The Pedro Party started last night and it was entertaining. In the end, his line resembled the man he replaced (Jamie Moyer), but this was his first outing in a long time, so one could surmise he'll improve upon this start. His pitches had good movement, he just got hurt when he...

Lidge:What is happening to him this season is what many feared would happen to him from the get-go. These types of struggles are nothing new for Brad, as he had a tumultuous career in Houston, going from good to bad, to great to abysmal. He had an historically perfect season closing...

Last 10 Games

| Comments
Over the last 10 games, since July 29th, the Phillies have gone 3-7. They scored only 29 (2.9 rpg) and allowed only 39 (3.9 rpg). That's pathetic from a team that's supposed to be an offensive machine. Utley, Victorino, Howard, Werth, and Ibanez were all all-stars, yet they...

Ugh, the Marlins! They certainly are some pesky bastards. Now that they have "The Nephew" (aka Nick Johnson, Larry Bowa's nephew), their offense is a bit more complete and their pitching remains top-notch. Blanton pitched a decent game, but the Phils offense remained...

When the Phillies faced the Rockies back in the beginning of April they were a dismal team heading towards playing bottom dwelling baseball that would lead to their manager being fired. Since then Colorado has flipped the script and become one of the hottest teams in baseball and a...

The Phillies recently wrapped up one of their most successful months of July in franchise history, so I thought it would be fun to look back on who was hot and who was not.Hot:Shane Victorino- .381/1.011, 22 r, 40 h, 8 dbl, 3 hr, 14 rbi, 5 sb.Chase Utley- .307/.933, 22 r, 31 h, 4 dbl...

Joe Blanton pitched like an ace last night, surrendering only 2 runs over 7 innings while continuing to drop his ERA with every outing. His ERA on May 21st was 7.11, and with each subsequent start thereafter (except a minor blip on June 18th) he's consistently lowered it, to the...

Today is a momentous occasion as WSBGM's has added the first Phillie to "The Howard" list. The Howard- "The Howard" is a statistical accomplishment made popular by our slugging first baseman - a homer, strikeout, and error in the same game. We will acknowledge...

Damn, shutout at the hands of some dude with a 7+ ERA and some team 15 games under .500. Ah, who gives a spit? The Phils took the series from the D'backs and got Cliff Lee yesterday. Seriously, life is good. Time to take our 6 game lead in the NL East and head over to San Fran...

It amazes me that Jamie Moyer is able to work himself in and out of trouble like he does. He goes through periods where it seems every pitch is a "hit me" or he's missing the strikezone by doing his patented "nibble around the corners" approach like a mouse...

*Rodrigo Lopez is now 3-0 and the Phillies have won all 4 games that he has started. They've already gotten more than what they invested in him, and removing him from the rotation would be foolish. Just because Pedro might be ready in another week, should not mean RoLo gets bumped...
