NY Mets, Phillies Rivarly Never Gets Old

by Kevin Whitehead

About 100 miles away from New York and Philadelphia, there is a grudge between the scripted Mets logo and the star spangled Phillies. They just don't mix.

In 2006, New York won the season series 11-7 and finished 12 games ahead of the second place Phillies. This was the first time both teams we're legitimate contenders until the latter part of the season.

The Mets went all the way to the National League Championship Series but lost to the eventual World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. Little did the Mets know that the game ending 12-6 curveball from closer Adam Wainwright was the last sniff of the postseason they would get for the next two years.

Philadelphia Phillies Mighty in Sweep of Arizona Diamondbacks

by Kevin McGuire

How else would you expect the Phillies to put the exclamation point on a series like the one they just played against the Diamondbacks? The Phillies flexed their muscle in the three game set and completed a sweep of the dismal Diamondbacks with a dominating 12-3 defeat of Arizona.

The offense wasted no time giving starting pitcher Joe Blanton a lead to work with. After Blanton put the Diamondbacks down in order to start the game Shane Victorino put the wheels in motion with a one out triple to deep center field.

How Will This Season End?

by Scott Eisenlohr

Remember the 2007 Colorado Rockies? As a Phillies fan, you will not forget.

They won 21 of 22 games in September to win the Wild Card, then swept the Phillies in three games and swept the Diamondbacks in four games.

What happened in the World Series? They got swept by the Boston Red Sox, who beat the Cleveland Indians in seven games in the ALCS.

Philadelphia Phillies beat Arizona Diamondbacks 8-1

by Kevin McGuire

For the second time since joining the Phillies, Cliff Lee pitched a gem, resulting in a two-hit, no earned runs complete game, handing the Phillies a stress-free victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Just for good measure, Lee tacked on a pair of base hits to make up for the two hits he allowed in the game.

The rest of the Phillies' offense was not too shabby, either. Jayson Werth hit a pair of home runs, with the first bouncing off the brick ivy-covered wall in center field. Chase Utley got the scoring started in the third inning with a two-run shot off of Diamondbacks starter Dan Haren.

Phillies & Eagles support our troops

by Tamara Kells

In July, I ran a story about Ricky Alvaro, a reader’s son. He had been deployed to Iraq, & is in a mobile unit. Conditions there are Spartan, at best. The article was about homeschoolers coming together to send care packages. However, that was just a small piece of the story.

When Rick’s mom asked him what he wanted friends & family to send, his request was both unusual & touching. Rather than the normal request for creature comforts, his greatest wish was DVDs of his beloved Philadelphia Phillies. That, & his glove & ball.

Atlanta Braves Take Game Two In Must Win Series Against Phillies

by Kevin Markum

The Braves are playing great baseball, there is no doubts of that. Had they have played this well all season, the Braves would easily be in first place in the tough NL East division race.

However, entering Saturday night's game, the Braves had fallen six games out of first place. While the Braves have been playing at a high level lately, it's going to take playing at a very high level to gain ground on the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies.

Omar Infante can give the Braves that chance. Not to bad for a utility man huh?

Infante was the hero tonight in a must win game against the Phillies. His bases loaded single off of the devastating Brad Lidge in the bottom of the ninth inning was a game winning shot. Welcome back Omar Infante.

Florida Marlins aware stakes high in series against Philadelphia Phillies

By JOE CAPOZZI

After getting swept by the last-place Nationals on Thursday, the Marlins didn't need a reminder about what's at stake tonight when they open a three-game series against the Phillies.

The Marlins are seven games behind the Phillies in the division and five back in the wild-card race.

"If there's a time to respond and bounce back, it's right now because we can walk out of Philadelphia 10 games out of the race and that's not where we want to be," catcher John Baker said. "It's a very important series for us and it comes at the right time to lock us back in."

Phillies Fans: Always Faithful

by Schmitters

Yesterday, I went to the Red Sox-Orioles game in Baltimore. It was my first time going to Camden Yards, and I had a fun time.

I didn’t go because I’m a Red Sox fan or an Orioles fan. I went because I have a goal to visit every Major League Baseball stadium. It will be a fun goal to reach.

But I noticed a few things at the game.

1. The Orioles don’t have a very large fan base.
2. There were more Red Sox fans than Orioles fans.
3. Red Sox fans are loud.

Phillies have unusual cushion in NL East

By Alden Gonzalez

The Phillies came into the second game of a four-game series against the Marlins at Land Shark Stadium on Friday with a level of easiness they haven't felt the last couple of years.

In winning back-to-back National League East crowns, Philadelphia has been in tight races and needed to get hot -- smoking hot -- in the last couple of months of the regular season to pull off an automatic trip to the postseason.

First Half Report Card: Outfielders

by Kevin McGuire

On the final day of the break for the Phillies, we finish up by assessing the outfielders. Things have been pretty stable in the outfield as the Phillies sent their entire starting outfield to St. Louis for the all star game. The backups are not bad either.

Raul Ibanez, Left Field
.309 AVG, 80 H, 22 HR, 60 RBI

When Pat Burrell left the Phillies the fan support was so overwhelming for the long-time Phillie that the addition of Raul Ibanez was initially met with mediocre response. Some fans wanted the Phillies to make a push for Manny Ramirez if they were not going to bring back Burrell.

Phillies reportedly ink PedrPhillies reportedly ink Pedro Martinez to one-year dealo Martinez to one-year deal

The defending champion Philadelphia Phillies have reportedly signed veteran right-hander Pedro Martinez.

Baseball sources told MLB.com that the one-year pact is worth about $1 million, plus another $1.5 million in incentives. A news conference in Philadelphia is scheduled for Wednesday. The eight-time All-Star will need to make at least a few starts in the minors before joining Philadelphia's depleted rotation. He was 5-6 with a 5.61 earned-run average for the New York Mets last year and pitched in the World Baseball Classic before this season.

After pitching twice in front of Phillies brass last week, Martinez underwent, and reportedly passed, a physical on Tuesday.

Count Commissioner Bud Selig among those who didn't think it was fair the Dodgers' Manny Ramirez was able to play in the minor leagues while serving a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug policy.
