By Dan Levy In four games, the combination of Burrell, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth combined for 10 RBI, seven runs, four of the five home runs and eleven extra-base hits.

By Corey Seidman The Phillies and Dodgers split the eight games they played this year, all of which involved Manny Ramirez.

By Rox Girl The outcome of this game was supposed to revolve around which potent lineup feasted most off of which untested rookie. It didn't disappoint. Troy Tulowitzki and Matt Holliday started things with a bang and back to back homers in the top of the first. Franklin Morales was hit hard by Jimmy Roll...

By Rox Girl So with that backdrop, a tone had to be set that destiny wasn't quite finished with the Rockies. The one to set that tone would be Francis. For the first three pitches, it looked like the Rockies might be in for a replay of the misery of Jeff's previous starts against the Phillies. Three fastball...

By Jason Cohen I dunno - I think I’m just as scarred by Doug Jones, Heathcliff Slocumb, Wayne Gomes, Ricky Bottalico, Jose Mesa, Tom Gordon and Billy Wagner (best of the bunch, but he played a big role in keeping the Phillies out of the ‘04 playoffs as surely as he did for New York last year). Last year the Phil...

By Corey Seidman The Phillies can’t seem to lose anymore. Ryan Madson, who has stepped up the same way Tom Gordon did in 2007, worked out of a bases loaded, no-out jam in Florida several nights ago, and tonight Seanez and Scott Eyre did the job to hold off the Braves eighth inning threat.

Even after last night’s loss, the Mets have beaten the Phillies 10 of 16 this year. And the Mets are still in first by two games. In fact, if you take away the Met-Phillie games this year, the Phillies would be in first by two games. So one could say the Mets are in first by virtue of their head-to-he...

By Corey Seidman Down 7-0 in the fourth inning and facing a rolling Pedro Martinez, the Phils appeared dead in the water. But two innings, one sac fly (Pedro Feliz), and two two-run homers (Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard) later, the Phils had cut the deficit to 7-5.

Headley flies out to left. 1 0 1 0 8:27 — Working quick, Hamels already has two out. 1 0 8:12 — Jimmy Rollins is already at third base. Slow down, tiger.
