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 [...]

Phillies get three All-Stars thanks to slump, injuries

July 4th, 2010 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies

First there were five. In the end, there are none.
At the end of the first round of voting for the 2010 All-Star game, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Placido Polanco, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth were all leading at their positions and would have started.
Today, the number of Phils in the starting lineup stands at zero, [...]

Phillies continue giving Halladay poor run support

June 30th, 2010 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies

DailyPhiladelphian.com Editor
“Every fifth day is a Halladay.”
The Phillies batters are taking that T-shirt slogan a bit too literally.
After starting the season like gangbusters and compiling a 6-1 record in his first seven starts for the Phillies, Roy Halladay has become human before our eyes. Or has he?
Sure, he now holds a pedestrian 9-7 [...]

Just a mere 24 hours ago, the Land of the Red Pinstripes was in a state of shock. Both Placido Polanco and Chase Utley were heading to the DL at the beginning of an important two-week stretch before the All-Star break.
The Phillies had to find a way to stay within striking distance [...]

Ruben Amaro is on the verge of facing a full out firestorm, the likes of which he has not had to endure since striking out in a crucial situation during his playing days.
Let’s face it, the man has had a nice run as assistant GM to Pat Gillick, and GM of a [...]

Moyer again the stopper for Phillies

June 27th, 2010 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies

By FRANK WARD
DailyPhiladelphian.com Editor
Jamie Moyer is killing me. There are only so many creative ways you can write a lede for a 47-year-old pitcher who’s playing like an ace and setting longevity records.
He did it again on Sunday, tossing seven innings of six hit baseball and surrendering just two earned runs. Moyer ran his record [...]

Halladay, Moyer eligible for All-Star game despite new MLB rules

June 27th, 2010 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies

By FRANK WARD
DailyPhiladelphian.com Editor
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.
Under new [...]

June 26th, 2010 · 1 Comment · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies

By FRANK WARD
DailyPhiladelphian.com Editor
Much has been made in recent weeks about Ruben Amaro’s desire to add a solid pitcher to the Phillies rotation in the event JA Happ can’t return from the DL, Joe Blanton doesn’t regain his form, or Jamie Moyer or Kyle Kendrick implode.
There’s a former Phillies “ace” that’s beaten CC Sabathia in [...]
