The Philadelphia Phillies are one game under .500 as I write this sentence here in mid-May. Chances are, the Phillies will hover around this mark all the way through the regular season’s conclusion in the first week of October. Since coming out of their “rebuild” in 2017, the Phillies have a record of 211-218 over […]
The annual Baseball Hall of Fame voting has recently taken place and the once-exciting tradition of electing a player into the pantheon of baseball immortality has become a drag. Instead of celebration it just sparks repetitive debates about the voting process, off-field character issues for nominees, and whether or not steroid users should be elected […]
Last offseason, John Middleton made headlines with his “stupid money” comment. That “stupid money” netted the Phillies Bryce Harper. Could one of Harper’s former team-mates be next? According to USA Todays Bob Nightengale, “the Philadelphia Phillies, luxury tax be damned, plan to strongly pursue free-agent third baseman Anthony Rendon, two people with direct knowledge told […]
Last season started with hope and belief for the young Phillies rotation. But, that hope and belief quickly turned just as the Phillies record and season turned.

The 2009 World Series is still fresh in the minds of Phillies fans. A World Series that the Phillies were favorites to win and repeat their 2008 title.

Average, mediocre, ordinary, indifferent, however you want to describe it, the Philadelphia Phillies have been just that over the past two seasons. However, could changes to the Philadelphia […]
The 2019 Philadelphia Phillies season is officially over. A season of disappointment and frustration has finally come to a merciful end. At times like this, most people like to look back on the season and try to figure out what went wrong. I have decided to look ahead and try and figure out what the […]
Cutch got caught in a run down Monday night against the Padres and he grabbed his knee after being tagged out. The video is weird. He may have twisted it at the end or when he turned around. The non-contact ones are always the worst. Today, the worst-case scenario for the Phillies occurred when they […]
I remember in 6th grade they brought all the schools that fed into our high school together for a field day or some dumb shit and they said “Hellloooo Class of 2016!!!!” Eleven-year-old me laughed at the thought of the year 2016 even existing. It was 2010. Silly Bandz were all the rage. Ke$ha was […]
For all 17 of you that made it through the (freezing) April showers at the Phillies game Friday night, you saw another fantastic Bryce Harper moment.
