I’ve gotten several texts and emails wondering about Jayson Werth sitting out today’s game against the Colorado Rockies. With all the trade rumors flying lately, it wouldn’t be too difficult to connect the dots between the trade talk and him not playing today.
But, Jon Paul Morosi of Foxsports.com says not to be alarmed, it [...]
It’s funny how all the “they have to re-sign Werth!” chants have faded. After a stellar 2009 season with 36 bombs and 99 RBI’s, Werth has been just ok this year. He was off to a hot start and the entire city of Philadelphia was screaming for the team to not let him [...]
This is good news for Phillies fans. For a while, there was concerned that an NL team like the Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets or Los Angeles Dodgers would acquire Cliff Lee from the Seattle Mariners. That isn’t happening now.
Lee was just traded to the Texas Rangers according to multiple media outlets.
In return, [...]
When everything is said and done, the infamous Cliff Lee trade will go down as one of the worst trades in the history of the Phillies.
The trade can be broken down into two ugly halves.

A league source tells YES Network’s Jack Curry that the Philadelphia Phillies “would love” to get starter Cliff Lee back. We know for a fact that Ruben Amaro wants another starting pitcher because he’s already talking to Pedro Martinez.

I know umpire, Jay Joyce might have missed the call in the final out of a near-perfect game but I don’t think MLB Commissioner Bud Selig shouldn’t step in and change the call.
I know you’ve heard about the incident by now but righthander Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers had a perfect game up until [...]
David Murphy has a great piece on Philly.com about how the Cliff Lee trade could end up being a big problem for the local baseball team. I’m sure your first thought is, “yeah, they shouldn’t have traded him. Phils could have been great for this year.” But, that’s not what he’s talking about.
Here’s the problem: [...]
Former Phillies ace Curt Schilling won’t be getting a birthday card from Phils’ GM Ruben Amaro Jr..¬† He took Amaro to task for trading Cliff Lee.
“I think trading Cliff Lee was the stupidest thing they’ve ever done, and they didn’t have to,” Schilling said. “They didn’t have to do it. It was a stupid, stupid [...]
There wasn’t a Phillies fan in town who wasn’t upset to see the Phils move Cliff Lee to the Mariners this past offseason.¬† Lee was just about everything Philly could have hoped for in a high-end starting pitcher.
But, it happened and it is what it is.¬† We’ll be forced to try to win another World [...]
