The Phillies took the final game from Atlanta behind Cliff Lee's stellar outing.
Imagine having a 60-piece orchestra greet you every time you came to bat.
Jonathan Papelbon, for all his minor quirks and foibles, is still one of the elite relievers in the game of baseball today, and should continue to pitch well out of the back end of the Phillies' bullpen.
A summation of the first round of The Good Phight's keeper league player auction, and the hilarity that goes with it.
If Delmon Young starts stuffing his face marginally less, he'll get a big fat bonus! Wait, let me rephrase that.
Former top Phillies prospect and Hunter Pence trade piece Jonathan Singleton was handed a 50-game suspension for violation of minor league baseball's drug use policy after testing positive for...
Chad Qualls at Baseball Reference Chad Qualls at Fangraphs Did you read those? Good, save me a lot of effort and grief. I...don't really know what else to say. 31 1/3 innings of disaster. Home...
Injuries to Carlos Ruiz and Brian Schneider gave Erik Kratz his first real shot at a big league job, and boy, did he deliver.
Roy Halladay is scheduled to make his final start of the season on Saturday.
Darin Ruf hit his first major league career home run as the Philadelphia Phillies took the first game of a three-game set with the Washington Nationals.
Let me be very clear about something: I do not like Larry Wayne Jones, Jr. at all. I don't care who knows it. If you try to tell me I'm wrong for doing so, I'm going to laugh in your face. I can,...
The Philadelphia Phillies won the rubber match against the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon by the score of 6-2. With the win, the Phillies take the season series from the Reds, the team with the...
If there's one thing Philadelphia knows, it's food. This town pretty much revolves around the food service industry. Just watch a national broadcast of a Phillies game on ESPN. All they ever...
The Philadelphia Phillies have named minor leaguers 1B/LF Darin Ruf and P Tyler Cloyd as the winners of the 2012 Paul Owens Award. The award--named after Paul Owens, general manager of the Phillies...

I hate boats. Like I really hate boats. Cruise ships, yachts, canoes, I hate 'em all. I won't even sit on an inflatable raft in a wave pool, because if I do, that pool's going to be populated with...
Cole Hamels dominated the Braves, pitching a shutout as the Phillies rolled to a 3-0 win.
Carlos Ruiz on DL (plantar fasciitis in left foot). MRI revealed partial tear. Expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Hector Luna recalled.— Todd Zolecki (@ToddZolecki) August 4, 2012
Words...they don't exist anymore.That's a ton of scrill. h/t Nikk.m for tipping me off.
It’s what Phillies fans have been anticipating for nearly 40 games now. You almost had that feeling that tonight was going to be something special. I mean, how could it not be? Everything was...
CSNPhilly speculating that Cole Hamels might somehow end up in Pittsburgh by the trade deadline. Probably nothing actually worth talking about, but I just really wanted to write that headline. Plus, Gerrit Cole, anyone?
It's difficult to do anything else at this point. This entire season has really been some sort of cosmic prank on the Phillies, so why not take a moment and just laugh at them? There's already been...
Rangers have a pretty damn good minor league system right now, so if this is true, we could in theory get some high-level prospects back. Top prize would easily be SS Jurickson Profar. One guy I'd like to take a look at is 3B Mike Olt. 23 years old, batting .303/.414/.595 with 20 HRs in AA, plays above-average defense. Only issue is a 24.6% K rate, but that might decrease with some more work. Seems like a bonafide slugging 3B, and we all know just how important they are to have...
Rather amusing story about the Indians' closer, thought I'd share it with the group. You know that quote, "you never know what you'll see at the old ballpark?" Yeah...
I'm sure most of you by now are well aware of some of the comments that Jayson Werth has made about the Philadelphia Phillies in light of his recent injury and the supposed cheering of his broken...
The bit's down toward the end of the recap. It's apparently right elbow inflammation, which is never a good thing.
Old news by now, but some of the stuff Chase is saying is very encouraging. If its true that he's completely pain-free while hitting, the addition of his bat into our lineup is going to be a boon for this offense. Call me cautiously excited.
