I can hear the reporters already: “Another bad April.”  It seems like every year, the Phillies start off slowly and struggle during the first month of the season.  Could 2013 be different?  The answer could be in […]

Reliever Chad Durbin will be returning to Philadelphia. According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN, the Phillies and Chad Durbin have agreed to $1.1 million contract .  The deal is one year, but includes an option for 2014.  The deal also could include a possible $350,000 in incentives. Durbin, a 35-year old reliever, pitched well with the Atlanta Braves [...]

Before the 2012 season even began, Phillies fans were worried about the 2012-2013 offseason.  Cole Hamels was due to enter free agency, which raised a lot of questions about the season.  Would be traded mid-season?  Would he be locked up?  Would he become a free agent and sign with our rivals?  Ruben Amaro Jr. addressed this [...]

The Tampa Bay Rays were in town on June 23 for an interleague series with the Phillies.  The ending to the game would go down as the arguably the most memorable finish to a Phillies game in 2012. The Phillies had a comfortable 6-4 lead heading into the top of the ninth inning.  With Jonathan Papelbon [...]

When first learning about Chase Utley’s knee injury, most Phillies fans didn’t seem overly concerned.  As days turned into weeks, more questions came up.  Why isn’t he playing? What’s wrong with his knees? Why aren’t they saying anything?  When is he going to come back? There was no more shrugging off the injury.  Phillies fans [...]

In late July, the Phillies found themselves significantly under the .500 mark.  Fans were starting to become uninterested as the team performed well under their expectations.  In general, it wasn’t a pleasant time for Phillies fans, as the Phillies eventually decided to become sellers at the trade deadline. But there was a series that brought hope: [...]

As John Mayberry Jr. raced toward the infield, a blooper dropped into shallow center field.  He immediately fired the baseball home while Chipper Jones rounded third.  The throw was a little up the line, but Erik  Kratz was able to make one of the top defensive plays of the year.  As soon as the ball [...]

Opening Day is one of the best days of the year.  Anticipation and excitement lead up to the first official game of the season.  A new year means new hopes, dreams, and memories. For the Phillies, their expectations were higher than ever.  They were coming off a year in which they had the most wins in [...]

On September 19, the Phillies were in the middle of a big series against the New York Mets.  They were four games out of the Wild Card, so the postseason was still within reach at the time. After Cole Hamels tossed a quality start and the bullpen pitched two stellar innings, the Phillies still found [...]

Kyle Kendrick certainly had an interesting season.  The 28-year-old spent the first half of the season alternating between the rotation and the bullpen.  Before his impressive run from August 14-September 10 (when his ERA was just 1.49), there was one start where Kendrick proved that he belonged in the rotation. Entering May 26, the Phillies [...]

For the first time in his career, Carlos Ruiz made the National League All Star team. Ruiz did not receive enough fan votes to start, although he deserved to.  The 33-year-old batted .350 with 13 home runs and a .995 OPS during the first half of the season. Ruiz headed to Kansas City for the All [...]

The calendar will soon turn to 2013, putting 2012 behind for good. The 2012 season was not one that Phillies fans will enjoy looking back on; the Phillies were plagued with injuries and finished with their worst record since 2002.  The Phillies had high expectations, but became sellers at the trade deadline and failed to [...]
