Philadelphia Phillies (24-23) at St Louis Cardinals (25-21)Kyle Kendrick (0-4, 5.23) vs. Jaime Garcia (3-2, 3.55)Time: 7:15, Busch Stadium TV: Fox Weather: Sunny, 94 Media: Twitter and FacebookIn the first two games of this series, the Phillies have looked like a team that is still very much feeling the sting that accompanied an early playoff exit when the Cardinals unexpectedly upset them in last season’s NLDS . The Phils can still taste the bitterness, and they’ve looked determined to wash it away in defeating the Cardinals two games in a row. In a way, the Phils have turned the tables on the Cards in the two victories.

The effort has been a breath of fresh air for a Phillies team that has, at times this season, looked completely incapable of coming back from a deficit or out-slugging an opponent to win a ball g...

It's all about Kyle Rodney Kendrick. Kyle pitched an absolute gem of a ball game tonight, shutting out the Cardinals in a complete game effort. By a show of hands, who guessed Kyle would have more wins by May 26th than Cliff Lee? If your hand is up, put it back down, you're a filthy liar.

Oh Great, it's KK, the Starter

KK the starting pitcher is a completely different animal than KK the reliever.  My partner in crime blogging, Corey, dreads every 5th day when Kyle Kendrick takes the mound, but maybe he should reconsider.  In 6 starts this season, KK has a 3.25 ERA and 1.22 WHIP.  Since rejoining the rotation following Vance Worley's bone-chipped elbow, he has made 3 starts with a 1.22 ERA...

It would have been the first 4 game sweep of the Cardinals in St. Louis in close to 75 years. However, one day after Kyle Kendrick pitched possibly his greatest career outing, Roy Halladay was taken deep by Yadier Molina in the 1st inning of Sunday's 8-3 loss, who launched a two out grand slam. To make matters worse, Halladay left the game after the second complaining of shoulder...
