Dear Joe B, Roy O, Jose C, Ryan M and Brad L, Please get better soon. We can’t take any more of seeing guys like David Herndon and Andrew Carpenter in games for the Phils. Even Danys Baez isn’t immune from our pleas. Leaving a pitch in Mike Stanton’s wheel house, Baez became the third … Continue reading Stanton’s walk-off foils sweep bid for Phils
Jimmy Rollins is climbing the all-time franchise hits list. His four-hit game moved him into fifth place all-time (1,802 hits) and only 10 shy from tying Del Ennis for fourth.

It was the perfect storm for the Phillies: Kyle Kendrick goes deep, they crush a weak pitcher and some key starters got an early rest for the night cap.
