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.
