Don’t misinterpret this headline – no judgment is being passed on Roy Oswalt’s ability after one late July start. I mean, it’s not as if Roy Number Two a) pitched well in his debut Friday, b) hit his spots, or c) threw effective breaking pitches, but the mediocre first impression he left is not indicative [...]

All good things come to an end.  The Phillies’ eight game winning streak came to a halt as the Phillies fell 8-1 to the Washington Nationals.  The loss came on a night where Roy Oswalt made his anticipated Phillies debut, but could not live up to the expectations. The loss was Oswalt’s 13th of the season, [...]

Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins kept quiet Friday before Charlie Manuel announced the Phillies' lineup at Nationals Park.

I project Comcast SportsNet’s scouting report to look like this tonight: Exceptional command, strikeout stuff 92-94 mph fastball, low-70s curve Workhorse!!! While CSN has mercifully gotten away from the third-line exclamation points in recent weeks, their scouting reports leave a bit to be desired. So, without further ado, let’s get to know Roy Oswalt on the field and off… Holmes [...]

On the back of today’s Philadelphia Daily News read the teaser: “Oswalt is Phils’ Admission That Trading Lee Was A Mistake”. The article that lied therein was written by Paul Hagen who, while I guess still technically a beat writer covering the Phils, has been paid for years to report on the most mundane [...]

Roy Oswalt is a Phillie. I don’t know if you’ve heard. The rumor about Jose Bautista coming to Philly, however, is pretty much dead. As cool as it would be to see the major league’s only 30-home-run-hitter relegated to bench duty in mid-September, the player the Blue Jays wanted was Anthony Gose, whom they acquired from [...]

Know where the Phillies were on July 29, 2007? They were in second place at 55-49, sitting 3.5 behind the Mets. They beat the Pirates 5-1 that day. Jimmy Rollins went 3-for-4 out of the three-hole and Kyle Kendrick went 7-6-1-1-4. Two days prior, the Phils traded Rich Dubee’s son, Michael, for a stop-gap solution at second base [...]

Ruben Amaro, Jr. and Ed Wade completed a deal to send Roy Oswalt to the Phillies in exchange for J.A. Happ and prospects, outfielder Anthony Gose and shortstop Jonathan Villar. Houston will pick up $11 million of the approximately $23 million that Oswalt is guaranteed through 2011. Oswalt did not demand that the [...]

Phillies left-hander Jamie Moyer is an optimist, but he acknowledged Thursday his chances of pitching again in 2010 are almost zero.

What the Phils would be sending back is currently unknown, but talks seem to be progressing rapidly and more details could be available shortly overnight. The deal is dependent [...]

A crowded dugout hanging on his every word. A standing ovation. A smash off the wall in right field. A run scored. A few hits. All in a days work for newcomer Domonic Brown as he wowed the crowd with his foot speed and bat speed. Brown electrified the crowd, and the team, as [...]

-Big news coming minutes ago from Jim Salisbury on twitter. Sully says Shane Victorino is headed to the DL and that Domonic Brown will be called up to take his place.  I’ve just received word from the Phillies that this is indeed the case, so make way for Domonic Brown. He’ll take Victorino’s spot on [...]

Poor Cole.  He throws gems for three straight outings and leaves with one win.  Tonight, against one of the worst teams in baseball, he’s struggles, yet, was in line for a win. Hamels wouldn’t receive a decision, but some power baseball by the Phillies sent them to a 9-5 win – their 6th straight. It wouldn’t [...]
