Crickets. Nothing is really going on. After last week’s flurry of activity, it is all quiet on the Free Agent/Trade front. I think it is safe to assume that the Bay/Holliday sweepstakes will not be over until sometime in January. There may be minor free agent signings over the next couple of days, but nothing [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

1st place Phillies. To read more go to out FishGuts
Pitcher Doug Davis’s 2 run double in the 2nd was a sign of [...]
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 Florida Marlins went into the city of brotherly love this weekend and swept the Phillies to pull back within four games of [...]

Cliff Lee (1-0) pitched a four-hitter, carrying a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and even adding two hits with the bat, and the Phillies felt an immediate impact two days after acquiring the left-hander from Cleveland, beating the San Francisco Giants 5-1 on Friday night. He dazzled from the start for the World Series [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies(58-41, 1st in NL East) made a big splash before the trade deadling, obtaining Cliff Lee and Ben Francisco from the Indians prior to the deadline. Both should be meeting up with the team in San Francisco this weekend with Lee expected to debut on either Friday or Saturday night, which will shape [...]

The Phillies started this homestand on July 3rd with a terrible record at home, especially for a 1st place team in July of a season. They changed that with a 9-1 homestand which was capped by a series sweep of the Pirates this weekend. Pedro Feliz hit his 6th home run of the season and [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies(45-38, 1st in NL East) took three out of four from the Reds this week. They decided after playing one game that could have had the mercy rule to play some real baseball though in their other two wins. They were also able to extend their lead in the division with the faltering [...]
