I know, I know. This is a big day in the National League East. The Philadelphia Phillies dismantled the Yankees in Game 1 of the World Series, in the Bronx, against C.C. Sabathia. The same pitcher they dismantled last year when he pitched for the Brewers. It begs the question, is the National League East [...]

Since 1997 only one National League East team has managed to win multiple World Series titles. That team is the Florida Marlins. Despite existing in a league that features the high spending New York Mets, the consistent Atlanta Braves, and the offensive juggernaut known as the Philadelphia Phillies, Florida has managed to remain competitive and [...]

Jayson Werth went four for four at the plate with a walk, three runs scored and three RBI for Philadelphia yesterday on the to a 10-0 victory. Fueled by two four run innings from the offense, J.A.

The Phillies traveled north of the border to Canada to play the final three games of Interleague play against the Blue Jays. Things didn’t get much better for the struggling Phils, as the Blue Jays won again and even did it against the Phillies ace. Cole Hamels(4-4) couldn’t get out of the fifth inning as [...]

The last thing the Phillies want to see right now are the Blue Jays, who swept them a few weeks ago. Even starting a road trip didn’t cure the Phillies woes as they lost two out of three to the Tampa Bay Rays this week. The Philadelphia Phillies(37-33, 1st in NL East) are [...]

Willy Aybar got the start in place of Evan Longoria who sat with an injury and was a pleasant surprise for the Rays. Aybar hit a solo home run and drove in two others in the 6th on route to a 10-4 Tampa Bay win. The Phillies lost their fourth straight series, and now are [...]

The Phillies were unsuccessful in their bid to win consecutive games since playing the Mets 2 weeks ago, as they fell to the Rays 7-1 in Tampa. Former long time Philly Pat “The Bat” Burrell hit a two-run homer in the 2nd that proved to be all the offense Tampa would need and got another [...]

The Phillies got back on track temporarily reliving some World Series magic in Tampa. Helped by home runs by rookie John Mayberry and Chase Utley and innings of 6 and 4 runs, they broke their 6 game losing streak. Phenom David Price(1-2) worked 4.1 very tough innings giving up 7 hits and 10 runs, but [...]
