Phillies show signs of resurgence
One of baseball's oldest axioms reminds us that small sample sizes are the ultimate illusion -- think twice about what you're looking at. That logic aside, it's tempting to say the Phillies delivered a message while taking 2-of-3 from the Mets this week, despite devastating news about Roy Halladay.
Can the Phillies win without their ace? Most everyone says no, but here...

Support Group: Get Cliff Lee a Win!
The Phillies beat the Mets on Wednesday night by a score of 10-6. And while the offense finally produced some big runs, the hit parade did not actually arrive until after pitcher Cliff Lee exited the game. You know what that means…still no wins for Cliff Lee.
It has been 8 starts and 2 months and poor Lee has been shut-out of the win column. Carlos Ruiz tried to bust him out of...

Cliff Lee: Should The Phillies Consider Trading Their Ace?
Cliff Lee is a man that’s been traded ALOT, including by the Philadelphia Phillies a few years ago. He’s no stranger to it, and it goes to show what teams think of the left handed star. The Philadelphia Phillies recently lost Roy Halladay to a Lat Muscle injury, and have been without the ailing Chase Utley (knee) and Ryan Howard (achillies) all year. The Phillies have...

Another No Decision for Lee in Phillies Win
These are the kind of games that make me wonder why so much emphasis is put on pitcher wins and losses. It is a flawed statistic. Phillies starter Cliff Lee has a 2.82 ERA in 7 starts and NO wins through no fault of his own. At least 5 of those he should definitely have won, but the offense did not help out.
Why is the win/loss stat still heavily relied upon when determining who...

War of Words: Lee, Victorino bicker on bench; what it means for Phillies

The old saying is that baseball is a marathon and not a sprint. In that case, you have to remember that an entire 162-game season is a roller coaster ride.
Things really seemed to be coming to a head when Charlie Manuel...

Cliff Lee and Shane Victorino Exchange Angry Words in Phillies Dugout
ESPN's Steve Berthiaume reports that there were angry words between Phillies starting pitcher Cliff Lee and outfielder Shane Victorino.
Victorino lost a routine fly ball which led to a triple and ultimately a run. By rule, the play is considered a triple if the fielder does not touch it.
The Phillies broadcast ultimately talked about it and showed Charlie Manuel getting...
