This is The Dip, a weekly column penned by our own commenter, The Dipsy. Agree or disagree with what he says? Tell us by visiting our contact page...


The Lehigh Valley IronPigs have three players headed to the All Star Game. Andrew Carpenter, Mike Cervenak and Andy Tracy were selected to represent the International League All Stars. Carpenter is 7-1 with a 2.75 earned run average in 14 games...


Jackie Vice go phillies!! not looking good at the moment but we will get better :O


After being benched for four straight games, Jimmy Rollins will be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Instead of giving Rollins a double-whammy by moving him down in the batting order, Rollins will return as the lead-off hitter...


Raul Ibanez will most likely be headed to his first All Star Game and Chase Utley will likely be headed to his fourth. With the All Star voting ending on Thursday, it appears that Ibanez and Utley will be playing in the mid-summer classic. Ibanez leads all outfielders with 2,970,139 votes...


For three years in a row he has been the top-ranked pitcher in the Phillies system. For three years he has given reason to believe that somewhere down the line the team would have a dynamic 1-2 punch in the rotation...


Tramaine Baynes It will help him out mentally so we can make a run 4 another World Series Title!!!!


Philadelphia Phillies (38-34) at Toronto Blue Jays (41-35) Jamie Moyer (5-6, 5.97 ERA)vs...

i hope the phillies are on the right track again..yahoooo the phillies won...


Antonio Bastardo will be unable to make his next start on Wednesday due to a strained shoulder. Cole Hamels will start Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies are expected to call up Carlos Carrasco from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and he will make his Major League debut on Thursday.


Ryan Mazurkiewicz This team should try spreading its runs out not score ten then score 1 the next day. Hell they could just score 10 everyday that'd be fine.


Cole Hamels was originally scheduled to pitch onSaturday, however he is being flip-flopped with J.A Happ. Hamels will now start on Friday. Hamels will havefour starts instead of three before the All Star Game...


Kyle Drabek and Yohan Flande will represent the Phillies in the Futures Game in St. Louis during the All Star Break. Drabek, the Phillies first round pick in 2006, will represent team USA. In Class A Clearwater, Drabek struck out 74 batters in 61.2 innings...


Brad Lidge was activated from the 15-day disabled list. Left handed relief pitcher Segio Escalona was sent down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.


Fran McGovern Here's my "glass-half-full" outlook to the Phils train wreck over the past few weeks. Perhaps this slide will compel Ruben Amaro to make some aggressive and significant pitching moves, before the trade deadline. Had the Phillies limped along with Bastardo, or any other minor leaguer they could dig up, the Phillies front office could have tried to make the argument that the pitching rotation is sound.


There must be something about those grayjerseys because theyare the only uniforms the Phillies are winning in. The Phillies offense exploded out ten runs in their victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Jamie Moyer received an early cushion with a six run first inning...


According to David Murphy (via Twitter), Brad Lidge threw a scoreless inning in Class A Clearwater. He did not allow a hit and walked one batter. Of the twelve pitches he threw, seven were strikes...


Philadelphia Phillies (36-31) at Tampa Bay Rays (37-34) Jamie Moyer (4-6, 6.35 ERA) vs. David Price (1-1, 3.46 ERA) Time: 7:08 p.m at Tropicana Field Weather: Dome TV:Comcast Sportsnet...


Jimmy Rollins has dropped to second placein the all star balloting behind Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez. Rollins trails by only 154,000 votes. Chase Utley is no longer the National League’s overall leader. Albert Pujols has the most votes with 2,934,794, edging Utley who has 2,922,796...


Ryan Howard has been diagnosed with acute sinusitis. He could return the lineup as early as Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Howard has been taking antibiotics and is improving. His 104-degreefever is gone and he will rest Monday at his home.


The Phillies finished their homestand 1-8, their worst homestand since August of2004 when they went 1-9. The Phillies have been struggling on all cylinders; pitching, hitting, and even defensively. Last season, the Phillies were having similar struggles at the same time. The Phillies crushed the St...

This is Phormula, a new Tuesday column written by Corey Seidman, a Phillies fan and lover of baseball statistics. He has written for MVN.com and the Hardball Times. Each week, Corey will investigate the Phillies through a statistical eye. Get in touch with Corey through our Contact Form...


Paul Hagen uncovered the secret behind the added velocity to Ryan Madson’s fastball: Tom Gordon. Sort of...


