Lee Helped by Rollins, Brown in Phillies Win

Via Phillies Nation  |  September 17, 2012
Earlier today on our Phillies Nation twitter account (@PhilliesNation), I posted this: Well, it happened. Cliff Lee was awesome tonight, fanning 10 Mets in eight innings as the Phillies held on for a 3-1 victory. Jimmy Rollins and Domonic Brown supplied the offense, both going yard to right field; Rollins in the fifth inning, Brown in the seventh, both off starter and Cy Young candidate...

The Howard- a strikeout, error, and homerun all wrapped up in a nifty lil' package by one player in the same game.And for some uncanny reason, the Phillies seem to win any time one of them does it.Latest hero- Jimmy Rollins.  This is J-Roll's 2nd time with The Howard in 2012.  He's the club leader in homeruns and RBI (20 HR/61 RBI).  He's also been on a tear lately...

Jimmy Rollins Reaches Another Milestone With Phillies, Shows Hustle in Otherwise Anemic Series

Via Philliedelphia  |  September 16, 2012
It was one rough weekend for the Phillies Phillies in Houston as they failed to capitalize on what seemed to be a big opportunity to advance in the Wild Card race, but there was one bright spot:  shortstop Jimmy Rollins.   In the fifth inning of the Phillies' 7-6 loss to the Houston Astros Rollins stole his 30th base of the season.  The steal was number 402 of his career...

Phillies miss opportunity to gain ground in Wild Card race

Via Philly Sports World  |  September 16, 2012
The Phillies felt pretty confident with Kyle Kendrick on the mound last night. His 2.34 ERA since the All Star Break was the second best in all of baseball. Their opponent was the worst team in baseball. In the end, things didn’t work out quite as they had hoped. Kyle Kendrick was not sharp in his 5 innings of work, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits as he dropped to 9-11 on the season...

This day in Phillies history, Phillies accused by Reds of stealing signs

Remember a few years ago when the Philadelphia Phillies were being accused of stealing signs? You remember bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer using binoculars and being accused of using them to steal signs against their opponents. Well, if you dig through the history of the franchise you will know that being accused of stealing signs is certainly nothing new for the Phillies, who were...

The Phillies Are Optimists

The Phillies have definitely been playing better lately. They are 3 games back in the race for the 2nd Wild Card spot with 17 games left to play. And so early this morning, the Phillies decided to send out Postseason ticket invoices to all of their season ticket holders in the hopes of making a run. I wonder how many fans will actually bite? Will you or will you not shell out $400...

Astros shut out Phillies 5-0

HOUSTON -- Kyle Kendrick and the Philadelphia Phillies picked the wrong time to stumble in an already heated race for a spot in the playoffs. Kendrick gave up four runs in five innings while the bats went cold, and the Phillies fell 5-0 to the lowly Astros on Saturday night for their second loss in three games. The win was a feat of sorts for the Astros, who avoided -- at least...

This was a must-win for the Phillies, no doubt about that. Being three games back in the second wild card spot with 16 left to play, the Phils had to beat the last-place, worst in MLB Astros.  Luckily, the Phils backed up Roy Halladay with some early offense. In the top of the first inning, Jimmy Rollins scored on a sacrifice fly from Chase Utley. In the third, Scott Moore...
