Disappointing End: Carpenter, Cards bounce Phillies from postseason
For the second straight season, the Phillies season came down to Ryan Howard and, for the second straight season, Howard was retired for the final out of the Phillies season.

Ross Gload and his fraying hip is alive!

Mayberry is back
I honestly don’t know what the hell is going on right now. John Mayberry was recalled today while OF/1B Ross Gload was put on paternity leave (thank God not maternity). Congrats to Gload. But seriously, once this is done, go on the DL and spend more time with your wife and baby so the Phillies … Continue reading Mayberry is back

Shane Victorino is back with the Phillies and will bat sixth in today’s line up. But to make room for him, someone had to go.

Bruce’d ego: Madson blows up in 9th
Ryan Madson has the mind of a closer. Too bad he lost the mentality of a middle reliever in the process. Madson loaded the bases and handed the game over to Cincinnati in the 9th inning as the Reds won, 6-3. Raul Ibanez has continued his incredible hot run since snapping is 0-for-35 slump. His … Continue reading Bruce’d ego: Madson blows up in 9th
