Phils Lose to Nats on Hangover Day

Pat Gallen — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 03:31:40 +0000

There was a game played today? How dare they. After the champagne was cleaned up (although Matt Gelb of the Inquirer said there was a candle lit in the clubhouse and it still smelled of bubbly and stogies) the Phillies and Nationals got together for game two of a now-meaningless series. The Nats won 2-1 [...]

Philadelphia Phillies (94-63) at Washington Nationals (67-90) Roy Oswalt (13-13, 2.80 ERA) vs. Jason Marquis (2-9, 7.18) Time: 7:05, Nationals Stadium Weather: Cloudy, 68 TV: CSN Follow Phillies Nation on Twitter They call it “The Hangover.” Not the movie, the lineup. No Zach Galifinakis making funnies, but a lineup short the normal starters. Utley and Howard are still in there, with [...]

Another extra inning affair.

Joseph Birmingham — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 05:30:24 +0000

What next for the Phillies ?

Much has been made of Ryan Howard’s performance since his return from the disabled list, and now sources are saying there may still be something wrong with the big man preventing him from playing at 100%.

Last night, the first 6 innings were relatively uneventful as the teams played to a 1-1 draw. The Phillies looked lifeless after being swept by the Astros in a 4 game series that included losses to former Phillies… Finish Reading

Trade more than just a rumour now.

Joseph Birmingham — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:31:01 +0000

It is looking more and more like the Phillies will acquire a new pitcher.

With Victorino, Rollins and Utley on the DL, and Moyer apparently done forever, the Phillies are trying to shore up a roster that looked a lot deeper and stronger at the beginning of the year then it does now.

Roy Oswalt may be the missing piece. Oswalt has not yet waived his no trade clause but appears very unhappy with his standing as the staff ace for… Finish Reading

Are the Phillies on their way down?

Doug — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:25:42 +0000

Well we are almost at the midway point of the baseball season. The All Star game is next week and the Phillies are in third place and six games back. What a shocker! At the beginning of the season there was a real sense of anticipation and excitement. We were all waiting to see how Roy Halladay would perform. Personally I want to see the Phillies and Yankee back to the World Series, and this time we win!

Five keys for Phillies to survive injuries

Eric Schwartz — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 18:09:07 +0000

As reported yesterday, the Phillies will be without Chase Utley and Placido Polanco for at least the next 15 days, and in all likelihood a little longer. The timing of the news is not great as the team had broken out of its hitting slump and looked poised to regain the lead in the NL East. Now with these injuries that becomes a lot more difficult. I still think the Phillies can hang right with the Braves and Mets over the next… Finish Reading

Welcome back Jimmy Rollins

Eric Schwartz — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:02:01 +0000

Through his first 17 innings back with the team Jimmy Rollins hadn’t exactly announced his return. He was hitless in eight at-bats and had made a costly throwing error that helped the Cleveland Indians close in on a victory Wednesday night.

Then with one mighty swing in the bottom of the 9th Rollins reminded the city of Philadelphia just how valuable he is.

Rollins blasted a walk-off two-run home run down the right field line that gave the Phillies an… Finish Reading

Phillies designate Greg Dobbs

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 21:48:46 +0000

The return of Jimmy Rollins meant that someone would have to go. As it turns out that someone is Greg Dobbs.

The Phillies designated Dobbs for assignment, giving them 10 days to either trade, release or place him on waivers. To sum it up: Dobbs’ time in Philadelphia is over.

Bellow is an excerpt from a philly.com story:

Dobbs, who was one of the top pinch-hitters in the National League in 2007 and 2008, was 1-for-25 as a pinch-hitter while… Finish Reading

Phillies offense on a tear

Joseph Birmingham — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:46:29 +0000

The Phillies put an exclamation point on their quick start this season by loading up early and often on the Nationals in their fifth meeting and winning 14-7.

Amid concerns that with the loss of Jimmy Rollins and Jaysen Werth, the team may struggle on offense; the rest of the team turned in another winning performance. Werth made a late performance as a pinch hitter so it seems obvious his absence from the starting lineup will be brief. Rollins calf… Finish Reading
