Phillies Coaching Staff Needs to Bear Responsibility for Offensive Slide

via Balls, Sticks, & Stuff | Phillies, Eagles, golf and other matters of great importance...,Jul, 21 2010 By Doc

There's no doubting the Phillies have been beset with injuries. On the offensive side, Chase Utley is out, Placido Polanco is out. We get that. But at this point in time, but they aren't the only people on the team that can hit. Jimmy Rollins is back and there's Shane more...

Even When It's Not Kyle Kendrick's Fault, It's Kyle Kendrick's Fault

The boxscore and gamelog from last night's Phillies game in Cincinnati against the Reds will read that in the 6th inning, Kyle Kendrick was charged with an unearned run. Six total runs for the night on Kendrick's tab, but again, there was the unearned run. The error came more...

Congratulations to Graeme McDowell [@Graeme_McDowell to those of you on the Twitters] for winning the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach on Sunday evening. McDowell is probably a mystery man to most, but if you listened to his articulate, gracious, and wry remarks during the more...

An Ode to Doc Halladay by Some Female Canadian Singer/Songwriter Type

via Balls, Sticks, & Stuff | Phillies, Eagles, golf and other matters of great importance...,Jul, 21 2010 By Doc

As Philadelphia sports fans, we've experienced enough anguish over the years that you can definitely sympathize with this woman. As a matter of fact, based upon her melodic case, you almost want to send Roy Halladay back to Toronto. Almost. But definitely not. He's all more...

From the Offense to the Defense to the Weather, THAT is Phillies Baseball

via Balls, Sticks, & Stuff | Phillies, Eagles, golf and other matters of great importance...,Jul, 21 2010 By Doc

It certainly seems as if the Fightins have climbed out of their month-long malaise. They've won 4 of their last 5 at the expense of top-tier teams like the Red Sox, Yankees and Twins. Last night's 9-5 win over the Twins was powered by Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. Howard more...

Amaro: "Davy Lopes is not a doctor

Earlier today, the interwebs, this site included, were a-flutter over the news that Chase Utley was injured. Ah-ha! An explanation for his slump! However, in a phone call with CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury, Phillies GM Ruben Amaro dispelled the notion that Utley is hurt more...

Utley Hurting, Jinxed, or Both

What an impossible game baseball is to figure out. Heading into the Phillies/Yankees series, I told a Yankees fan that I thought the Phillies would win the first game with Roy Halladay on the bump, but then lose the next two with the patient Yankees hitters dismantling more...

Starting to Get Kinda Nervous

via Balls, Sticks, & Stuff | Phillies, Eagles, golf and other matters of great importance...,Jul, 21 2010 By Doc

Baseball is a long season. A loooong season. It starts with few leaves on the trees and ends with few leaves on the trees. In between, there are a lot of ups and downs. For that reason, I've always been one to preach the words of a British World War more...

Poll: What Ails the Phillies

For a couple of years now, I've religiously watched Phillies games on television and if not, then I've listened to the Franzke and L.A. Show on the radio. It hasn't been easy given that The Missus usually has a different agenda for the television [the downside of digital more...

What a ride, fun while it lasted, right? I'm relatively new to hockey. Didn't get exposed to it much as a kid, and now as an adult, I'm being exposed to it by a friend who is probably best described as a "hockey pusher" [who I hope will write something more...

Maybe, just maybe, the Phillies have bottomed out from their malaise at the plate and are finally on their way back up -- they scored 10 runs last night against the Marlins. Ryan Howard went 2-4 including a two-run homer, Chase Utley went 2-3 and scored three times, and more...

Charlie Gets Tossed in the Loss... Can You Blame Him

According to Chris Wheeler, Charlie was steamed before the first pitch was even thrown today, and can you blame him? The Phillies haven't hit for weeks now, only scoring runs in trash time or as a result of errors by the opposing defense. The theme continued today and the more...
