I never knew why it was called the Hot Stove, and I suppose in the age of Google and Wikipedia, I could easily find the answer to that question. Ultimately, it does not matter so I will simply continue on in blissful ignorance. Sports has become a 24 hour a day, 365 investment. [...]

Last night the Washington Nationals actually got a victory against the Philadelphia Phillies. After being down 2-0 early, they exploded with eight runs from the 3rd to fifth inning with a rookie doing most of the damage.

Pedro Martinez at his age, did something that most probably did not expect, outduel last year’s Cy Young award winner. Pedro Martinez(3-0) worked seven innings while allowing only five hits and one run but struck out nine batters. To be fair, it was against the futile San Francisco lineup, but none the less, Brad Lidge [...]

Last night in Pittsburgh, the Philadelphia bullpen tried to give up another game to the Pirates late in the game. Ryan Madson(5-4) was charged with his fifth blown save as he tried to save Cole Hamels eight inning no run gem, but allowed a pinch hit game tying home run. Ryan Howard got him off [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies guaranteed at the least a series split in New York against the Mets yesterday with a 9-7 victory. A game that started out looking like a laugher, as the Phillies got three run home runs from Jayson Werth and Carlos Ruiz in the first, ended up being much closer. Pedro Martinez started [...]

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 [...]
