Water in the Forecast as Fish Try to Take Two; Thoughts On Lidge
The Weather.com outlook for this evening isn't very promising for the fans heading down to CBP for tonight's game two against the Marlins. The match up on the mound will put Joe Blanton (2-3, 7.11 ERA) up against Andrew Miller (1-1, 4.94 ERA). Blanton has kind of been in the...

Who's next?New setup man Brett Myers gave his best imitation of his home-run derby delivery yesterday and new closer Ryan Madson blew his sixth save of the season, no small feat given he isn't the regular closer, as the Phils dropped an ugly game to the New York Mets, 10-9...
Victorino Walks-off (to All-Star Game?)
Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel was in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. Wednesday night's game against the Reds was strangely familiar to Tuesday night's loss. Rodrigo Lopez (five innings, two earned runs) pitched well enough to win, but the Phillies had wasted...

Absence of Gordon creates domino effect in bullpen

Injured reliever Tom Gordon may not have been sharp before his June 6 trip to the DL, but his absence means more innings, more mismatches and more heat on the back of the Phillies' bullpen. Lost in the Brett Myers shuffle was Ryan Madson's three-run sixth inning, which put...
The City That Hates Tom Gordon

Well, Opening Day is a wrap, and once again, the bullpen is responsible for the Phillies' first loss of the season. You may recall Ryan Madson blowing last year's opener by serving up a two-run home run to Edgar Renteria, then of the Atlanta Braves. Today's culprit is Tom...

I love dongs. I love walk-off dongs even better...I've also wanted to hate Raul Ibanez since he was signed. He replaced a legend, the Great One, the Left Field Pimp. And while I'm still not ecstatic about three years and thirty million, Ibanez's first three weeks with the...

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...

In Reading, Sergio Escalona's blown save in the ninth opened the door for Harrisburg to steal it 6-5 in the 10th. In Allentown, the IronPigs set a franchise record with 10 walks in an 11-3 loss, including seven by the 'pen. Perfect timing for a minor league bullpen preview...

It would have been nice if, a day after Charlie Manuel reluctantly went to extricate Brad Lidge from a ninth-inning jam, bringing in Ryan Madson to save a one-run win, the Phils could have put up a ton of early runs and cruised to an easy win in Washington. But it’s been...

Well that was certainly an exciting series, and CERTAINLY more exciting than it should have been. You had great pitching, lots of HR, a couple plays at the plate, clutch hits, blown saves, a first-MLB-game HR and Phillies fans outcheering Yankees fans.
The Phils won 2 of 3, but it...

Yeah, you read that right: the Phillies' bullpen shined in a victory over the Reds! Starter Kyle Kendrick looked pedestrian, but was able to get out of some jams and limit the Reds to four runs. Afterward, the Phillies' bullpen pitched four scoreless innings, allowing only...

J.A. Happ will get the nod on Saturday at the new Yankees Stadium. That is because he has been moved to the starting rotation to replace Chan Ho Park. Park was disappointed but all in all had to understand that he did not deserve to be in the rotation.Happ will now be given the chance...

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 Phillies' struggles with runners in scoring position continued, but they generated just enough to overcome the downtrodden Metropolitans to take the first of four at Citizens Bank Park. Cole Hamels pitched a rock-solid 6 2-3, allowing one run. The Mets brought the tying run...

PHILADELPHIA -- So much for David Wright's post-concussion slump.

Poor Charlie Manuel, he can't make a right move no matter what he does with his bullpen these days. If you think you can get three late outs for the Phillies, head down to 1 Citizens Bank Way and tell them Closing Time sent you. The beleaguered Brad Lidge(notes) got a day off Wednesday...
