Phillies Still Have Potential for a Dynasty

By Joe Vallee at 12:07 am on Thursday February 25, 2010

According to Wikipedia, one characteristic of a dynasty is a team "with multiple championships over a limited period of time, either consecutively with or without interruption." So you're probably wondering where the 2010 Philadelphia Phillies  fit into this conversation.

Phillies moving on without Pedro Feliz

By Joe Vallee at 8:59 pm on Sunday November 8, 2009

Pedro Feliz solidified what was arguably the best infield in baseball when the Philadelphia Phillies signed him in the Winter of 2008. His offense and defense blew away the production of the Phillies' previous third base occupants Wes Helms and Abraham Nunez. On Sunday, the Phillies announced they were declining the $5.5 million option year on Feliz for 2010, thus "unofficially" officially ending his career in Philadelphia.

World Series Preview Game 6: Do or Die for the Phillies vs.Yankees

By Joe Vallee at 6:14 am on Wednesday November 4, 2009

The last time the Phillies were in Game 6 of the World Series, Joe Carter's three-run homer sent the Phillies home. As far as the Yankees' last World Series Game 6, it was 2003 against the Marlins. Andy Pettitte pitched that game-and lost. If Pettitte loses tonight's Game 6, the Phillies will have tied the series 3-3, and will go on to the first Game 7 in their long history tomorrow night. If Pettitte wins, the Phillies go home, and all this nonsense about him pitching on three days rest goes out the window.

Phillies can't solve Burnett as Yankees even World Series in Game Two

Game Two of World Series games are not Jayson Werth's specialty.

Phillies return to the World Series in Game Five victory over Dodgers

By Jesse Lorenz at 6:12 am on Thursday October 22, 2009

This city has been getting ready to boil over since Jimmy Rollins found the gap in the ninth inning Monday night, and Wednesday couldn't come fast enough. The weather tonight was a gift this late in October, and the fans and the Phillies were ready to play. With this the 29th Anniversary of the Phillies first World Championship, it was in the air- tonight was their night.  To start the game, the Dodgers capitalized on Hamels getting rattled on a potential called third strike call to take a one run lead on Andre Ethier's homer.

Phillies on the verge of something special

By Jesse Lorenz at 6:36 am on Wednesday October 21, 2009

The Phillies postseason run in 2009 has been anything but predictable. In the Division Series, they beat a heretofore dominant Houston Street not once, but twice in back to back games. The latter in spectacular fashion with a two-out, three run rally in the 9th inning. And with Ryan “get me to the plate” Howard picking up this team and placing it on his back, the Philadelphia Phillies are seriously charging towards something special.

Phillies pull off miracle win against Dodgers. One win from World Series

Phillies Take Game One of NLCS Against Dodgers

By Joe Vallee at 2:02 am on Friday October 16, 2009

I am running out of adjectives to describe this Phillies team.  To say the last three games have been extremely gut wrenching is a vast understatement at best.  It wasn't pretty, but it was memorable. And at the end of the day, the Phils have a 1-0 lead on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2009 NLCS. Because it's two o'clock in the morning, and I have to leave early for a wedding in Maryland tomorrow, I am quickly recapping my keys to beating the Dodgers from the other day to see how accurate I really was.  Don't worry, I'll only include the important things:

Phillies-Rockies NLDS Playoff Preview: The Rematch

By Dennis Bakay at 5:21 am on Wednesday October 7, 2009

This NLDS playoff matchup features a rematch between the Phillies and Rockies, who faced off in the 2007 NLDS. It was the Phillies' first playoff appearance since their fabled run in 1993, and it ended quicker than Mike Jackson's second go-around with the Phillies. In terms of raw stats, both teams are evenly matched on offense, defense, and pitching. The Phillies were 8th in the majors with a team ERA of 4.16 and the Rockies were 10th with a 4.22. Opponents batted .265 against the Fightins and .261 against the Rockies. They were both pretty even in strikeouts.
