Well Brad Lidge finally gave up is first ER, even though that never should have been a double because Werth misplayed the ball in center. Luckily Lidge’s first earned run came when the Phils had a 2 run lead. Lidge’s ERA is now 0.50 and he is averaging more than a K an inning. He [...]
Jimmy Rollins made a successful return to the Phillies line up on Friday night. He went 3 for 5 with a double and a 2 run homer. The Phils are just a different team with Rollins in the line up, a better team at that. I wonder how many of our 16 losses would have [...]
OK. I haven’t posted in a while and that is because my computer has recently stopped working. So now I am posting from my phone which is kind of difficult. But I assure anyone who actually reads this shitty blog that it will be up and running from this point. I won’t be able to [...]
PHILS LOOK FOR FIRST 3 GAME SWEEP OF THE SEASON
PHI: RHP Brett Myers (2-1, 4.78 ERA)
Myers lasted at least seven innings in each of his past three starts and has allowed three runs or less in four of six starts this season. The Phils have won each of his past three outings. He has [...]
THIS ISN’T LAST YEAR…
Well the Phils find themselves back at the .500 mark once again. This game was up and down for the Phils. Kendrick wasn’t pretty today giving up 5 ER over 5 IP on 2 home runs. The Phils were down 5-2 in the 6th inning when Jayson Werth led off the inning [...]
PETE HAPPY HITS A GAME WINNING PINCH HIT HOME RUN
Last night was a wild one for sure. The game started off great with a solo homer by the man’s man Chase Utley. With that one run through the first couple innings it looked like that might be all Eaton needed to get the Phils the [...]
JOHN MARZANO FOUND DEAD IN HIS PHILADELPHIA HOME
A time out here at Long Drive to remember a great person and commentator in John Marzano. I have seen Johnny Marz over the years on Comcast Sportsnet and on MLB.com’s Baseballchannel.TV and I have always loved listening to him. He was always smiling and always had great [...]
VS.
PHI: LHP Jamie Moyer (1-0, 5.52 ERA)
Moyer is coming off a no-decision against the Cubs on Sunday in which he allowed four runs over five innings, striking out two and walking one. His lone win this season came against the Mets on April 8, when he held New York to two runs in [...]
This is it. The match up that everyone has been waiting for since Johan Santana was aquired by the Mets from the Minnesota Twins. Cole Hamels vs. Johan Santana. Change-up vs. Change-up. Hollywood vs. Crap. Anyway this game is huge from a rivalry stand point because these are the teams respectively best pitchers and Hamels has been compared to Santana since he has come up.
THEIR ALIVE! THE PHILLIES BATS ARE ALIVE!!!
Finally! The Phils dismantled the Astros yesterday in a convincing fashion, winning by a score of 10-2. The Phils hit a total of 4 home runs courtesy of Utley, Howard, Burrell, and Coste. Chris Coste was definitely the star of the game going 4-for-5 with a double and a [...]
