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

There’s a giant search going on right now for a precious piece of Philadelphia. It is a piece that has brought much joy to the city’s people the last three seasons. It’s been lost before, but never for this long and to this extreme.

Has anyone seen the Phillies offense?

Philles-Mets overreactions – Take 1

Eric Schwartz — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:06:49 +0000

There’s nothing like the first installment of the Phillies-Mets rivalry to bring out the most uneducated comments from Philadelphia and New York fans alike.

This rivalry, which will have 17 more meetings after tonight always gets folks talking on sports talk radio. It becomes more like comedy radio, actually.

The schedule makers have been nice enough to give each team a day of on Thursday leaving fans two full days to call in to 610 or 950 in Philly and… Finish Reading

Nationals claim old friend Chris Coste

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:00:38 +0000

Our old friend Chris Coste is on the move again — although not outside the NL East. Coste was placed on waivers by the Mets yesterday and quickly scooped up by the Nationals. Hopefully they can find a use for the veteran catcher as he certainly became a fan favorite in his time with the Phillies.

The following is an exert from the Washington Post

The Nationals claimed catcher Chris Coste off of waivers from the New York Mets, a… Finish Reading

Eric Schwartz — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:49:24 +0000

I guess this counts as “We’re the team to beat” Part 4.

Like the Phillies, the Mets opened Spring Training action yesterday and it didn’t take the team long to show off it’s confidence for the upcoming season. Despite a 72-90 year, David Wright believes the Mets are World Series contenders.

The following is an excerpt from a NY Post report:

“We’re expecting to go out there and win the National League East and go deep in the playoffs and win… Finish Reading

Phillies NL East foes in trouble already

Eric Schwartz — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:33:02 +0000

We are still five weeks away from Spring Training and already the New York Mets have a case of the injury blues.

On Wednesday it was reported that Carlos Beltran underwent knee surgery and will be unable to resume baseball activities for 8-12 weeks.

If the timing of the surgery strikes you as odd, it appears the Mets feel the same way. There are varying reports on whether or not the team gave Beltran permission to have the surgery and… Finish Reading
