Many fans thought that the 2012 season would be one to remember, that it would be a marker of Phillies success, instead they received the opposite. The 2012 season was not what Philly fans were expecting, and many would say it was a disaster. Many blamed the outcome of the 2012 season on manager Charlie Manuel, […]

Ruben Amaro Jr. is entering his 5th year in this coming season as Phillies general manager. Most would say that he has been a great contribution to the team, and is very wise when making deals with other teams. But others might say that he has been a dead weight to the Phillies and should be […]

The Philadelphia Phillies have just made a trade with the Texas Rangers, aquiring All-Star 3rd baseman Michael Young. In exchange, the Rangers are receiving righties Josh Lindblom and Lisalverto Bonilla. There have been rumored deals between the two teams for a couple of days, but Young first had to waive his no-trade clause to allow […]

The Philadelphia Phillies have not made any major trades so far this off-season, but Ruben Amaro Jr. has done well in showing much interest in several players, some being total superstars, while others are under the radar.

Ever since Charlie Manuel replaced Philadelphia Phillies legend Larry Bowa as manager of the team in 2005, his teams have seen nothing but success: including this disastrous 2012 campaign—which won’t result in a playoff berth—this team has won five NL East division titles in only eight seasons.

The Phillies are 36-45 and 11 games behind the Washington Nationals in the NL East. Who’s to blame? Is it head coach Charlie Manuel, who recently celebrated his 900th win as a MLB manager? Is it General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr.? Is it both? It’s a tough and polarizing question. Manuel has been the Phillies […]

A classic pitching matchup between the leagues 2 best leftys, fell apart by the relievers, especially for the Phills. Bastardo recorded just 1 out, then surrendered after Carlos Pena hit a 3 run homerun. He fell apart from the beginning, allowing 2 walks, then a homer by Pena. Both starting pitchers were simply amazing. Hamels pitches […]

The 2012 MLB season is about 1/3 done and the Philadelphia Phillies are in last place in the National League East. The Phillies are now 30-34, 9.5 games behind Washington, and 2-8 in their last ten games. The injuries this year have obviously not helped the Phillies with Ryan Howard, Roy Halladay and Chase Utley still […]

Manuel did not mince words when asked why he put in Jonathan Papelbon in the 8th inning with the bases loaded. He simply said, “I wanted to win”. Papelbon has not completed a five out save in almost 3 and a 1/2 years. Manuel was very reluctant in bringing in Papelbon in a very similar […]

Who would’ve thought that by the end of May, Carlos Ruiz would be Philadelphia’s hottest hitter, Cliff Lee would be winless, and Ty Wigginton had started dozens of more games than Ryan Howard at first base? Not me. Ruiz, who just suffered a minor hamstring injury, has a 1.010 OPS which is ranked sixth in baseball. […]
