I'm so ready for tomorrow night!!! Here's to a great f-ing season! No reason to think we can't do it again. Let's get it going right from the start. God bless the Phillies and god fu*k the Mets!

That image above is that last time we saw the Phillies playing. What will2009 hold for the defending World Champs? Over the last few days, Imade my NL and AL predictions. Today, I will look more in-depth look at the Phillies andmake predictions for each individual player. I'll make predictions forall players on the Opening Day roster, plus J.C. Romero.Click the link for all of...

We are just a few short hours away from the World F'n Champs taking the field! While it's always hard to repeat as champs, tonight's game isn't about what's going to happen this year, it's more about celebrating what they accomplished last season. With that in mind, enjoy the game, and here is the Opening Night lineup, as announced by Todd Zolecki on Twitter...

I'm drunk.I've got the burgers and dogs at the ready.X-tra beers in the basement fridge.Gonna be a long 5 hours.LET'S GO PHILLIES!!!!!!

It's tough to tally a Home Run when the ball doesn't leave the yard.  You've got to get some combination of a lucky bounce, outfielder futility, or wicked speed to get an inside-the-park Home Run. Last night, Jayson Werth had a combination of the three as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the host ...

Every year there is always an off day between the first two games of the season for the Phils....why? It sucks because we lose the opener EVERY year (8 of last 9) and then have to wait an extra day to go out and try for that first victory. Just wondering if anyone knows why that is?

On his first pitch of the first bullpen session during spring training Brad Lidge re-injures his surgically repaired knee...silence. That silence was brought to you by the Philadelphia Phillies fanbase as they collectively held their breath in hopes that Lidge's injury was nothing serious. Exhale- ...

I guess Joe Buck wasn't available to crap all over the Phillies during the opening day broadcast so ESPN went out and got former Mets GM Steve Phillips to call the game with perenial a**-clown Joe Morgan.

So what if the Phillies lost their first game this season, 4-1 to the Braves?Who cares that Brett Myers gave up three homers to the first 8 batters he faced?So what if the Phillies looked feeble at the plate as they managed onlytwo hits off Derek Lowe in 8 innings? And, so what if they were neverreally in the game until Lowe was pulled and the Braves turned to theircloser, Mike Gonzalez...

The Brewers continue their homestand with their first meeting with the ‘07 NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies for two games on Wednesday and Thursday at Miller Park. Pitching Probables: Wednesday, 4/23, 7:05 p.m. CT: LHP Cole Hamels (2-2, 1.86) vs. RHP Dave Bush (0-3, 7.02) Thursday, 4/24, ...

Opening Day

Randy Miller, of Phillyburbs.com, reports Philadelphia Phillies CL Brad Lidge (knee) said he expects to be ready for opening day.

As expected, the Phillies have finalized their Opening Day roster by purchasing the contract of Miguel Cairo. Cairo will be a useful utility player and will be used as a right handed pinch hitter from time to time. While Cairo isn't all that exciting, he's exactly what you want out of the 25th player on the roster: he can play multiple positions and he won...

Pat Burrell had his fair share of ups and downs in his eight years with the Phillies, and heard his fair share of boos. But he heard nothing but adulation Friday night as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays.

The reigning World Champion Philadelphia Phillies put the final touches on their roster after game today. They purchased the contract of Miguel Cairo, put J.C. Romero on the restricted list, and put
