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...

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...

The Phils are a butt-spanking 39-20 against teams currently with losing records, but only 20-30 against teams currently on the plus side of .500. Wins are wins, and as long as they make it to the playoffs I'm cool, but remember the teams in the playoffs are on the good side of .500.For the full   more...

When pitcher J.A. Happ was pulled from his Triple-A start last Sunday, I assumed he had been traded. Happ, a starter, really had really had no position with the Phillies. With the addition of Joe Blanton and the return of Brett Myers, the rotation seemed to be set for the remainder of the   more...

I guess all good things do have to come to an end eventually. Entering tonight's game, Jamie Moyer had a career record of 10-0 against the Florida Marlins. Unfortunately for Moyer, he didn't bring his best stuff tonight, and although he did well to fight his way out of jams, the Marlins finally   more...

Just days after coming up empty in their quest for more pitching, Rudy Seanez will be sidelined at least 15 days with back and shoulder soreness. Triple-A left-hander Les Walrond replaces him on the roster. Beerleaguer: This should come as no surprise. Seanez hasn't been pitching well and was used   more...

I guess it only took one appearance by Les Walrond and J.A. Happ out of the bullpen for the front office to realize they need another left-handed reliever. Today Scott Eyre is a Phillie.The newest Phillie has struggled this season with the Cubs this season going 2-0 with a 7.15 ERA (although all   more...

Two days ago I called out Rudy Seanez and how bad he has pitched this month and now it looks like we won't be seeing him for a while. The Phillies placed Seanez on the 15 day disabled list with a shoulder inflammation. Supposedly Seanez hurt himself while making a tag in Thursday's game, but this   more...

On Sunday night, Iron Pigs starter Les Walrond made history. The left-hander became the first pitcher in Lehigh Valley's history to throw a complete game as the Iron Pigs beat the Louisville Bats 4-3. What's more impressive is Walrond struck out 17, an International League season-high, and Iron   more...

When the Phillies take he field tonight against the Nationals, a familiar face should be manning the hot corner. Not Greg Dobbs or Eric Bruntlett, but injured third baseman Pedro Feliz. Feliz has been sidelined since July 25th with inflammation in his lower back.While Dobbs and Bruntlett have   more...

Senior correspondent Martin Smith, the only fan who stayed the course with So Taguchi, provides his take on the struggling right-hander. "I think Myers has totally lost it. With control like last night, he can't even be a reliever. He was 1-3 in the minors, which means he didn't beat minor   more...

Third baseman Pedro Feliz returns from the 15-day disabled list tonight when the two sides square off at 7:05 ET. To make room, left-hander Les Walrond was designated for assignment. Feliz, who has been sidelined with lower back inflammation since July 29, is not in tonight's starting lineup; Greg   more...

The Phillies bullpen was nothing short of spectacular last night. They allowed only one run on four hits in ten innings of work. Unfortunately they used every bullpen arm they had and actually had tonight's starter, Kyle Kendrick ready to pitch the--th inning. Given the needed rest the bullpen   more...

Following yesterday's game, left-hander Les Walrond had his contract purchased from Lehigh Valley, while infielders Mike Cervenak and Andy Tracy were both recalled. All three were with the club earlier. Everyone who reads Beerleaguer is familiar with Walrond, Cervenak and Tracy, so we'll skip the   more...
