Raul Ibanez struck a two-run double, kicking off a four-run 12th inning that won it for the Phillies, 10-6, over the Nationals.
It should’ve never gotten to that. With two outs in the ninth, Willie Harris hit a two-run double off Brad Lidge to tie the game. It was Lidge’s second blown save of 2009, and [...]

…and they may very well be alone in that regard.
Carl Bialik of The Wall Street Journal quoted me in a recent article he wrote about Raul Ibanez:
[…] Bill Baer was a skeptic of the signing before the season, and he’s not going to let a month and a half change his mind. “We need to [...]
Notebook: Extra frames force Phils to call Carpenter
Analysis of yesterday's 10-6 win and a look at tomorrow's new starter. Game summary: Philadelphia prevailed in a war of bullpen attrition on a Raul Ibanez bases-loaded, two-run single in the top of the 12th to break a 6-6 tie. It was Ibanez's fourth hit of the night. The Phils had a chance to end it in the ninth, but Brad Lidge blew his his second save of the season on...
Phightin Phils Phorum - 3 In a Row: Good Sign or Bad Opponent?
Things look much better for the Philadelphia Phillies this morning then they did after losing three series in a row. But are things that much better or is it because they are facing an opponent that has only won 11 games all season? I am not downplaying the difficulty of beating any division opponent three games in a row, I am just wondering if the hitting woes are truly behind us...

May 17, 2009
Raul Ibanez had a banner day in Washington, hitting three home runs in two games and helping to give the Phillies wins in both games of a day-night doubleheader.
In game one, he hit two homers and drove in four, while Brett Myers supplied fantastic pitching. He went seven innings, giving up two runs on three [...]

Game chat: Phillies put the sweep in Park's hands
With brooms at the ready, the Phillies send out Chan Ho Park (1-1, 6.00) to complete the job against Jordan Zimmermann (2-1, 5.90) and the Nationals. Lineups are posted. The hometown nine goes like this: Rollins, Utley, Ibanez, Howard, Werth, Victorino, Feliz, Ruiz. ... According to Elias and courtesy of the Phillies press office, Raul Ibanez became the first Phillie since Harry...
BDD: Let Madson Close!
At Baseball Daily Digest, I suggest that the Phillies should put Brad Lidge on the disabled list and let Ryan Madson close games in the meantime.
Counting tonight’s appearance in Washington, Madson has thrown 11 and two-thirds consecutive scoreless innings. In that span, he’s struck out ten, walked four, and allowed just seven hits, only one [...]
Phillies ride Ibanez's bat to another win in Washington
A pair of Raul Ibanez home runs helped give Brett Myers an early lead, allowing him to pitch seven strong, worry-free innings, as the Phillies took Game 1 of their day/night doubleheader 8-5. Who would have guessed that a player who wasn't on the World Series team would carry them for the first two months? Ibanez's 10th career multi-homer game plated four runs on a 3-for...

Phightin Phils Phorum - No O, No D, No Win
That’s a lot of no’s. Where the offense and defense for the Phillies are hiding is a mystery. And one which needs to be solved – quick. This team has sunk into a funk. The real shame of it is that Cole Hamels pitched an outstanding game and has nothing to show for it. Hamels nailed down 7 full innings, giving up only 1 earned run. Another run scored in the 3rd inning...
Ribanez delivers again in rain-shortened victory
Raul Ibanez brought his doubleheader total to three homers and seven RBIs, as the Phils defeated the Nationals 7-5 in five frames. The Phillies also benefited from the lesser of two awful pitching performances, milking 4 1-3 innings of five-run ball from rookie Andrew Carpenter, making his first career start. The Phillies got all seven of their runs off Daniel Cabrera, likely making...
Phillies Look to Get Back on Track in Nation's Capital
If you'll remember, we've celebrated some good fortunes against the Nationals recently, with Jimmy's diving stop, his turn to Chase, and then Chase's throw to Ryan clinching our second straight NL East title on the second-to-last game of the season last year (and saving Brad Lidge from arguably the most precarious tight-rope act of his perfect season). Then there...

When am I allowed to say Brad Lidge sucks? Because Brad Lidge sucks...oops. The 2009 version of Brad Lidge is horrible. I wouldn't trust him with a 5 run lead right now let alone a save situation. He's allowed a run in 5 straight games and has an era of 8.59 while allowing nearly 2 runners on base per inning (1.98 WHIP). He's lost all control of his fastball, which...

Raul Ibanez:Clearly the MVP of the offense. Whether he's batting 3rd, 5th, or 6th he's absolutely tattooing the baseball. Clobbering 3 homeruns in yesterday's double header is just icing on the cake for this guy. Lofty #'s- .368 avg, 1.168 OPS, 33 r, 13 hr, 35 rbi, 4 sb.Clay Condrey:The MVP of the pitching staff in my opinion. Has appeared in 20 of the Phils 35...
