TPI took last weekend off and you have my sincerest apologies. On a rather humorous note, the Red Sox have tried to trade the Lance Armstrong of the Baseball World (Mike Lowell) to the Texas Rangers and would look to replace him with….drumroll….Adrian Beltre. I am not a general manager, though I do manage several [...]

Joe Blanton continues to be a rock in the Phillies rotation, with another good start last night. Blanton(8-6) went eight innings and scattered ten hits and three runs while striking out four in a 12-3 Phils win. Ryan Howard once again had a huge game as he hit a three run home run and also [...]

Cliff Lee has been absolutely outstanding for the Phillies since being traded in late July. Lee(4-0) turned in his fourth straight solid, or in this case terrific outting as he threw a complete game while allowing only two hits and one run while striking out eleven while winning 8-1. His ERA in the National League [...]

Last night in Philadelphia, it was Pedro’s home debut, unfortunately Mother Nature didn’t cooperate. Pedro Martinez got through three innings before a rain delay of just over an hour and he didn’t come back and couldn’t try to get a win, as he left losing. Jamie Moyer(11-9) came in and pitched the final six innings [...]

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, [...]

Tommy Hanson continues to impress for the Braves, as the Bravos rolled to victory in a makeup game versus the Diamondbacks yesterday, 9-4. Hanson(8-2) went six strong innings and allowed only six hits and two runs in earning his eighth win of the season. Hanson also helped himself with a run scoring fielders choice groundout [...]

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 [...]

So at this point, the Phillies have won four games since trading for Cliff Lee, and former Indians have contributed highly to three of them. Last night, Ben Francisco hit a solo shot in the twelth inning off the Cubs’ Kevin Gregg which led to a 4-3 win for the Philadelphia Phillies to break a [...]
