Ace Roy Halladay is going to Anaheim for the All-Star game unless Charlie Manuel has completely lost his mind. If Jamie Moyer has another solid start today and in his next start July 2 at Pittsburgh, he would have to be given consideration to become the oldest player in All-Star history.

CC to face his Daddy on Sunday
October 31st, 2009 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
If the Yankees are Pedro’s Daddy, then the Phils are CC Sabathia’s Daddy.
While fatman CC has mowed down opponents throughout the last two years, he hasn’t done so well against the Phillies. In three career games, he’s 1-1 with a 4.35 ERA. That is not your normal CC Sabathia.
Last year, he gave up five runs [...]

Blanton starting Game 4 vs. ?
October 30th, 2009 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
Charlie Manuel didn’t exactly shock the baseball world by announcing Joe Blanton would start Game 4 of the Fall Classic on Sunday night. His opponent has yet to be determined.
Sure, the Phillies could have opted to go with JA Happ or Cliff Lee, but Blanton was the best choice. The guy has World Series experience [...]

We always thought Super Bowl Media Day was the official host of “Dumbest Questions to Ask a Pro Athlete.”
We stand corrected.
While driving home from a long day of molding young minds as a teacher, your Daily Philadelphian flipped on SportsRadio 660 WFAN in New York to get their take on the Fall Classic from the [...]

For Hamels, postseason starts today

Will the real Cole Hamels please stand up, please stand up, please stand up?
Tonight is the young pitcher’s most important start since Game 5 of the World Series. At 7:05 p.m., the postseason commences for young Cole.
The pitcher who never shies away from the demands of being an ace pitcher is stepping into [...]
Phillies must play with urgency
September 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Sports
Will anyone remember the 2009 Kansas City Royals in two months? Actually, do you remember them now?
Will you remember the Florida Marlins in November?
Of course not. That’s fairly interesting considering after the first month of the season, the two teams were among the best teams in baseball.
The point is, nobody remembers how [...]

Better now than later for Cliff Lee, Phils
August 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Sports
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Cliff Lee was going to get torched. All pitchers do.
Since coming to Philly in late July, Lee has been unhittable on his way to a 5-0 record. Last night, the skies opened up on Lee, who surrendered six runs and three home runs, in the Phillies 9-1 [...]
