Phillies NL EAST Champs …AGAIN!
Posted on 28 Sep 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
THIRD NL TEAM WITH FOUR CONSECUTIVE PLAYOFF APPEARANCES WASHINGTON — The Phillies made their mark in National League history Sunday, when they clinched a fourth consecutive playoff appearance (and their fourth consecutive NL East Divisional Title). As veterans the players and fans know this is one step closer to the ultimate goal. Make no mistake, this feeling will never get old in Philad...

CHOOCH FOR MVP
Posted on 22 Sep 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
It was poignant. It was as dramatic a moment as a collision at home plate could be. This was not an All-Star Game, not a World Series clincher, not even a game where a playoff spot was at stake. It was a Friday night game against the Washington Nationals… but it is the epitome of what makes Carlos Ruiz … well… Carlos Ruiz. Not quite a passing of the torch or a gathering of ...

WERTH THE WAIT, PHILS READY FOR PLAYOFFS
Posted on 20 Sep 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Werth HR sealed a walkoff win vs. Washington Perhaps it took most of the regular season (150 games) and doubtless there have been a lot of injuries (17 players on DL) but the Philadelphia Phillies can PHInally be considered the best team in baseball. Their 89 wins place them behind the Yankees (90) and tied with Minnesota and Tampa Bay (89) but this team is PHIring on all cylinders and is clear...

BY THE NUMBERS, PHILS SEASON BETTER ADD UP
Posted on 10 Sep 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
141 games played. 47-28 home. 34-32 road. 81-60 overall. 17 different players on the DL. 20 games with complete starting lineup intact. 112 straight sellouts at CBP. A four game sweep of NL West leading San Diego just a week after a four game sweep at home at the hands of the hapless Houston Astros. One hitting coach (Milt Thompson) dismissed as a scapegoat for offensive problems, replaced by a...

Mets Rubber Game Forces Phils-Giants Wildcard Showdown
Posted on 16 Aug 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
NEW YORK — Before Sunday's game with the Mets, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel looked up at the scoreboard and chuckled. Starting pitcher Kyle Kendrick wasn't surprised, either. It's not exactly a new strategy. Facing Kendrick, the Mets stacked their lineup with left-handers, who entered the game batting .330 this season off the Philadelphia righty. Much like everything else the Mets have...

NO EXCUSES, PHILS SADDLE UP FOR STRETCH RUN
Posted on 9 Aug 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Just this past week, the Phillies just played their first week of baseball without Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Shane Victorino. They went 6-1 on the week, completing a run of 14 wins in 17 games (including a 12 game home winning streak) and with construction of a new high-speed light rail commuter line between Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia. The Philadelphia to Houston spur is still being buil...

PHIGHTIN’ PHILS RELOAD: DEADLINE DEALS & RETURNING STARS
Posted on 31 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
What do Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Joe Blanton, Pedro Martinez, Jamie Moyer and Roy Oswalt all have in common? Well aside from the fact that they have each worn Phillies pinstripes over the past 3 seasons, these are the net results of deals by the Phils front office to spur this amazing playoff run. 2007-2009 seasons have seen the Philies collect 3 NL East titles (2007 was the Phils first NL East...

PHILLIES: TO TRADE OR NOT TO TRADE? BUY OR SELL?
Posted on 21 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
As the Major League Baseball trading deadline approaches, speculation abounds. Every video game player thinks that all trades are possible and that every GM can gauge their potential return on investment instantly through the magic of Playstation. Well, while that may not be true, every GM is burning the proverbial candle at both ends, trying to determine what deals are possible AND whether or ...

Philly One-Ups The Reds… Again!
Posted on 11 Jul 2010 by Dave Allen.
That’s three in a row down to defeat, all in extra innings, and all at Philadelphia. The Reds haven’t had the success in the win column this weekend, but they have shown a continued ability to battle. And they’ve shown it at the home of the defending NL Champions. Truthfully, I don’t think this weekend has been as much of a negative as most fans might think. The Phillies are a pretty go...

Perfect. Absolutely Perfect.
Posted on 30 May 2010 by Bryan Sargent.
In my last article, I wrote that the Phillies needed a player to step up and bring a jolt to the slumping club. Someone answered. Up until Saturday afternoon, there have only been 19 perfect games thrown in the modern era of baseball. Last night against the Florida Marlins, the Phillies’ Roy Halladay made it 20. The Phillies’ huge off-season acquisition proved once again why he was the #1 t...

Dice K Continues his Yo-Yo Season By Flirting With a No-Hitter
Posted on 23 May 2010 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
Daisuke Matsuzaka has been an absolute mystery this year. He had another shaky performance last Monday against the Yankees because of his signature “bad inning.” Last night in Philadelphia, not only did he escape having a bad inning, but he took a no-hitter into the 8th inning and the Red Sox won 5-0. One game he gives up four runs before even recording an out and the next he is pit...

Johan Goes Butcher Boy
Posted on 10 Jun 2009 by Mark Reichman.
How can a starting pitcher still be a hero after he allows four home runs? With defense and a little timely hitting of his own. And an uncharacteristic home run burst from your teammates never hurts. Johan Santana has looked a little off in his last few starts. Fortunately for him tonight wa a night of generous run support from his Met teammates in stark contrast to earlier in the season. ...
