The Phillies and Reds conclude their series in less than two hours. In the meantime, a look at Ruben Amaro’s first notable mistake as GM. When Ruben Amaro Jr. assured free agent Chan Ho Park of an opportunity to win a spot in the Phillies’ rotation, he put the team’s credibility at stake.

Phightin Phils Phorum - Lidge Saves A Nail Biter
Brad Lidge allowed 2 base runners with only 1 out in the bottom of the 9th in a 4-3 game tonight; just as Phillies fans everywhere were ready to throw in the towel again, Lidge buckled down and got the next 2 batters out to save the game. Whew! Does he have to make every save a tummy-turner? Oh well, at least he got the job done.
Cole Hamels did his job too; 6 innings pitched...
Phils-Reds Wrap It Up With a Nooner
Aight Joe Blanton. It's your turn to get it together. Pappy Moyer put up a solid enough start last night, although there were a few Tums moments, and the statute of limitations on Ruben Amaro's promise to Chan Ho Park has run out. Blanton hasn't been sharp lately, giving up 4 and 6 ER in his last two starts. Not good enough, Joey... But we have faith. He'll face...
What's HAPPening? Pitching Rotation Thoughts

Chan Ho Park has been moved to the bullpen and JA Happ was promoted to the fifth spot in the pitching rotation.During spring training Park appeared to be the clear winner in the competition for the fifth spot but he has done little to defend the selection once the team headed north. Park's 2.53...
Around the Blogosphere
With the Phillies having an off day today I figured we should take another trip around the Phillies blogosphere and see what the folks are talking about.Beerleaguer has a link to a story about the top ten home runs in Phillies history. Needless to say perhaps is that Matt Stairs' NLCS home run makes the list.The Fightins has video of a pair of Phillies fans using the Nationals...
Game chat: Phillies visit Reds; Happ joins rotation
Cole Hamels (1-2, 5.04) tries to give eight relievers reason to twiddle their thumbs when the Phillies open a three-game set against Johnny Cueto (4-1, 1.93) and the Reds. Meanwhile, the Phils have seen enough of Chan Ho Park in the rotation. They will replace him with J.A. Happ and stick Park in the 'pen, according to two reports. Park returns to the bullpen after pitching to...
Phightin Phils Phorum - Flip Flop: Happ to Rotation, Park to Pen
J.A. Happ will get the nod on Saturday at the new Yankees Stadium. That is because he has been moved to the starting rotation to replace Chan Ho Park. Park was disappointed but all in all had to understand that he did not deserve to be in the rotation.Happ will now be given the chance that many feel he has earned. It will be interesting to see how he does over the long haul at the...
All Smiles As Phils Win Cincy Series
Joe Blanton came out dealing but then got roughed up a bit to give up a five spot in the fifth. He owes his boys a few beers on the plane ride to New York for spotting him six runs. The Phils later blew this one open with Ryan Howard & Raul Ibanez homers. Jimmy's four hit day and Chase's 3 hit day do not go unnoticed. Chan Ho Park was used in his new role out of the pen...
