Blogging about the 5x NL East Champion Phillies
It had been 21 games since Kyle Kendrick took the mound as the starting pitcher. The right-hander didn’t look as such, pitching almost Cliff Lee-like in his start. But that Lee guy will be pitching tonight in about two hours. Kendrick led the Phils to a 3-1 victory in the first half of the double-header. … Continue reading Kendrick looks good in spot start

The Phillies were denied their protest from Friday’s loss in Florida, reported Todd Zolecki. Life goes on. What David Hale tweeted, though, has been on mymind since Friday night when Joe West played commissioner and made up his own instant replay rules. “The appeal denial is not surprising. What’ll be interesting is to see how … Continue reading Phils denied their protest
The argument for instant replay just took a slap to the face. Joe West over-stepped his boundaries as an umpire during the Phillies loss over Florida. His controversial out call that would have led to two Phillies runs almost cost them the game, in which they played under protest and lost. David Herndon walked in … Continue reading Phillies lose playing under protest
Cole Hamels was throwing fire in Cincy this past Monday. Though that wasn’t the case tonight against the Marlins, he still looked sharp in the final four innings of his second start coming off a shoulder injury. Unfortunately for the rest of the pitching, their nights didn’t go as well. The Marlins jumped all over … Continue reading Hamels looks sharp after settling in
Tonight became the first time in Phillies history – yea, 129 years, that the Phillies clocked in at 42 games over .500. Thanks to a little more love from John Mayberry Jr, the Phils, the Phillies went on to a 5-3 win over Florida. Mayberry drove in three runs, including a go-ahead two-run homer in … Continue reading Phils push streak to five

Thanks, Irene. The Phillies have canceled today’s game. There is no word on when the game will be made up. The game should have been canceled last night so fans wouldn’t have had to make the unecessary trip or waste gas and money to get to the stadium to not watch a baseball game. That’s … Continue reading Today’s game has been canceled
The ball was leaving the bat extra hard tonight for the Marlins. That was mainly due to the lack of velocity in Roy Oswalt’s fastball. Oswalt mixed in a lot more breaking pitchers this go-around. And when he was using his fastball, none of the batters Oswalt was facing were missing. Instead, they were inducing … Continue reading Oswalt’s fastball lacks zip; gets popped hard
