Amaro’s mound moves ain’t panning out

A great road record (24-9) trumped a poor interleague mark (4-9) as the Phillies used a six-run first and a four-run fourth to pound David Price and snap their six-game losing streak. Nothing like a nice laugher after the misery of last week, made possible by a big, early burst and good pitching. How about that Chase Utley, and how about that big rookie John Mayberry? Both homered...

It had been four days since they sent a player to the disabled list so you knew the Phillies were due. According to ESPN, Clay Condrey will be placed on the DL tomorrow, to be replaced by Sergio Escalona on the roster. Condrey joins fellow bullpen arms Brad Lidge and Scott Eyre, along with Raul Ibanez and of course Brett Myers, on the ever-growing list of injured Phillies. Don...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Philadelphia Phillies closer Brad Lidge is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list on Thursday.

After being swept out of the 2007 playoffs by the Colorado Rockies, the Phillies were determined to not repeat their failures in 2008. After clinching their second straight division title the Phillies dispatched of the hot Milwaukee Brewers and took out Manny Ramirez and the rejuvenated Los Angeles Dodgers. All that was left was a match-up with the Cinderella story from the American...

Phillies slugger Ryan Howard could return to the lineup Tuesday at Tampa Bay after being hospitalized over the weekend with flu symptoms.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Brad Lidge is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list today. Lidge has been out with a sprained right knee since June 7.

I follow the Philadelphia Phillies closely, but I don’t know much about college baseball. But I kinda keep in touch with the Wave- and I have watched a lot of the CWS this year- including all of the entertaining, albeit not exactly crisp, LSU-Texas game last night (Phillies were off).But a little distance might actually help here. Two observations:First: This idea that Tulane is level with these

The newest All-Star totals are out: Ryan Howard is firmly entrenched in second for 1B behind Pujols.  Tough to take down Fat Albert. Chase Utley has 2B in the bag and is only 12,000 behind Pujols for the NL lead. David Wright is going to be the NL 3B, damn him, I was hoping for no Mets starters.  [...]

Marco Scutaro made Jimmy Rollins, Joe Blanton, Chase Utley and basically the rest of the Philadelphia Phillies roster look foolish during the third inning last Thursday. Scutaro drew a walk from Blanton, a routine play that normally sees the play take his base without much in the way of pomp and circumstance. But Scutaro, seeing a Phillies infield that seemed asleep at the wheel...

The defending champion Philadelphia Phillies hope a World Series rematch can get them out of their current funk. The team begins a nine- game road trip tonight with a stop in St. Petersburg, where it battles the Tampa Bay Rays in the opener of a three-game series at Tropicana Field.
