Geoff Geary, JC Romero, Tom Gordon, and Brett Myers have all become reliable arms in the bullpen. When Charlie Manuel trots to the mound to remove a starter and one of these pitchers comes in, there's not a lot of worry. They get the job done. They've been getting it done often as well. To the point where they pitch better with the more action they see. Over the past ten games (they've logged almost a combine 30 innings); the foursome has gone a combine 4-1 with a 0.92 ERA.

It's a little creepy when Chris Wheeler implores Phillie TV viewers to submit their "sexiest" phans.

"World Champion Philadelphia Phillies."That's what the receptionist says when you call the team, and you can feel the actual genuine happiness as she does it, despite clearly having this as part of her office routine for the past six months. It's also something that still seems a little unreal. I mean, really -- the Phillies? They didn't have an ungodly payroll...

Brett Myers acted as bookends for the Phillies 200 7 season. He started the first game of the year and closed out the final game of the year. To the surprise of many, he'll start the 2008 season off as well. Many assumed that the opening day nod would go to King Cole, but...

Top 5 Goggled Athletes
For the past couple nights Kevin Youkilis has donned a sweet pair of goggles to help cover that nasty swollen eye after being hit with a throw from Mike Lowell. That thing looked more damaged than Brett Myers' girlfriend in the middle of the Boston streets. Let's hope Youk can make a full recovery and beat this swollen eye. If not, at least we can check out some really cool...
Pitching Woes
J.D. Durbin got knocked around again today. He gave up 5 runs on 8 hits in 3 1/3 innings pushing his ERA for the spring to 9.64. Jamie Moyer and Brett Myers are the only starters who have pitched one game, and both of them did not give up any runs in their outings. The [...]
Tom Gordon Has A 135.00 ERA
Well, it was a rainy, crappy day out for Opening Day and the Phils pitching looked quite crappy. Brett Myers had a rough first outing, going 5 innings while giving up 4 runs, and Ryan Madson also gave up 2 runs via a homer in only one inning of work. It wasn’t a pretty [...]

Why wait until the last game of the season when you can do it in the second to last game of the season? Last year the Phillies all made us wait until the last day to wrap up the NL East division but this season the Phillies managed to do themselves one better and clinch the division on the penultimate day of the 2008 season.
The similarities between last season's clinching...

How many times over the years did you say to yourself, "I wish I could choke out Ed Wade." My count was around 15,000. Well, (soon to be former) Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon has lived all our dreams. J Platt says Chacon shouldn't be allowed to pitch in the majors every again. I say, give him the keys to the city!
Ed Wade's not our problem anymore I guess. And...

Astros Build On Bullpen, Sign Paronto
The Astros and reliever Chad Paronto have agreed to a one year deal, worth 500,000 dollars. Paronto, who was 3-1 with a 3.57 ERA in 41 appearances for Atlanta this season, will join new relievers Geoff Geary, Oscar Villareal, Doug Brocail, and new closer Jose Valverde as they try to get back to the p...

The Phillies' inability to hit with runners in scoring position, something that has plagged this team for the better part of Charlie Manuel's tenure as manager, finally caught up with them on Thursday, as the Fightins fell to the Tampa Bay Rays 4-2 in Game 2 of the World Series.
The Phillies are 1-28 with runners in scoring position through two games of the World Series...

King Cole mows down the Braves

Cole Hamels showed Brett Myers how it's done. Hamels pitched his first career shutout to lead the Phillies to a 5-0 win over the Braves. King Cole went 9 innings, gave up only 4 hits and struck out 6 batters in a 120-pitch complete game shutout. He was simply dominant from the beginning, turning aside 15 straight batters at one point. At a time when Phillies fans are questioning...
