Phillies Focus Energy On Their Needs At 3rd Base and Pen.

- November 11th, 2009
As the long offseason process begins in Philadelphia many questions will surround the team in the months to come, drawing a lot of attention from the Philadelphia faithful. Most of those questions surround Pedro Martinez and Pedro Feliz. It was pretty clear this season that Feliz was probably going to be the odd man out, and it has finally come to fruition with the Phils declining Feliz’s 5.5 million dollar option with no prospect of trade in sight. The good news for the Phillies is there are more third basemen available than there is a demand for them making the club’s options wide open. Players such as Chone Figgins, Adrian Beltre, Mark DeRosa, and Placido Polanco lead the way in the overstock at the very crucial third base position; some very intriguing prospects indeed. But...
Phillies Take A Bite Out Of Big Apple In 6-1 Win

Through an almost angelic cascade of a fine mist descending upon Yankee Stadium, the Philadelphia Phillies strike first blood in a 6-1 win.
In a night that was regarded as a huge showdown of old lefty teammates, Cliff lee and C.C.
Sabathia, the Phillies overcame a powerful Yankee hitting squad with a lights out, 10 strikeout performance by Cliff Lee.
But it wasn’t only the pitching that was the highlight here.
Anyone remember the two bad throws Chase Utley had in the NLCS? Yeah, me either thanks in part to Utley’s performance that single handedly beat the Bronx Bombers.
Utley becomes the first person to have a multiple HR game in a World Series since Ryan Howard, and if that isn’t any inclination of things to come then I don’t know what is.
Now,...
Phillies and Lee Set To Face Evil Empire!

The two most dominant southpaw pitchers in the playoffs, will take their anemic ERAs into Game One of the 2009 World Series in an attempt to calm the high powered offenses that have simply ruled with heavy hand—or in this case bat—in this year’s postseason.
Both the Yankees and Phillies have literally inundated their competition with unstoppable torrents of homeruns and hits, mirroring their regular season output; the very output that got them here in the first place.
But for the Phillies, it will be up to last year’s Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee to stop the Bronx Bombers from continuing on their frenzied offensive spree.
No problem right?
The matchup for Lee vs.
the Yanks shows itself to be a favorable one with Lee going 2-1 with a 1.89 ERA in...
Nail Biter In Philadelphia As Rockies Win Game Two!

After an exhilarating Game One performance, the Rockies inch past the Phillies in a 5-4 win and show that they are not gonna go quietly. Hamels never made it out of the 5th inning and it was Aaron Cook taking an early control of the game while the potent Rockies’ offense that led them to the playoffs jumped out to a 4-0 lead and never truly let go of. The Phillies now travel to Colorado into the lion’s den to face the Rockies in a pivotal Game 3 that will undoubtedly set the tone for the rest of the series. The game was not, however, without its highlights as the Phillies nearly pulled the comeback win, but the formidable Huston Street (substituted in place of Franklin Morales at the last...

Phillies Clinch 3rd Division Title: Now What?
- By rayt
- October 27th, 2009
For the third straight year in a row, the Philadelphia Phillies have cemented their postseason berth in commanding fashion dealing the Houston Astros the 10-3 loss. Kyle Kendrick—of all people—was the man on the mound who came in at the top of the fifth in relief of Martinez, and just simply shut the Astros down, one by one. But as happy and nice as this sounds the Phils will have to get back to work trying to decide what in the blue hell they are going to do about their bullpen, and the myriad of injuries to the pitching staff. Moyer is out for the year after tearing his groin, Chan Ho Park is still dealing with his hamstring, and J.C. Romero will not be an every night guy due to...
