Cliff Lee’s base-running blunder in the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday could have cost the Phillies the game. It didn’t. And Erik Kratz and Freddy Galvis got Lee off the hook by bashing back-to-back home runs off of Aroldis Champman to propel the Phils to a series victory. [watch video of Lee’s base-running…

WHAT THE!?! Kratz and Galvis CRUSH Back to Back Jacks to Walk Off Winners
May 19, 2013, 4:57 PM EDT
Holy crap. That was one of the more improbable endings to a Phillies game we’ve ever seen. After Delmon Young worked a leadoff walk in the bottom of the ninth off of Aroldis Chapman, Charlie Manuel decided to use Cliff Lee as a pinch runner. That didn’t work out real well. Cliff Lee got picked…

Saturday was ugly down at Citizens Bank Park. Even the typically quiet-tweeting Jim Salisbury felt the need to point out what a savage pummeling the Phillies were receiving. But today is Sunday and a win in the rubber match eases the pain of yesterday. This has turned into a savage pummeling — Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyCSN)…

Philadelphia Union scoring machine Jack McInerney found the back of the net yet again on Saturday at PPL Park in the team’s victory over the Chicago Fire. Jack Mac got the U on the board in just the third minute of play on a nice cross from Sebastien Le Toux which McInerney did a nifty…

Phillies in the late afternoon on FOX: Arroyo vs. Kendrick
May 18, 2013, 3:14 PM EDT
Staff ace Kyle Kendrick (4-1, 2.47) takes on Reds right-hander Bronson Arroyo (3-4, 3.76) this afternoon in a 4:05 start time with the game getting the national FOX treatment.

Fans expected the unexpected when Chip Kelly became head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and Chipper is already delivering. TE Clay Harbor’s future with this team became a bit cloudy once the they signed James Casey a few weeks ago, so it’s not overly surprising that the team has tinkered with him at a new…

It’s a well-established rule in baseball, but one Phillies fans may have taken for granted. You have to go back almost a full month to April 21 to find the last time they cleared the fence with runners on base – until Friday. If you click here, there is video proof of Jimmy Rollins almost…

Phils Beat Reds 5-3 on Comically Weak Eighth-Inning Offensive Explosion
May 17, 2013, 10:27 PM EDT
These are the type of wins that seem like they usually only ever happen against you, so you take them for the home team when you can. The Phils probably shoulda won this one easy, staking Cliff Lee to a 3-0 lead in the first five innings (partly Cliff’s own doing, more on that in…

Earlier this week the Indians came to town riding a hot streak, having already run roughshod over the Phillies once this season. This time it’s the Reds showing up at Citizens Bank Park while on a tear – winners of six straight and 10 of their last 12 – and having already pounded the Phillies.…

Videos: New Temple Owl Jaylen Bond Throws Down over Kids at Plymouth Whitemarsh
May 17, 2013, 4:15 PM EDT
Some college basketball news here heading into the weekend: Plymouth Whitemarsh product Jaylen Bond tweeted Friday that he’ll be transferring to Temple. The 6-foot-7 forward spent two years at Texas but was granted his release back in March after he didn’t get the kind of run he wanted in head coach Rick Barnes’ rotation. For…

The Reds Are Winning with the Help of Walks Just Like the Phillies Used To
May 17, 2013, 3:35 PM EDT
You don’t have to look hard to find the Reds’ warts. Their .251 batting average ranks 17th in the majors, just 2 points better than the Cubs. And this is for a team that doesn’t do much mashing. Their .394 slugging percentage this year, good for 20th in the game, is less than good, and…

J-Roll Says Potential Trade Deadline Blow Up Is a Reality While Ruben Downplays It
May 17, 2013, 2:38 PM EDT
Things have been quiet on the South Philadelphia front. The Phillies had a rare two off-day week and have mostly been kissing babies (and puppies) the past few days. But while the chatter on the wires has been minimal there was an interesting story from Todd Zolecki over at MLB.com where he caught up with…
