Down by two in the ninth inning, Shane Victorino works a lead-off walk against Florida Marlins closer Matt Lindstrom. With the homer-prone Matt Stairs pinch-hitting, Shane Victorino is not going to stray far from the first base bag. Or so you’d think. Shane, for some reason, attempted to steal second with his team down by two [...]

Filet of Fish with a Hatfield Appetizer: Moyer Goes for #250 Against the Marlins on Dollar Dog Night

The questions have been abound with Jamie Moyer's struggles as of late--namely, about whether it's time to yank the vet from the starting lineup after starting the season 3-4 with a 7.62 ERA, and about whether re-signing the Ageless Wonder to a two-year, $13-million contract was a move based more on sentimentality than expected performance.

Howard Commits First Error, Phillies Win Anyway

It took nearly 395 innings, but Ryan Howard finally committed his first error of the 2009 season in tonight’s game against the Florida Marlins.

Phillies Release Scott Nestor

David Murphy reports the Phillies have released Scott Nestor. The right-hander gave up 10 earned runs in five innings for AAA Lehigh Valley and AA Reading this season. This ironically comes on the same day as the Phils are burned by Wes Helms, who was once rumored in a deal involving Nestor.

Blanton Fans Career High, Lidge Records Save

Redemption & Strength

Redemption:*Joe Blanton with 7 shutout innings, 11 k's, and the win after entering the game with a 7.11 ERA.*Shane Victorino going 4-5 at the plate after being foolishly caught stealing in the 9th of yesterday's loss.*Pedro Feliz upping his batting average to .308, rubbing it my face for thinking he was washed-up as a hitter (another errant preseason prediction).*Brad Lidge...
