Ibanez will not take the field for Reading tonight
Raul Ibanez, out with a strained groin and eligible to come off the disabled list tomorrow, will err on the side of caution and sit out tonight's game in Reading. No further details were available from the R-Phils' PR staff.
Phillies Vs. Braves, Too Close for Comfort Edition
Remember the days when the Mets were fading, the Marlins had completely imploded, and the Phillies looked like they could be well on their way to cruising to their third straight NL East title? Y'know, like...two, three weeks ago? Well, after apearing to turn things around a little in Toronto, the Phils looked dangerously close to a team in freefall last night--our ace far from...
Mad Dog’s Release Points
Ryan Madson hasn’t been the same since Brad Lidge got injured.
Before Lidge got injured: 27.3 IP, 7 ER, 20 H, 9 BB, 29 K
After: 12.7 IP, 8 ER, 16 H, 7 BB, 11 K
In wanting to analyze Ryan Madson’s release points, there are two roadblocks for me: there is no easily-accessible database where I can [...]
Bad Things
Bad Thing- Jimmy Rollins is hitless in his last 27 at bats. Yes, the same Jimmy Rollins that was the 2007 NL MVP. The same Jimmy Rollins that remains leading off for the defending World Series champions. The same Jimmy Rollins that is batting .205 with a .569 OPS.

Early July Clash of the NL East Titans
And by titans I mean two teams with a combined record of 78-76.The Mets and Phillies have been the two teams atop the NL East for quite a few seasons now. After both teams struggling mightily over the past weeks, not to mention the Phillies being swept at the hand of the Braves, the East is currently a four team race. The Phils are currently TIED with the Marlins at the top of the...
Rollins and Lopez Lead Phillies Over Mets
When Jimmy Rollins goes, this team goes. That is exactly what happened tonight in the Phillies 7-2 victory over the New York Mets.
Rollins led off the game with a double, starting the Phillies offensive explosion off Mets’ starter Livan Hernandez. Rollins scored on Chase Utley’s single and Greg Dobbs doubled giving Rodrigo Lopez an early cushion.
The Phillies couldn’t [...]
Mariotti : Will Leitch Invented Blogging, Bad Journalism
It took AOL Sports’ Jay Mariotti a couple of weeks to weigh in on Jerod Morris’ much-maligned essay on Raul Ibanez’ pre-DL offensive explosion, claiming “Morris made a fool of himself during a panel discussion on ESPN’s Outside The Lines.” That’s not exactly how I remember it, but the former Sun-Times Mascara Fiend would like [...]
Broad Street Buttwipe
I have a riddle for everyone: What's Red and Lanky, and peppered all over........ Cole Hamels. Supposed to be our best arm, Cole Hamels is nothing better than a middle of the rotation pitcher this season.Last year I blogged about Brett Myers and how terrible he had been to start the season. He was subsequently sent down to fix things and came back up to the bigs looking like...
