  • Again the Phillies home woes continue

    Well the Phillies get swept by the Blue Jays and I swore that they were going to win that game.  I think everyone thought that they were going to pull it off but that was just not the case. Last night they hosted the O’s coming into town.  Lets be honest, the O’s are not…

  • Fightin Phills – not so much at Home.

    This article is going to be very very short because I cannot believe how we can be such a fantastic road team but so horrible at home.  It makes me very bitter.  Phillies have lost back to back games to the Blue Jays while still remaining in first place in their division.  The Blue Jays…

The right fielder saved his team with a diving catch, moments before Chase Utley’s second homer of the game sent Philadelphia to a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets in 11 innings Wednesday night. With a speedy runner on first and…

  • Brad Lidge placed on DL

    As of right now the story is that Brad Lidge is being placed on the 15 day DL due to his knee.  Maybe this is good maybe its not we will never know.  Although a lot of the people out there are saying that he will come back and be amazing we may not know…

  • Phillies lose a close one to the Mets

    Johan Santana was angry. He had just allowed four home runs in a game for only the second time in 221 major league starts, and Mets manager Jerry Manuel was out at the mound to give him the hook in the eighth inning after a season-low 91 pitches. “I’m a man. I’m a man,” Manuel…
