Cliff Lee and his devastating curveball reached double-digits in strikeouts for the sixth time this season in his Philadelphia Phillies’ 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night.

Lee dominated with 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, bouncing back from one of the crappiest starts of the year in which he surrendered seven runs and three walks in just over five innings against…

There are some relationships in life that I can’t explain (lamb and tuna fish) and some that make perfect sense (perhaps as you say spaghetti and meatball). The relationship between Charlie Sheen and former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies’ OF Lenny Dykstra makes perfect sense.

Dykstra, who was arrested last [...]

In his first game back with the Philadelphia Phillies in front of the 138th consecutive sellout at Citizen’s Bank Park, it was apparent how much Cliff Lee was missed.

The lefty fanned 11 batters in his team’s 9-4 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits behind a 14-hit Philadelphia barrage. He struck out three of the first[..]

Let’s just say these past two weeks won’t be the “Best of times” section in Domonic Brown‘s autobiography.

On Friday, I wrote about Brown’s recent struggles at the plate. At the time he was 0-for-15 with 9 whiffs. Now in a span of 24 hours, it’s gone from bad to worse for the Philadelphia Phillies’ OF. [...]

Over the past two or three seasons, Jimmy Rollins has not been the guy at the plate the Philadelphia Phillies need him to be.

Instead of playing small-ball and just trying to get on base, Rollins has been acting like he’s a power-hitter and swinging for the fences every time he picks up the bat.
This has become evident not only [...]

It wasn’t about winning a championship. Apparently, it wasn’t about winning anything. When Jayson Werth put his name on a contract from the Washington Nationals for seven years and $126 million ($18 million per season), it became painfully obvious what is important to Werth. Money. Money, money, and more money. Werth was out to make [...]

Roy Halladay pitched the second no-hitter in MLB postseason history today, as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. The only other pitcher to ever throw a no-hitter was former New York Yankees Don Larsen, who threw a perfect game in the 1956 World Series [...]

It’s become expected around Philadelphia over the past couple of seasons that the Phillies will win the NL East. Anything else is just not acceptable — to the team or the fans. But for Roy Halladay, it’s a brand new experience.

The pitcher that most consider the best in baseball will get his first opportunity to pitch in the postseason after pitching a two-hit shutout against the[...]

That Roy Halladay acquisition is looking better and better for the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies.

The right-hander won his 20th game of the season Tuesday with a 5-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves to give the Phillies a five-game division lead over Atlanta and reduce their magic number to six. Even more impressive is the fact that Halladay [...]

If there’s anyone like me who wasn’t a true fan of the move to bring in Roy Oswalt, you’re probably hoarse from screaming at your TV all night long. Oswalt was incredibly erratic in his Phillies debut as he and the team fell to the Washington Nationals 8-1. Of those eight runs, Oswalt allowed four [...]
