Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes came through with a clutch three run home run off reliever Ryan Madson in Wednesday's game against the Phillies. It was a beautiful hit and probably the most important hit of the season for Reyes. Despite a very shaky outing by Phillies' starter Brett Myers, which   more...

Tom Gordon has been struggling recently, giving up a run to the Mets on Saturday that helped raise his ERA to 5.16 for the season, but it appears that injuries have been the reason for his poor pitching. On Sunday night Gordon was placed on the 15 day disabled list due to elbow inflammation. In his   more...

Well it seems Brett Myers three weeks in the minors didn't do much good. He said he worked hard on his fastball. He said how he realized a lot of things about himself. He said he found his swagger. He might have talked a good game, but after walking four consecutive batters in the first inning,   more...

However, the Phillies press notes, updated at noon today, still lists Brett Myers as Thursday's starter against Atlanta. Maybe all this hubub was a clever way to light a fire under his rear end. It looks like they're sticking with Myers, which probably isn't the worst option to be bandied about   more...

Walk-off game winning homeruns kick ass! Especially when they're by the Phillies longest tenured athlete (Pat Burrell) and it's in the bottom of the 10th inning with the Phils other begotten son Chase Utley on base. Chase Utley and Pat Burrell are the show, they are the offense, they are what is   more...

I'll start off with our plump green fuzzy homeboy the Philly Phanatic being named sports' best mascot ever. Growing up a Phillies fan I always loved the Phanatic's playful shenanigans and to this day still appreciate the humor he brings to the ball field. Glad to see he got top honors in Sports   more...

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   more...

Still basking in the glow of making the post-season for the first time in 14 seasons, yet sorely disappointed with the speed with which they were dispatched from the playoffs, the NL East Division Champion Phillies begin planning and preparing for a 2008 season in which they seek to reach the next   more...

I don't usually engage in rumor-mongering like so many others tend to do when the snows of winter suspend the actual playing of baseball and encourage chatter about rosters and trades.I'll make an exception this time, though, for no better reason than that I'm bored, and I think I've found a   more...

The 2008 Philadelphia Phillies are going to be like Batman and Robin. We all know Batman is the Dark Knight who kicks ass with his karate, gadgets, and futuristic vehicle. Robin is the the tag-along that gets in the way and hinders Batman's pursuit of superhero greatness. Batman is awesome, Robin   more...

Private Matters:1. What to do with Wes Helms? The man is a butcher at 3rd base, meaning his only real position is 1st base, but his bat failed miserably in Philly last season and caused the dynamic duo of Patty G and Rube to cast their line for the big catch of Pedro Feliz. This leaves good ol'   more...
