Tumbling Down the Rabbit Hole: Marlins Lose 7th Straight
Posted on 17 Jun 2011 by Jon Melton.
california lottery PHILADELPHIA — In the movie “The Matrix”, Morpheus makes a proposition to Neo, giving him a choice between the red pill and the blue pill. If he took the blue pill, Neo's life would return to normal. If he chose the red pill, he would see “how deep the rabbit hole goes.” The blue pill represents blissful ignorance, while the red pill represe...

HOPE SPRINGS INTERNAL
Posted on 16 Jun 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Phillies offense is not unlike an old-fashioned yo-yo, expending kinetic energy unevenly depending on the amount of force applied, gravity, tension, friction and of course, attentiveness. While this offense has overcome injuries, slumps and the constant slings and arrows of an impatient media (ahem), it has in fact also overcome most opponents. Today the score of both games of a doubleheade...

Time to Pay the Piper
Posted on 11 Jun 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Let’s review some facts. 65 games into the season (97 remaining) and the Phillies are 39-26 (best record in baseball). Philadelphia holds a 2-game lead over Atlanta, 6 over Florida and remains the prohibitive favorite to win the National League East. Ergo, if the focus is detracted from trying to beat their divisional rivals, the Phillies brass should start to do what they have done very wel...

Philadelphia Phillies: 4 Prospects the Phils Should Hold onto at the Deadline
Posted on 9 Jun 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The Phillies have been very active at the trade deadline the last couple of seasons. This has many fans speculating that Philadelphia will once again make a big move at the deadline. I'm not as speculative. The Phillies already made their big splash by landing Cliff Lee in the offseason. Due to the signing they are a bit strapped for cash. If a move is made, it will be nothing drastic lik...

Roy Halladay Avoids Stretch of Infamy for the Philadelphia Phillies
Posted on 20 May 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
Before Roy Halladay’s first pitch of the game against Texas on Friday, Chris Wheeler summed it up perfectly; “He’s (Roy Halladay) pitched two straight complete game losses, that’s gotta stop.” The last pitcher to have three straight complete games without a win, Steve Carlton in 1973 The lineup has been in a slump, but the starting pitching has done its job. The Phillies entered ...

Best of April
Posted on 1 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
One month of the baseball season is in the books and while 5+ months remain, we finally have our first glimpse into what 2011 will do to surprise us. Six weeks ago we published a season preview (http://prosportsblogging.com/mlb-baseball/mlb-predictions-standings-2011/) and now we can compare notes on the season’s first month relative to those expectations. Isn’t this just one part of why t...

Posted on 29 Apr 2011 by Brendan Tobin.
Since this weekend’s series over laps with the start of May, it’s time to take a look back at the Marlins opening month and figure out what we know about the Fish and what’s still needs to be answered. What We Know About the Marlins 1. Josh Johnson is the best pitcher in the National League You can have Roy Halladay, Tim Lincecum, Ubaldo Jimenez. They’re all studs but none of them are...

Offensive Crickets
Posted on 20 Apr 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Contrary to popular consensus, this is not panic but it is indicative of what 2011 may hold. Phillies have Four Aces but not even the Fantastic Four can win games without run support. Ask Cole Hamels what it feels like to have to win every game 1-0 (1.4 runs per game avg. in 2010 – closer to 1.1 RPG in second half) . Roy Halladay gave up six runs and 10 hits in 6-2/3 innings vs. Milwauke...

Philadelphia Phillies: Recapping the New York Mets Series
Posted on 7 Apr 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
I'll just ignore the 11-0 shellacking today. Halladay pitched extremely well. I have to show the Mets some love, though. They've been in the doldrums the past couple of years and, who knows, they may end up being in the doldrums once again when the season concludes. But, for the first time in a while, the Mets played with passion. Let's look at game two of the series. In years past, a 7...

The Phillies are currently one of four teams who took all three games in their opening series; Texas, Baltimore and Cincinnati being the others. They outscored Houston 21-11 in the series. Although we can all agree that the Astros are an inferior opponent, there were ...

Amaro, Manuel Re-Up; First Spring Cuts
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Amaro signed through 2013 The good news is that both Ruben Amaro and Charlie Manuel are under contract through 2013. The bad news may be that looming questions regarding Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez, Jimmy Rollins and the Phillies lineup have yet to be answered. Amaro, 46, was in the final year of three-year pact signed after the 2008 season. After serving as an assistant GM to both Ed Wade and Pat...

America: Please Stop Invalidating The Giants’ 2010 Title (And 2011 Chances)
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Joseph Davis.
What is it going to take for the Giants to get a little respect? Another championship, apparently. All over the radio, in the papers, on blogs, TV—you name the forum, there are folks who treat the San Francisco Giants’ championship as an aberration, a fluke, a mistake. They don’t use those words, but they don’t have to. The percentage of people betting on the Giants’ repeating is ...
