Thank you Cole Hamels for shutting down the Nationals last night and most of the teams you have faced this season. You may only have 12 wins to your credit, but your 3.01 era and 1.03 whip suggest that total should be closer to 20.

Thursday: Revisiting the lineup protection debate
Remember when keeping pitchers honest against Ryan Howard was one of the primary concerns of summer? Either fans have short memories, or they’ve written off the issue as a bunch of malarkey. It’s the Beerleaguer way to sweat the small stuff and ignore the big picture, and offensively, it doesn't get any bigger than Ryan Howard, who, as Baseball Prospectus likes to point out...

Simply ask/plead with your favorite all star (David Wright) to sign an autograph for you at stadium, and once he proceeds over to sign your baseball, you'll notice a massive throng...

10 Million Dollars
Ryan Howard was the 2006 MVP. An average of .313, over 50 HR and 149 RBI. Since then all his numbers have done is plummet. Well, his strikeouts have gone way up.
He won his arbitration hearing and is earning 10 million dollars this year. His stats say he isn't earning a dime.

The Mets are in Milwaukee and the Phillies are in Washington, each for a 3 game series. The Brewers are fighting for the NL Central and the NL Wild Card, while the Nationals are fighting not to be the worst team in the NL. Yesterday the Mets won and the Phils lost; now 2 games back. Hoping that the Mets lose is no way to go through September, rather the Phils should make life a lot...

Hamels Calls Contract a "Low Blow"

March 03, 2008
Stop me if you've heard this one before. A player on the Phillies, coming off a solid season, has his contract renewed for way below what he believes he deserves, and he's upset by it. Sounds like Ryan Howard's situation. It's also the situation Cole Hamels has found himself in.
The Phillies renewed Hamels' contract, paying him $500,000 for this season, and...

This was how games with the Nationals are supposed to go. After losing to the Nats yesterday, the Phillies got an outstanding outing from Cole Hamels, who dominated the punchless Nationals. Hamels threw 7 and 1/3rd innings of shut out ball to lead the Phillies to a 4-0 win in Washington. Cole struck out 6 Nationals, but did allow 5 hits and walked 3. Hamels earned his 12th victory...

The Phils lick their wounds before a pivotal series with the Mets. This was a difficult pill to swallow because the offense was finally there. Defeat was set in motion by Joe Blanton, who allowed four runs in four-plus innings, the...

Just one week ago, the Philly sports scene was grim. The Flyers lost ten straight games and their best player for the season, Mike Patterson of the Eagles got busted, the Phillies newly acquired closer got injured, and, while the Sixers were improving, they still were 7 games under .500.

The Phillies continue to roll by beating the teams they are supposed to, like the lowly Atlanta Braves. The Phils completed their third 3 game sweep of the Braves in Atlanta this season, making it 9 victories over the Braves in Atlanta, a record sweep for any visiting team playing the Braves. To say the Phillies own the Braves this season is fair, considering their 13-2 record overall...

Who You Got for NL MVP? A B&C Argument
The National League's Most Valuable Player could be the best all-around player in the game (Albert Pujols), baseball's home run and RBI leader (Ryan Howard) or the man that single-handedly put the Dodgers into the playoffs (Manny Ramirez).
