance Worley made his return from the DL and was shaky in the early going, walking two and surrendering two hits in the first which lead to two runs, one of them driven in by former Philli...

Posted on 4 Jun 2012 by Tom Bopp.
Chase Utley is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment Monday in Clearwater, Florida. He has spent the past months trying to strengthen his chronically sore knees which have limited the star second basemen’s productivity and ability to stay on the field over the past two and a half seasons. As a result of losing Utley and 1st basemen Ryan Howard the Phillies usually potent offense has become ...

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 ...
