The run without half of the Phillies stud infield is almost over. Placido Polanco could be belting the ball in Wrigley Field this weekend.
Seemingly buried in a story about the Phillies pitching and a Chase Utely update was a nugget about Polanco’s rehab. The starting third baseman went 1-for-4 in a rehab assignment and is [...]

Moyer coming back to reality?
July 16th, 2010 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
Jamie Moyer was to be an afterthought this season. A year removed from a season he’d like to forget, Moyer wasn’t many people’s favorite for the fifth spot in the rotation.
The potential Hall-of-Famer quickly quieted the doubters this season and put himself in the All-Star conversation.
Now we have to question if we’ve gotten the [...]

Not good All-Star night for Howard, Halladay in NL 3-1 win
July 13th, 2010 · 3 Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
Just two Phillies made it to Anaheim to represent the two-time NL Champions in the All-Star Game on Tuesday and the individual results weren’t great.
Slugger Ryan Howard went 0-for-2 as the NL’s starting designated hitter. Generally, a $25-million-per-year man hopes to do a tad better in the All-Star Game, especially when his manager was chastised [...]

The Greater Philadelphia Region is blowing up Baseball America’s midseason Top 25 prospect list that was released Friday.
Domonic Brown, the Phillies future star outfielder who was recently promoted to Triple A Lehigh valley, heads the list. That really is no surprise. Brown has torn apart minor league pitching after a torrid spring [...]

Don’t expect Werth to be dealt in near future
July 9th, 2010 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
Jayson Werth may be dealt, but don’t look for it to happen anytime soon. The Phillies aren’t simply going to ship their power hitting rightfielder unless they get the right package in return — think a solid No. 2 or top No. 3 pitcher as ESPN’s Buster Olney tweeted yesterday. Can you say Dan Haren?
One [...]

Want to know who Shane Victorino must have met with prior to last night’s game? We’ve found him. He goes by the name of PimpCoop. He’s a rambling idiot who rips on Philly fans. Take a listen to Mr. Pimp. If you can figure out what the hell he’s trying to say, please let us [...]
Chan Ho Park gives us TMI
July 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
Thanks to my boys at The DLeague Show for pointing this out to us. Former Phillies reliever Chan Ho Park tells the New York media why he was having some issues recently. Apparently, even former Phils are stinking up the joint right now.

Shane, play better and you’ll hear cheers again
July 8th, 2010 · 1 Comment · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
For a player hitting .251, Shane Victorino sure has a lot of confidence. Or, is he just easily distracted?
After last night’s loss to the Atlanta Braves that dropped the Phillies to six games behind the division lead, Victorino went after the fans for voicing their opinions about the results the team has produced the last [...]
