Last night the Philadelphia Phillies fell short to the in state rival Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3. In that game, struggling Phillies third baseman Cody Asche batted seventh in the lineup and went 2 for 4 on the night. Now hitting .245 with 2 home runs and only 4 RBI’s on the season he has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley where …

The 2015 season is underway, and optimism isn’t exactly flowing in Philadelphia. Many people predict this to be a down season, and several trades could be in the mix throughout the year. With that being said, the starting rotation is headlined by a true ace, and maybe another guy or 2 can be surprising. Here is a closer look at …

The Philadelphia Phillies have more losses than any team in professional sports history. Add another giant loss their record as details of their television contract extension continue to leak to the public. The Phillies and Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia have agreed to a 25 year extension to their partnership believed to be worth $2.5 – $3 billion. The $100 million a …

That random tower that in Lot U of the Citizens Bank Parking lots will finally be coming down…sort of. Quote from Matt Gelb below: The tower will remain in a different form, a team spokesman said. It will be lowered in height – from 157 feet to 115 feet – and become a two-sided message board. Construction began this week.

I really did not want to approach this topic so soon in the season but the Phillies have made it impossible for me to ignore the status of their play. Expectations for 2013 were that they would have at least the opportunity to win a wild card spot or at least be a team that would play for a spot. …

In their 5th consecutive loss on Thursday night, I do believe the Phillies finally rolled over and died. They did not just lose 5 games, they were slaughtered in the ugliest and most painful manner possible. Every problem this team has had this season was glaring in last night’s 3-11 drubbing, courtesy of the Cardinals. It was a proverbial highlight …

Ryan Howard can’t exactly run anymore. Not that it was his forte before this season, but watching him run is painful. Watching him hit isn’t that much fun either. The Philadelphia Phillies are paying the guy $20 million this year. His .254/.287/.432 slash line is absolutely abysmal and miles under his career averages. Through about a quarter of the season, …

The 1968 season looked like the end of the line for Deron Johnson. In 127 games, Johnson hit only .208 with 8 homeruns and 33 rbi. Since a stellar 1965 season in which he slammed 32 homers and drove-in a league-leading 130 runs, the slugger’s numbers had precipitously declined and his career was in a downward spiral. When the Phillies …

Roy Halladay has been a completely different pitcher for the Phillies this season. His record his 2-4. His ERA is 8.65 which is the worst in the National League and the second worst in baseball. This is something the Phillies are not used to. In yesterday’s game against the Marlins, Halladay couldn’t get through the third inning. He gave up nine runs …
