The Philadelphia Phillies(73-52, 1st in NL East) had a bit of a surprise and a possible worry when in Pittsburgh this week. They had opportunities to win all three games, and three times late comebacks caused at the least, extra innings if not a loss. Monday and Tuesday the leads were blown by the bullpen, [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies(69-49, 1st in NL East) are coming into this Mets series playing some of their best baseball of the year. The problem is, they don’t need their best baseball this time, as the Mets are completely depleted. The Phillies have won eight of nine games since being swept by the Marlins two weekends [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies(66-49, 1st in NL East) had a good weekend against the Braves and put a slight bit of distance between those two teams now. The Marlins also won two out of three games, so the Marlins still stand 4.5 games back, so the Phillies still have a fire lit under them. This week, [...]

The Atlanta Braves(61-56, 3rd in NL East 6GB) had a rough weekend against the Phillies after climbing back into both the divisional and wildcard races in the National League. They were hurt by Ryan Howard against the Phillies as he produced all four runs last night and hit the eventual winning home run on Friday. [...]
The Philadelphia Phillies(64-48, 1st in NL East) may have finally figured out their troubles since the trade deadline this week. This week, after being swept by the Marlins, the offense may have finally come back to life during a three game set in Chicago. Cliff Lee has been outstanding as he has three wins in [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies(61-48, 1st in NL East) have actually not been very good since they acquired Cliff Lee at the deadline. Cliff Lee is 2-0 and J.A. Happ has one win, but that is all as the Phillies were most recently swept by the Marlins. Some of the bigger news out of Philly was the [...]

The Florida Marlins(58-53, 2nd in NL East 4GB, 3GB in WildCard) reassured their fans that they don’t plan on fading out of this race after a dismal showing in Washington last week.

The Philadelphia Phillies(61-45, 1st in NL East) had a rough weekend as they lost three of four to the Giants, but then rebounded well to take the series from the Rockies.
