Wes Helms traded to Marlins

Found April 06, 2008 on All Things Philly Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Wes Helms
TEAMS: Miami Marlins,  Philadelphia Phillies

Helms
Looks like the Phillies will get something for Wes Helms after all. Helms was designated for assignment last Wednesday, and the speculation was that the Phillies would lose him for nothing. After 10 days Helms would have been free to sign with any team, but, according to Todd Zolecki of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Phils managed to trade him to the Marlins for cash. This could be one of Pat Gillick's best moves ever: actually getting something in exchange for Helms. Helms returns to Florida, where he had his best season back in 2006. He will have plenty of opportunities to get his revenge on the team that dumped him, with the Marlins being a division rival of the Phillies. The cash the Phillies got for Helms will hopefully be used down the road to fill holes in their bullpen.

Brad Lidge Activated from DL

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  April 05, 2008
Prior to Saturday afternoon's tilt against the Reds, the Phillies announced they have activated closer Brad Lidge from the disabled list. To make room for Lidge, the Phillies designated Tim Lahey, who they recently claimed from the Cubs, for assignment. Lahey never appeared in any games in his short career with the Phillies, although he could remain with the team and be sent...

Bloody Sunday

I can't believe the news today. Oh, I can't close my eyes, and make it go away. How long, How long must we sing this song? How long? How long? 'Cause today, we can be as one. Today! Broken dreams from getting beat. Losses piled up, can't take more defeat. But they will heed the battle call. It's time to stand up, Time to stand up and take the ball...

Phillies waste Eaton's quality start

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  April 05, 2008
I already regret praising the Phillies bullpen in my previous post. The Phils lost 4-3 to the Reds, with the bullpen and offense squandering an actual quality start by Adam Eaton. Eaton was unable to hold a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 8th, giving up a home run to the mighty Corey Patterson, and Chad Durbin walked two batters and gave up the game winning run on a strange final play...

In Depth Game Analysis

Yesterday WSBGM's had a compound of the minds; Carson & Corey viewed the 8-2 thrashing of the Philadelphia Phillies at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds together. Here is what transpired... 12:00 - Time for baseball, alcohol, and vittles. 12:13 - Jalapeno chips, an Italian sub, and Mexican cervesas are a top-of-the-line lunch menu. 1:00 - Carson is introduced to the...

Tastes Great, Less Filling: Adam Eaton Elicits Memories of Bob Uecker

Via Hugging Harold Reynolds  |  April 05, 2008
With baseball finally in full swing, and as Adam Eaton shows his mid-season form starting the game off today with 5 straight balls, i hear Harry Doyle's voice ringing in my head. "Boy, how can these guys lay off pitches that close?" To get me out of the inevitable funk I'll be in watching him pitch today, I'll likely have to drink several Miller Lites...

Get Your Game Face On

Via We Should Be GM's  |  April 06, 2008
Today WSBGM's will be watching the game the way it's meant to be watched- with friends, beer, and food (I'm heading over to Corey's crib). Game time 1:15 with Brett "the Hitman" Myers toeing the rubber for the Phils against up-and-comer Edison Volquez for the Reds. Myers had a bit of a letdown opening day; after chucking four nice-and-tidy innings he opened...

Chase Utley, Bullpen Shine in Rain-Soaked Win

Via Crashburn Alley  |  April 04, 2008
Yeah, you read that right: the Phillies' bullpen shined in a victory over the Reds! Starter Kyle Kendrick looked pedestrian, but was able to get out of some jams and limit the Reds to four runs. Afterward, the Phillies' bullpen pitched four scoreless innings, allowing only one hit, no walks, and striking out three.
