There’s really not much drama left in the NL East these days now that the Phils have clinched and the Braves have sort of exploded after teasing us for a couple of weeks there with an improbable late run toward the Rockies and the NL Wild Card. Ironically, there is still some juice flowing from [...]

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 [...]

Brad Penny made his first start since coming back to the National League and it looks like he found his problem, the American League. Penny(1-0) pitched great while going eight innings and getting five hits and only walking one while striking out two to hold the heavy hitting Phillies scoreless. He got some offense behind [...]

Cole Hamels pitched his second straight great game, the only difference was this time, he didn’t let the bullpen ruin it for him. Hamels(8-8) went the distance in a 1-0 win versus the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night while only allowing three baserunners on two hits and one walk and using 118 pitches. The [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies(72-50, 1st in NL East) were able to stay hot this weekend as they visited the ailing New York Mets, not such a surprise. They now have a seven game lead over the second place Braves as they travel to interstate rival Pittsburgh for a three game set. There are not many holes [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
