Phillies Bashed by Brewers

    In the first inning, things were looking up for the Phillies, Dom Brown cracked a three run home run and Cole Hamels would pitch with a lead for the first time since April 7.  That's when everything went completely wrong, leading to an 8-5 loss for the Phillies.

Despite the loss, lets rejoice in how hot Dom Brown is right now.  Read on!

Phillies Crushed by Red Sox

    I know all of you missed me last night, but I was sick and passed out for most the game, but here's a quick recap for you anyway.  The Phillies got demolished by the Red Sox in the series finale 9-2.

As you can tell this cat is angry at the Phillies level of play in this game.  Read on!

Solo Home Runs Boost Phillies to Victory

    The Phillies returned home tonight to again face the Red Sox, and squeaked out a win to move to within 1 game of .500 at 26-27.  Yet again it was a low scoring affair for the Phillies, but with the help of solid pitching the Phillies held on for the win.  The Phillies squeezed out a 4-3 win in the end, thanks to the help of Dom Brown, who provided comic relief by ripping his pants stealing a base early in the game.

Follow the Lee-der

    One night after being embarrassed at the hands of the Boston Red Sox, the Phillies bounced back to squeak out a 3-1 win.  The offense still was not a juggernaut in any way, shape, or form, but plated enough runs behind a spectacular pitching performance.

Phillies Blown Out by Red Sox

    To put things bluntly, tonight's Phillies game was extremely ugly as they fell to the Red Sox 9-3 at Fenway Park.  The Red Sox shelled the Phillies and they just pretty much rolled over and took it.

For a quick break before getting back to the recap, lets take a moment to remember all those who have fought and died for our many freedoms.  We salute you!

Embarrassment: The Story of Today's Phillies Loss

    Embarrassing may not be harsh enough to describe today's Phillies loss to the Nationals.  The game was cruising along as a pitchers duel until the bottom half of the seventh when the wheels completely fell off for the Phillies.

To cheer you up, here's a picture of a dog in a tuxedo at his doggy school graduation.  Read on!

Pettibone Solid Again, Phillies Top Nationals

    The Phillies beat the Nationals tonight 5-3 in front of all 300 of Washington's fans.  A miniature late inning rally, matched with Chad Durbin actually not allowing runs for a change allowed the Phillies to head home with a win tonight.

Phillies Twisted Rationale to Martinez's Call Up

    So Chase Utley hit the disabled list and we all eagerly awaited the call up of Darin Ruf or Cesar Hernandez.  While Ruf is a first baseman / sad excuse for an outfielder, with Freddy Galvis to cover the fielding, many figured the Phillies would go for offense and give Ruf the call.  They did not.  At the very least, many assumed Hernandez would receive the call, as he is primarily a second baseman and has hit .312 this season in Lehigh Valley.  Wrong again.  This is about when every Phillies fan worst nightmare came true, the Phillies called up, gulp, Michael Martinez.

Mercy Me, A Shutout From Lee

    Because I was too lazy to write a recap last night, here's a quick summary for you.  The Phillies beat that disgrace of an excuse for a professional baseball team, the Miami Marlins 3-0.

Phillies Score Runs, Hamels Cries Himself to Sleep

    So in a complete 180 from last night's contest, the Phillies decided to actually bring their bats to Marlins Park tonight.  The offense broke out for 7 runs as they cruised to a 7-3 victory and no doubt assured that Cole Hamels will cry himself to sleep tonight after never receiving any run support.

For no reason at all, here is a picture of a cat at the bottom of some steps, enjoy and read on friends.

Phillies Offense Still Terrible, Lose to Marlins

    In an effort to keep their reputation as one of the least feared lineups in the majors, with the exception of the Astros and tonight's opponent the Marlins, the Phillies offense chose to do little to nothing yet again.  Unlike the late inning dramatics that saw the Phillies hit back to back home runs to win yesterday, there was no such excitement tonight, as they fell to the lowly Marlins 5-1.

Kratz and Galvis Homer to Stir Comeback Win

     If the Phillies performance today had to be compared to a mythical bird it would definitely have to be the phoenix. (Not the Arcticuno)

Wrap-up after the jump.

Despite Scare, Phillies Win

    The Phillies held a lead for the majority of tonight's game against the Cincinnati Reds, that is until the extremely shaky bullpen put an end to that.  After a solid effort from Cliff Lee, Antonio Bastardo did all he could to assure that Lee would not receive the win, although wins don't matter for the pitcher, only for the team so who cares.

Time to Move Michael Young to Lead Off

    The Phillies, as has been tradition the past few seasons, have gone into slumps in which they struggle to plate runs, wasting solid pitching performances by failing to back them up at the plate.  While the steady downward slide of the Phillies offense from the slugging machine it was only a few years ago can mostly be attributed to an aging lineup that has not been hitting for power, there is another problem as well, the lead off hitter.

Comparing the Phillies Outfield to Types of Job Candidates

    In the spirit of just finishing college and being on the hunt for jobs, we have decided to compare the entire Phillies outfield to the different types of job candidates you might be battling for the same position.  So here we go folks, hang on this could be a bumpy ride:

Phillies Pitchers Pulverized in Loss to Indians

    The Phillies entered today's contest on three game win streak, looking to sweep the Indians in a short two game series.  The Indians had something different in mind, as they walloped the Phillies and cruised to a 10-4 victory.

Phillies Sign Zambrano

    Are your eyes deceiving you?  No they are not, the Phillies have signed Carlos Zambrano to a minor league deal and he will report to extended spring training.  Most recently rumors had been swirling that Zambrano had agreed to terms with Atlantic League club the Long Island Ducks, however he apparently never signed the contract.

Could Galvis be a Starting Outfielder by End of 2013?

    Freddy Galvis presents the Phillies with a very interesting predicament.  He has possibly the smoothest glove on the roster, and has also shown growth at the plate since last season as well.  With Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley already entrenched in the middle infield positions, and Michael Young holding down third base, Galvis has seen sparing at-bats but has definitely earned more chances.  The solution you ask?  Allow Freddy Galvis to start in the outfield.

Phillies Speared By Marlins

    The Phillies suffered yet another embarrassing loss this afternoon to split this four game series with the Marlins.  The Phillies pitchers were thoroughly romped on the way to a 14-2 disgrace of a loss to a team that would probably lose to most Triple A squads.

Phillies Offense Does Disappearing Act

    The Phillies offense pulled yet another disappearing act tonight, something they have become famous for in recent years.  The Phillies made a 20 year old kid, who by the way is one year and one day younger than me, look like Cy Young himself.  So thank you to the Phillies and Jose Fernandez for making me feel quite terrible.

Kendrick Gets Phillies Back On Track

    After losing both games in a short series to the Indians, the Phillies returned home this evening to kick off a series with the lowly Marlins.  This series should be just what the Phillies need to get going, but with this team, you can't count on anything, that is except the solid early season performance of Kyle Kendrick (I know weird to say right?).  The Phillies topped a Double A team by a score of 7-2 tonight as they improved to 13-16 on the season.