A quick recap of the minors from Monday: The Reading Phillies defeated Harrisburg, lifting Joe Savery to an 8-1 record. The former first-round pick walked three and struck out four in six innings of one-hit ball, lowering his ERA to 3.47. Michael Taylor is hitting .332 after a 1-for-3 game...


With his three-hit game yesterday, Pedro Feliz raised his batting average to .318, third among National League third basemen. His 35 RBI rates fifth in the league, while his .360 on-base percentage (58 points higher than 2008) is sixth...


Chase Utley has overtaken Albert Pujols for the overall lead in National League All-Star voting. And hot on their trail? Raul Ibanez. Ibanez has taken the lead in the outfield with 1,897,905 votes, good for third overall. He leads Ryan Braun by more than 200,000 votes...


This is Prospecting, a Monday column written by Ben Seal. Welcome Ben as he writes each week about the minor leagues. Get in touch with him via our contact form. There was a time not long ago when the Phillies farm system was incomplete...


Michael Davis There was a AWESOME clip of the Phanatic on the simpsons tonight


Scott Lauber reportes (via Twitter) the Phillies have sent Sergio Escalona to triple-A Lehigh Valley, bringing up reliever Tyler Walker. He’s gone 2-1 with a 1.40 ERA for the IronPigs this seaso


Before the rain, Antonio Bastardo and the Phillies spotted the Red Sox a 5-0 lead. That proved to be the difference in an 11-6 loss. Raul Ibanez socked his 22nd home run, and Pedro Feliz hit another in a fourth-inning rally, but poor pitching from the back end of the Phillies bullpen plagued them...


Boston Red Sox (38-24) at Philadelphia Phillies (35-25) Josh Beckett (7-2, 3.77 ERA) vs. JA Happ (4-0, 2.98 ERA) Time: 7:05 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia Weather: Mostly sunny, 76 TV: MyPhl 17...
Kyle at 4:21pm June 14
the only time I will mildly cheer on the yankees is when they play the mets, braves, or marlins. Love seeing the mets get destroyed. And Bruney (pitcher for yanks) call out K-Rod as a "tired act" for his chest beating and roaring after a save. They almost got into a fight pre game. Youtube bruney k-rod to see it


Brandon at 5:11pm June 14
It's about TIME WE WON AT HOME! JEEZ! Great win though and SWEET Mets losing BIG. They are a JOKE!


Kelly Dugan, the newest member of the Philadelphia Phillie stable, is thrilled to be part of the championship franchise. “We’re ecstatic...


Phillies Nation will makes its television debut tonight. New Yorkers: Watch KFC Pre Game Live (Mets Pre Game Live) at 6:30 p.m. tonight, where SNY’s Matt Cerrone (creator of MetsBlog) interviews me in a special segment from Citi Fiel


Day two of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft saw the Phillies taking nothing of great note, aside from two players: pitcher Nicholas Hernandez and catcher Andrew Susac...


Welcome to Phillies-Mets, Version 3. But it’s more like Version 2, as the original Versions 1 and 2 were just two games each. Not really enough, eh? It’s June 9 and the rivals will tussle again. Currently the Mets have hit 34 home runs...


Since today is draft day, here is atimeline of notable players the Phillies drafted: 2008: Anthony Hewitt (1st round, 24th overall out of Salisbury HS) 2007: Joe Savery (1st round, 19th overall out of Rice University) 2006: Kyle Drabek (1st round, 18th overall out of The Woodlands HS) Jason Donald...
Elizabeth at 9:04am June 9
We need some young strong pitching.......let's hope they get some ones today, even though we won't see them for a few years!
Matt at 10:14am June 9
Where they are, best player available. My bet is that someone decent slips. Any chance on God's gree earth that Kyle Gibson falls that far??? Doubt it....
Michael at 12:24pm June 9
Unfortunatley i dont think thats going to happen Matt, although wow wouldnt it be awesome if it did!!!!!!!!!!


We’ve solved the puzzle: Brad Lidge is still injured, still feeling inflammation in his knee. Of course, it seemed evident the whole time — his fastball wasn’t hitting with the same velocity, while his slider looked average sometimes. His delivery was off...


David Burruezo there is a group on Facebook titled - Raul Ibanez is an All Star Starter...please join and keep him in first place!!!


