Blogging about the 5x NL East Champion Phillies
This has become a very heated rivalry in baseball despite the two teams playing on opposite sides of the country. It all started last October in Game 3. The two culprits were Chase Utley and Giants pitcher Jonathan Sanchez. Now let’s fast forward tonight. It was the first time the Phils saw Sanchez since Game … Continue reading Tempers flare as Phils rough up Sanchez, Giants
It’s always a tough pill to swallow. Brad Lidge knows it and now Ryan Madson knows it. Juan Uribe took Madson deep with two outs in the eighth inning to make it a 3-2 game. Then San Francisco’s bull pen held the lead to give the Giants their first trip to the Fall Classic since … Continue reading Uribe Leads Giants to World Series
It’s Rally Time! The Phillies are continuing on their come back in the NLCS. Down, 3-2, in the series, the Phillies will have Roy Oswalt on the mound tonight to face San Francisco’s left-hander Jonathan Sanchez. Game time was moved to 7:30 PM and is still on FOX. One game at a time, folks!
And the Phillies are going back home to. With the mantra, “one game at a time,” the Phils took game five and made it a 3-2 NLCS with a huge win Thursday night, 4-2. Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum did battle again. But it was the three-run third inning for the Phils that put Lincecum … Continue reading Stayin’ Alive

The stage was set for another good Cole Hamels outing with no run support. Once again he didn’t receive any run support. But Hamels also had a very rough outing. Hamels was rocked for three runs in the first inning on the way to a 5-2 loss at the hands of the San Francisco Giants. … Continue reading Hamels Struggles Early
It’s the kind of game that won Jimmy Rollins an MVP a few years ago. It’s also the kind of game the Phillies expect from their short stop every time when they put him in the lead-off slot. Rollins fell just a double shy of the cycle as he led the Phillies to an 8-2 … Continue reading Rollins Does It His Way
July was a phenomenal month for the Phillies as they went 20-7. But now comes August and it seems as it the Phillies finally cooled down. Cliff Lee’s amazing debut saved the Phillies from getting swept as they couldn’t figure out the Giants starting pitching, losing three of the four-game series. This was their first … Continue reading A Giant Step Backwards
