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...

Posted on 15 Nov 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
The Phillies have hired Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg to manage their Triple A Lehigh Valley club, the team announced Monday morning. Speculation has swirled for the past week as former Iowa Cubs manager and former Cubs Hall of Fame player Ryne Sandberg was passed over to succeed Lou Pinella as Chicago Cubs manager.

Phightin’ Phils…Phight No More
Posted on 24 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
A baseball season lasts 162 games. April to early October. Add in a month of Spring Training exhibition games, conditioning, drills and the 2010 Phillies season began in mid-February. The Phillies 2010 season and postseason ended on October 23 when they defeated themselves.

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...

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.

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...

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.
