What doesn't kill them will only make them stronger. Devastating loss? Who cares? The Mets turned the tables on the Phillies, scoring four runs with two outs in the eighth inning, winning by a score of 6-3. The Mets are disappointing people everywhere by refusing to collapse. They're now on top of   more...

It's the end of August and as the pennant races are in full boil, it's time to throw my 2 cents worth in for the post-season awards as they stand right now. There's still a month to go, but the candidates look pretty locked up and there are always wild cards, so here we go.

The Phillies offense "exploded" for 6 runs today, getting timely hits from Greg Dobbs and Chase Utley to help them win 6-3 and take the series against the Pirates. The Phils offense finally appeared to wake up, considering it hadn't scored more than 5 runs in a game since July 31st when they scored   more...

Yes the Philliess lost to the Dodgers last night, but not all is lost. Manny Ramirez made Kyle Kendrick look bad and Derek Lowe was the beneficiary. However, the Mets and Marlins lost so it's all good in the hood (at least that's what I keep telling myself).Click on the URL for info on the   more...

I have to be honest. The Phillies have finally left me speechless. I really don't want to sound like one of those stereotypical "Negadelphians", but after watching last light's loss to the Pirates, the taste in my mouth from Thursday's loss to the Marlins has intenstified.Despite a superb   more...

It took some late heroics, but the Phillies managed to take the rubber match in their series with the Cardinals by a score of 5-4. The Phillies were shut out for the first five innings of the game as Cardinals starter Todd Wellemeyer plowed through the Phillie hitters. Chase Utley finally broke   more...

Holy schnikes, almost didn't pull that one out. Brad Lidge gave Phils fans a few heart attacks last night, hell make that a baker's dozen. In the end everything is fine and dandy though, as Lidge converted his 28th save of the season; extending the Phils lead in the NL East to 2.5 games over the   more...

Hunched over, hands on knees, and a look of utter disbelief on his face - that is the image thousands of baseball fans had of Phillies' closer Brad Lidge. That was before the 2008 season. Lidge had given up a walk off home run to Scott Podsednik (only the outfielder's second home run of the entire   more...

The landscape of bullpens continues to change. St. Louis has an intriguing decision to make soon between a rookie and a playoff hero. Both Cleveland and Oakland have found new closers while Pittsburgh is on the verge of getting its own stopper back from injury.

Today's look shows a guy pitching his way out of a guaranteed $24 million, a hitter chasing 40-40, BABIP explaining hot reliever and a cold starter, a reminder to not chase saves on draft day and lots more.

We're assuming that since NBC Football Night in America has a cast that would equal the legal roster of any NFL team, preparing pre-broadcast meals for the studio show could be a lot of work.

Despite a sputtering offense, the Phillies remained in first place this week, two games up on New York Mets. The Phils' offense continues to look lost, and at one point this week went 23 innings without scoring a run, despite facing less than stellar opposing pitching.The Phillies lost two games to   more...

Brad Lidge isn't feeling well. No, not a stomach virus, his shoulder is stiff. That makes me cringe. The Phils alway lie about injury, trying to downsize how bad it really is, so consider me worried.The Phils beat the Pirates...yippie! Now they have to go play a real team in the Dodgers.
