Phils activate reliever Eyre off DL

The Phillies finished off their three-game sweep of the Mets on Sunday, with a 2-0 victory. Perhaps it was poor play by the Mets, winners of two of their last ten, that keyed the Phils' sweep. Maybe the Phillies are back to their World Championship form. The truth is, probably, somewhere in between that the WFCs are going to play .800 ball the rest of the way, and win the NL...

Jimmy Rollins did it. Brad Lidge did it. Now, out-of-sorts ace Cole Hamels (4-5, 4.98) hopes to get off the schneid against Johnny Cueto (8-4, 2.69) and the visiting Reds. First pitch is 7:05. Preview: Hamels, who has become this club's forgotten man, will try to build on a trio of quality starts from his rotation-mates in a series sweep over the Mets. The ace left-hander has...

Here is the link for game 2 in the Mets @ Phillies weekend series. Gametime is 4:05 pm eastern. Jamie Moyer takes the bump for the Phils, and will be facing Fernando Nieve for the Mets. You can discuss the game in the comments as well as the foum, so get at it Phils Phans. [...]

PHILADELPHIA -- Jamie Moyer pitched neatly into the seventh inning, Jimmy Rollins hit a two-run double and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 4-1 on Saturday. Moyer (7-6) allowed one run and five hits in 6 1-3 innings to win his...

The Phillies were a paltry 11-15 in the month of June, with just one win at home. They were swept by theToronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles, and Atlanta Braves (although two of those games came in the first two days of July).They won just two series the entire month, one at the beginning in San Diego in which they swept a reeling Padres team and one at the end of the month in Toronto...

After a convincing 7-2 Phillies win last night, the Mets send Fernando Nieve to the hill this afternoon to take on Jamie Moyer. Nieve is sporting an impressive stat line (3-1, 2.25 ERA), and his emergence has helped to stabilize the Mets rotation.  However, he is coming off his worst start of  his young career, and [...]

Chase Utley hit a three-run homer and Shane Victorino and Greg Dobbs each had two-run shots during a 10-run first inning, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 22-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.

My son and I sat so far toward the left-field foul pole that there was no left aisle where we sat -- my seat was up against a fence. The seats were good, though, and gave us a good view of Jamie Moyer's 600th Major League start, the defensively overrated David Wright's misplay of a foul pop-pu and Omir Santos's botching of a routine foul pop-up. You can't give a...

22-1, that was a the score of last night's game in favor of the good guys. The Cincinnati Reds pitching staff was atrocious and their pitching coach as Tom McCarthy put it, "Dick Pole can only scratch his head." T-Mac probably didn't understand the innuendo he was making at the time, but because of that line he earned respect points in my book.Stuph:*Cole Hamels finally pitched...
