The Phillies may have started too late in reference to retooling the Phillies by possibly moving a couple veterans or other players that just either have been on the Phillies too long now, or by bringing in some newer players in to help spur this team on better. The MLB non-waiver trade deadline ends at 4 PM today, and there […]
Monthly Archives: July 2013
Jonathan Papelbon made some comments the other night that struck a bad chord with some people that are fans of the Phillies and probably ownership and management of the Phillies. Papelbon, who was signed to be the Phillies closer in November of 2011 has spoken, and people took note of what he said. Jonathan Papelbon was brought to Philadelphia to […]
One of the longest losing streaks of the season now for the Phillies and we’re talking about it on the longest running independent show on the internet that follows the Phillies. It’s Rich and Jim from Phillies Talk Podcast, and ‘Seven Games Of Agony’ from Sunday, July 28th 2013.
Lee and Amaro in happier times It’s the double whammy. The Phillies road trip to St. Louis to visit the Cardinals and then onto Detroit to face the Tigers. We had hoped for them to play well during the remaining days of July, but the Phillies have come up empty. Some good news in the mix as the Phillies have […]
The Cardinals have been on a bit of a roll, they were the first team in the NL to reach 60 wins, that came with the victory against the Phillies on Tuesday night. The Cards have reeled off a record of 7-3 in their last 10 games prior to the start of Wednesday night’s game. It’s no accident that the […]
Ex-Phillies wonder if stadium is to blame for players’ brain cancer: Veteran’s Stadium was the home of the Phillies from 1971 to 2003 Right after I heard the news of Darren Daulton having brain cancer, I immediately thought about Veterans Stadium, it was all artificial turf and when that place got hot, it sizzled. Was there something more in the […]
The talk has been whether or not the Phillies should be buyers or sellers. We’ve already seen what all of the buying has produced for the Phillies, they really can’t go out there and keep buying, so if they do happen to want to buy, they most assuredly will be moving some big portion of salary to make that happen. […]
Phillies vs Mets Chat
The Phillies thumped one of the hottest pitchers in baseball since June 4th, Jeremy Heffner had been sailing along with baseball’s best ERA which was 1.76. The Phillies dismantled that ERA last night and Heffner didn’t get out of the second inning, cooling off the hot Mets that were winners of 5 of 8 games just before the All-Star Break. […]
Mets fans still flying the Met Flag despite being 41-50 at the All-Star Break photo: Slgckgc / flickr The season is already more than half over for the Philadelphia Phillies, historically though, the measurement for the ‘half season’ is by the All-Star break. It’s a nice break for the players who have been on a constant cycle of playing and […]
Lee would probably would have wanted to close his eyes at his actions last night at the All Star Game A while ago no one really cared who won the MLB All-Star game, but now in the past few years the baseball brass have made this game count for something. Now the game means more than ever and this year […]

It was a long day for Phillies fans and stadium workers yesterday in a marathon, day/night doubleheader at CBP. The first game started at 4PM and with a brief rain delay included the game at night didn’t get over till well over midnight and then there was fireworks. The Phillies almost were able to win both games, but in the […]
The franchise for the Phillies has been around a long time. The team started of course in 1883 and since then, the Phillies have only played the Chicago White Sox a total of 9 times. So, the series that is starting this afternoon and then the night game of the day/night doubleheader will be less than a dozen times that […]

You had the Phillies ace, Cliff Lee and the Washington Nats ace, Gio Gonzalez matched up […]
