If you would have told me in June that these Philadelphia Phillies would cruise to their 4th straight NL East title, have the best record in baseball, and be the overwhelming favorite to win the World Series (seriously), I would have punched you in the throat. Actually, that’s not true. That’s one of those things [...]
I’m not here to talk about the past. The reasons for my blogging absence at this point are irrelevant. I haven’t had a whole lot to say about the Phillies for most of the season, but it’s September now. It’s time for the Phillies to stop playing like a bunch of jerks and start winning [...]
Kyle Kendrick blew up in the 5th inning and though the offense was able to rally back, the bullpen could not hold on to the lead as the Phillies lost to the Diamondbacks 8-6. Kendrick started off well, not allowing a run in his first 4 innings of work, but he gave up 5 runs [...]
The good Jamie Moyer showed up to pitch and the offense awoke from it’s slumber as the Phillies defeated the Atlanta Braves and took 2 of 3 in the series. Moyer threw 6 solid innings and allowed 2 runs (both unearned) to pick up the win. Offensively, Juan Castro led a balanced attack by going [...]
When you’re having trouble scoring runs, it’s a good idea to try to prevent as many as possible. It’s also a good idea to have Roy Halladay on the mound. The Phillies had both of those things going for them tonight and they were able to beat the Braves 2-0 to stop a 3 game [...]

Though I’m certain I’ve had better ideas, the idea I have right now is that I’m going to live blog both games of the Phillies/Marlins doubleheader that is scheduled to begin at 4:00. It’s a fairly important series in that any realistic hopes of the Marlins winning the NL East likely rest on a sweep. [...] Continue Reading

Jamie Moyer tries to win his 10th game of the season for the Phillies against Chicago’s Carlos Zambrano. I can’t imagine a matchup of two more different pitchers. Oh, and the Phillies will also try to win their 11th game in a row. That’s right, 11. Get excited. It’s live blog time. Click the link to [...] Continue Reading

After witnessing the worst two games of the season over the last two days, I decided to try to shake things up with a live blog. Joe Blanton goes for the Phillies, and if he could eat himself about 8 innings or so, that would be great. Click the link to follow along. Click Here Continue Reading

We’ve got an interesting pitching match up tonight, between Antonio Bastardo and Jake Peavy. I have high hopes for Bastardo and high hopes that the Phillies will trade 4 or 5 prospects for Peavy. So I thought it would be fun to live blog what is hopefully the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship [...] Continue Reading

Joe Blanton looked great for 4 innings before giving up 5 runs in the 5th, but the bullpen was able to shut down the Reds the rest of the way and the offense exploded for 12 runs as the Phillies took 2 of 3 in Cincinnati. I live blogged the whole thing, which you can [...] Continue Reading
