Things are starting to look up, well at least a little more up than average. The Phillies just took 2 out of 3 against the Reds who swept them earlier this year while outscoring our Phillies 16-4, these same Reds were riding a 6 game winning streak when they came into town, and were in control of the wild card spot. A nice follow up to a big series win like that would be to play the Marlins, even though it’s a road series, there would be more people at a Harlem Globetrotters game than there would be at a Marlins home game. You are sending out Hamels and Cliff …

What the Phillies Did, and Didn’t Do This Weekend
This weekend started off well, the Phillies kept rolling after Thursday 7-2 win by beating the Marlins again 4-1 on Friday. Saturday and Sunday however were about as low as you can possibly get; in two games against the Miami Marlins, the same Marlins who traded everyone you ever heard of and has their only good player in Giancarlo Stanton on the disabled list… outscored the Phillies 16-2, and outhit the Phillies 17-5. Let’s go over this depressing weekend.
After Kyle Kendrick‘s solid outing on Thursday, Jonathan Pettibone followed it up with a good showing of his own. Jon Petty through 6.1 innings only allowed 5 base runners and did not allow …
Well That Was Fun, Phillies get Torched 14-2
The Phillies came in looking to end April on a high note, coming in with a 12-14 record, a win and a Nationals (who got killed by the Braves) loss would put them in a tie for second place. The Indians sitting at 10-13 were not interested in ending this month with anything positive for Phillies fans, but were interested in giving everyone in the outfield a souvenir.
I don’t really have many words to describe this game, the scored changed so much and so often that it made me dizzy. Roy Halladay had …
Halladay Dominates, Bullpen Does Not as the Phillies lose 5-3
Let’s start off with the positive, I asked for something positive to write about yesterday… and I got it; sadly there was also some negatives. Roy Halladay was aiming to put together his 3rd solid start in a row, and this was the most solid of the bunch by far… but not solid enough as the bullpen handed the game to the Pirates in the late innings.
Roy Halladay is amazing, everyone said he was done; I had a friend of mine practically give him to me in my fantasy league because he too thought he was done. I …
If You Managed to Stay Awake, the Phillies fell to the Pirates 2-0
Phillies Opening Day starter Cole Hamels came in looking or his first win of the year, and sadly he left this game still searching for it; as for what seems like the 50th time already this season, the Phillies offense was asleep on the job. The Phillies faced the Pittsburgh Pirates and their left-hander Jeff Locke, who was described in the pregame as a pitcher that “does nothing special” which made me confident for a 2nd win in the series; I hate false confidence.
Looking at Locke’s game log however you would see that the Phillies were setup to lose, in …
Phillies take 2 of 4 from the Cardinals, a recap of the weekend
The Phillies bats woke up! Then they fell back asleep, and then they woke up again! Then took a nap, and then they woke up yet again! We got through our last Chooch-less week of the season, and everyone at the game last night are probably still frozen solid (at least I am). It was a crazy weekend both in Philadelphia… and all over really, so crazy that I had no time to even consider recapping any of the weekend’s activities; lucky for you all I will take time to do so now.
Friday I will admit, I did nothing but listen to the Watertown, MA police scanner and follow twitter… even while at work (don’t tell …
Phillies Offense Awakens But Still Fall to Cardinals 4-3
Well the offense has been stagnant to say the least; they had 13 hits in the entire series against the Reds, and were coming in against one of the better pitchers in all of baseball. The kickoff to a 9 game home stand was against Adam Wainwright and the St Louis Cardinals. I will apologize for this recap in advance, I have literally been listening to police scanners and coverage of this insanity in Boston since 6 AM… so this one may be brief.
First and foremost the Phillies offense has be nonexistent, as you should already know by now. More importantly (spoiler alert) the “games …
When it Rains, it Pours, Phillies lose 1-0, and then Lose 11-2
Well, after they scrapped to win the Marlins series you knew things were bad, but what happened in the Reds series was worse than bad. The Phillies in the Reds series went a combined 13 for 83; which equates to a .157 batting average and what is even more alarming is that they walked as a team a total of ZERO times… yes, you, myself, your parents and even your pets all drew as many walks as the Phillies this series.
None of the baseball the Phillies played yesterday was really worth watching or even talking about, so I’ll keep it …
Ben Revere wins catch of the year…and the Phillies lose 4-2
The Phillies are coming off back to back series wins, and were facing Bronson Arroyo and the Reds in Cincinnati Monday night. Arroyo came in with a 2-7 record against the Phillies with an ERA over 6, but the offense struggled to get Cliff Lee any runs and eventually the lack of runs cost the Phillies another game.
It was a beautiful evening at Great American Ball Park, I sadly was not there… however it sounded and looked nice on TV. The temperature was a cool 69 degrees with a few clouds in the sky… A great night for baseball.
Flyers Struggles Continue In Buffalo
The Philadelphia Flyers struggles on offense continued yesterday in 1-0 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The Flyers (17-21-3, 37 pts) have now lost four straight games, matching their season long losing streak that took place over a ten day span in March. The team has now fallen nine points out of the final playoff spot and is an abysmal 5-15-1 on the road. After winning four straight games and reviving their playoff hopes, the Flyers offense has gone missing leading to a complete collapse over the last week.
Since losing to Winnipeg Jets …
