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 [...]

The Phillies rode a four run fourth inning against the Astros to take this game and the division, 10-3. Raul Ibanez contributed a two run home run and a total of three RBI and two runs scored as the Phillies had a laugher. Pedro Martinez only went four innings but Kyle Kendrick(3-1) worked three scoreless [...]

Game 1
In the first game of a double dip yesterday, Kyle Kendrick made a spot start for the Phillies and looked great. Kendrick(1-1) went 7.1 innings and only allowed seven hits and two earned runs, both on an Anderson Hernandez two run shot in the eighth. He was supported by a Ben Francisco homer and [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies got back on the winning track last night, even though their closer gave them a scare, yet again. Five solo home runs produced the runs, and they included two Ibanez shots, and one each by Jayson Werth, Carlos Ruiz and Chase Utley. Pedro Martinez(4-0) stayed perfect in a Phillies uniform going 6.2 [...]

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 [...]

The big bat of Ryan Howard provided the firepower for Philadelphia in their soggy 4-2 win over the Atlanta Braves in Philadelphia on Friday, extending the Phillies lead in the N.L. East to eight games. The Braves were hoping to sneak up on the Phillies, sending ace rookie Tommy Hanson to the mound, but Hanson [...]

The Philadelphia Phillies(73-52, 1st in NL East) had a bit of a surprise and a possible worry when in Pittsburgh this week. They had opportunities to win all three games, and three times late comebacks caused at the least, extra innings if not a loss. Monday and Tuesday the leads were blown by the bullpen, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
