Game 52: Phillies (26-25) at Mets (28-22)

Hi everybody,

Here is the score of tonight's game:

Philadelphia Phillies:         10
New York Mets:                   6

WP:   Antonio Bastardo (2-1)

Jimmy Rollins gets three RBIs (11)
Shane Victorino gets three RBIs (27)
Carlos Ruiz gets two RBIs (31)
Ty Wigginton gets two RBIs (24)

Jimmy Rollins gets a Home Run (2)
Ty Wigginton gets a Home Run (5)
Carlos Ruiz gets a Home Run (8)


Great come from behind win for the Phils to end the road trip with a 5-2 record.  The Phils also gained a game in the NL East standings and are now only 3 games out of first place.  Jimmy Rollins had a huge game with three hits, three RBIs and a Home Run.  Carlos Ruiz also came through with a pinch hit Home Run to tie the game in the top of the 7th.  Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton also got some key hits and RBIs.  Unfortunately Cliff Lee once again did not get the win even though he pitched well enough to earn it.  The Phils enjoy an day off before a weekend series at home against the Miami Marlins.  Go Phils!!!

Chase Utley Photo of the Week (5-30-12)

Hi everybody,

Time for another great Chase picture.  In this one he's standing in the dugout but ready to go which is what I'm hoping to see soon.  I can't wait until he goes to Clearwater so he can start playing again.  It's been way too long!!

Game 51: Phillies (26-24) at Mets (27-22)

Hi everybody,

Here is the score of tonight's game:

Philadelphia Phillies:         3
New York Mets:                  6

LP:   Joe Blanton (4-5)

Brian Schneider gets an RBI (5)

Brian Schneider gets a Home Run (2)


Tough loss for the Phils.  Joe Blanton pitched his third straight bad game. With Roy Halladay out of action for 6-8 weeks, Blanton and the other starting pitchers need to play better and pickup the slack.  As for tonight's game, Brian Schneider got the Phils only RBI with his second Home Run of the season.  The other two runs were due to a wild pitch and fielding error.  Cliff Lee goes for the series win and his first win of the season tomorrow night. Go Phils!!!

Game 50: Phillies (25-24) at Mets (27-21)

Hi everybody,

Here is the score of today's game:

Philadelphia Phillies:         8
New York Mets:                  4

WP:   Cole Hamels (8-1)

Ty Wigginton gets six RBIs (22)

Good win by the Phils!  It was a fun game to watch.  Cole Hamels won his eighth straight game.  Ty Wigginton was the big hero with a career high six RBIs and his fourth Home Run of the season.  John Mayberry Jr. also hit his second Home Run of the year.  The Phils will go for their second straight win tomorrow night against the Mets with Joe Blanton on the mound.  Hopefully we'll also have some good news about Roy Halladay and Carlos Ruiz.  Go Phils!!!

Game 49: Phillies (25-23) at Cardinals (25-22)

Hi everybody,

Here is the score of yesterday's game:

Philadelphia Phillies:          3
St. Louis Cardinals:             8

LP:   Roy Halladay (4-5)

Juan Pierre gets two RBIs (11)
Shane Victorino gets an RBI (24)


Sorry about the late updates this weekend.  The Phils lost the final game of the four game series against the Cardinals but the big story is Roy Halladay leaving the game with a sore shoulder.  He is going to have it looked at tomorrow and hopefully it isn't bad.  The last thing the Phils need is another injury.  Let's just hope he isn't out too long.  Cole Hamels pitches today against the New York Mets.  Let's get another winning streak going.  Go Phils!!!
