Saturday, May 31st, 2008Worth a try. Probably won’t hurt and I actually can’t think of that many better ideas.
It was more of the same again last night as the Phils’ surging sluggers put on yet another show. After finding themselves down 3-0 after half an inning, the unfazed offense put up seven in the second and […]
Doubles trouble
Friday, May 30th, 2008Kyle Kendrick hasn’t been fantastic this season, far from it. But he is managing to survive despite the low strikeout rate and the inability to get lefties out. I theorized that the secret to his success had to do with preventing extra-base hits, so I thought I’d look into it.
Through 55 games the […]
Eaton’s feat helps Phillies sweep the rocky Rockies
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Battered by the injury bug, the Colorado Rockies look like they feel just about ready to call it a season. That’s somebody else’s problem, but for a Phillies fan the good news is that the Phils look like they’re just getting started. While the Rockies ran into out after out on the bases, […]
The Brave Little Rockie
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008Ubaldo Jimenez did muster the courage to show up last night, but that’s pretty much where the heartwarming part of the story ended from a Colorado perspective. Jimenez wasn’t through the second inning before he found himself down 7-0. The Phils’ bats cooled a little after that, but seven runs proved to be […]
Seriously, though, if Ubaldo Jimenez even shows up they should at least write a children’s book about his courage or something
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Apparently the only group of people more frustrated than the fans with the Phillies’ back-to-back one-run losses to the Astros this weekend was the Phillies themselves. The Colorado Rockies, or at least what’s left of them, rolled into Philadelphia last night and for the second time in two days the Phils’ offense put on […]
Houston? We have a solution
Sunday, May 25th, 2008After dropping two straight one-run games to the Astros, the Phils made sure it was going to take 16 runs if Houston was going to pull off that particular feat for a third day in a row. The Phillies cruised behind an offensive explosion this afternoon, overcoming Cole Hamels’ worst start of the year.

The Hunter and the hunted
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Last night’s game featured the last two MVPs of the league, a pair of fantastic pitching performances, a guy some people think has a shot to win the triple crown this season and a hill with a flag pole in it in the middle of center field. But Hunter Pence stole the show. […]
