Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Despite what has been considered by virtually all Phillies fans a successful April, the Phils come into the last day of the first full month of the season at 15-12, percentage points behind the 14-11 Mets in the NL East. Andrew Vazzano from The ‘Ropolitans answered a few questions about the state of the […]

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? From a year ago? Um, thou art worse. Less temperate.
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008On the plus side, I do think there’s at least a chance that temperate wasn’t even that high on the list of collective goals.

The Phils couldn’t do anything against Malhom, managing just two hits, a double by Burrell […]

Phils consult village elders for wisdom on how to win when you score three runs
Friday, April 25th, 2008Jamie Moyer and Tom Gordon are old. Really old. Someday soon they’re going to be too old to play or at least too old to help a major league team. It might even be today. I don’t know. But I do know it wasn’t yesterday.
Moyer gave the Phils his second […]
