« Previous EntriesMoyer goes foyer
Saturday, May 10th, 2008The San Francisco Giants’ offense is hide-your-eyes-Bengie-Molina-hitting-cleanup bad, but it didn’t help Jamie Moyer much today. Coming off a fantastic outing against the Snakes his last time out, Moyer got pounded by the Giants. He could give the Phils just four innings and exited down 6-1.
Tim Lincecum, on the other hand, was dominant. […]

Phils caught in a web of Webb
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Brett Myers has been pitching badly just about all year long, so it’s hard to say that throwing 121 pitches against the Giants on Saturday was a factor in today’s start. It is safe to say that there’s just about zero chance it helped, though.
For the third time in four starts, Myers gave the […]
Conor Jackson may be wishing he’d just gone with drinking too much tequila and getting arrested for peeing on a wall
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Apparently that just wasn’t good enough for him. I sometimes find the elitism of professional athletes to be nearly unbearable.
The Phils got a fantastic win last night with the help of key back-to-back hits from Bruntlett and Utley in the eighth and more great work from the pen. It’s safe to say that […]
Antiques roadshow
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Old pitchers have been the story of the first two games of the Phils’ series with the Diamondbacks. After 45-year-old Jamie Moyer bested young Max Scherzer in the first game of the set, 44-year-old Randy Johnson got the win last night as he outpitched Adam Eaton.
Not that outpitching Eaton was that remarkable […]

Phils struggle to earn runs, but Eugenio struggles to field as Velez other second basemen
Monday, May 5th, 2008Carlos Ruiz picked a nice time for his first home run of the year, it was a good moment in an ugly win for the Phils yesterday afternoon. With one out in the eighth he muscled one out to left to tie the game at 5-5 — it was the only earned run the […]
Cain able
Sunday, May 4th, 2008The Phils got three hits last night and even against the weak-hitting Giants it wasn’t enough. Rudy Seanez, offering a demo of why Manuel wants to pitch guys three and four days in a row rather than use his whole bullpen, allowed a run on four hits in the top of the tenth. […]

Good news for Phillies fans as Howard’s lease on 0-for-4 with two strikeouts appears to have been month-to-month
Friday, May 2nd, 2008The bad news would be if he had decided to sublet to Pat Burrell, but the early results are encouraging.
Ryan Howard had a miserable April, but April is over. Last night after driving in the Phils’ first run with an RBI-double in the third, Howard blasted a mammoth shot out to right in the […]
