Phils may have only split the Mets series, but one thing that stands out though is Jimmy Rollins' Lazarus Act, as he has risen from the dead. Over the past 3 games J-Roll has gone 9-11 (.818) with 3 runs, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 1 homerun, 5 rbi, 3 walks, 5 stolen bases, and has raised his OPS 41   more...

Why bother even discussing last night's loss. The Phils are inferior when it comes to playing good teams, and the Dodgers are technically classified as good now. I'd rather compare new situational lefty Scott Eyre to St. Ides Malt Liquor.For the full article that includes an Olympic shout out to   more...

As you've noticed over the last 10 days, our site has turned into a mini-Olympics parlor. We certainly don't view ourselves as huge Olympics fans, but we've enjoyed our share of programming. We've concluded it's partly due to the summer games coming at the perfect   more...

When the 2008 baseball season officially ends for the Phillies, the first thing on a lot of minds around the tri-state area will be: Who is the new General Manager going to be? Trust me, it won't be all that hard. It's a two horse race. Mike Arbuckle and Ruben Amaro, Jr. Both are assistants to the   more...

August 31st is an important date for contending MLB teams, because that's the date that determines eligibility for post-season rosters. To be eligible to play in the MLB post-season, a player must be on the club's 25-man roster or 15-day or 60-day DL as of 8/31. However, any player   more...

Despite a sputtering offense, the Phillies remained in first place this week, two games up on New York Mets. The Phils' offense continues to look lost, and at one point this week went 23 innings without scoring a run, despite facing less than stellar opposing pitching.The Phillies lost two games to   more...

This afternoon, the Chicago Cubs designated relief pitcher Scott Eyre for assignment. Eyre struggled this season going 2-0 with a 7.15 ERA in 19 relief appearances.

The Phillies did what they do best yesterday. They added a scrap-heap, spare-part and will now hope that Scott Eyre performs "to the way we (the Phillies) think he can." Yesterday on the Mike Gill Show, I spoke to Phillies assistant GM Mike Arbuckle. He mentioned the word "risk" and I was almost   more...

I guess it only took one appearance by Les Walrond and J.A. Happ out of the bullpen for the front office to realize they need another left-handed reliever. Today Scott Eyre is a Phillie.The newest Phillie has struggled this season with the Cubs this season going 2-0 with a 7.15 ERA (although all   more...