John Walker In LA, Dodger Stadium, on Sat June 6 At an "Authentic South St. Philly Cheese Steak" stand? lol


Philadelphia Phillies (32-21) at Los Angeles Dodgers (38-19) Joe Blanton (4-3, 5.86 ERA) vs. Hiroki Kuroda (1-1, 2.53 ERA) Time: 4:10 p.m. at Dodger Stadium, Chavez Ravine, Calif...


Last night stunk. It truly did. And people will post blame immediately when things stink. As is usually the case in baseball, if you blow a ninth-inning lead, blame goes to the closer. Not so fast, chilly Willy...


Sometimes you can’t pin blame on one person, but this time, there was only one man to blame: Brad Lidge. It started fine, with an easy first out. Then Rafael Furcal pinch hit for the Dodgers...
Jeffrey at 6:40pm June 6
I was there for this game.
My gut was telling me that Lidge was bad juju when he trotted out of the bullpen for the 9th ... sad, soo sad.

The Phillies are allegedly going to sign Tom Glavine or take Vicente Padilla from the Rangers. If the reports are true, the Phillies are close to out of their minds. Okay, maybe we shouldn’t be that drastic...


BaseballDigest.com reports the Phillies will sign either Tom Glavine or Vicente Padilla before the week ends: “The Phillies have been waiting for just this type of opportunity; take a veteran starter for a test drive for the next month or so before having to make any hard decisions about (San...


Kyle Drabek didn’t disappoint in his debut with the double-A Reading Phillies, allowing just three hits and three walks in seven scoreless frames. He struck out four. The Phillies won, 6-1, thanks to a couple RBI from Quintin Berry...


May offered better results for the Phillies, as they finished 17-11 mostly because of a 7-0 record against the Nationals. Here’s how they did it: vs. New York Mets: 1-1 at St. Louis: 2-0 at New York Mets: 0-2 vs. Atlanta: 1-2 vs...


Don’t look now, but Phillies are among the top votegetters in National League All-Star balloting. Raul Ibanez has justly moved into second place among outfielders, with 817.849 votes. He ranks behind Ryan Braun in the outfield, and overall still behind team leader Chase Utley...


The Phillies have promoted starting pitcher Kyle Drabek to AA Reading. Drabek went 4-1 in 10 games (nine starts) with a 2.48 ERA with Clearwater. He also struck out 74 and walked 19. Gustavo Chacin was promoted from Reading to Lehigh Valley...


Washington Nationals (13-33) at Philadelphia Phillies (25-20) Ross Detwiler (0-0, 2.45 ERA) vs. JA Happ (2-0, 2.60 ERA) Time: 7:05 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia Weather: Possible thunderstorms, 77 TV: Comcast SportsNet...


They let the Nationals get close, but the Phillies sealed the deal, defeating Washington 5-4. JA Happ got the win, going 5.2 innings and giving up three earned runs — two via Chad Durbin. Happ struck out five, walked three and hit two, showing mediocre control but only allowing three hits...


Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports Ruben Amaro Jr. is in the market for one elite-level starting pitcher, whom he would like to acquire at or around the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline...


UPDATE (5:50 p.m.): Jim Salisbury of the Inquirer says it’s a fraying of the labrum of the hip. His surgery (which he has to agree upon) is like those of Alex Rodriguez and Chase Utley. They needed about four-to-five months for recovery; that alone would end Myers’ season...

this is really gonna hurt the phillies season


On August 7, Harry Kalas will be inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame. “When we started the Wall of Fame in 1978, the intent was to honor the great players in our history,”team president David Montgomery said...


I stepped away from the Phillies for a while today, since there wasn’t anything really new to write about. Yes, the offense has some bad games, especially against sinkerball pitchers and guys who … well … can actually pitch...


Tim Flynn im comin to the sat night and sunday afternoon phillies game june20 and june21 from north carolina...im tryin to find a good tailgate...go phils

Your first plea: VOTE RAUL. And while you’re at it, VOTE Chase and VOTE Pedro. I won’t blame you if you VOTE Howard or VOTE Victorino, too. But for the love of Raul, VOTE R


Last night, Joe Blanton turned in his most impressive start in a Phillie uniform. For seven innings he worked the plate like a madman, baffling the Marlins into 11 strikeouts, a career high. He walked into a small bit of trouble, but each time he worked out of it impressively...

In a classic thriller, Carlos Ruiz busted a full-count, two-out double to hand the Phillies the 4-3 lead and eventual win in 11 innings over the Yankees. The win capped a spectacular 8-2 road trip by the Fightins’, which ranks among some of the best road swings in franchise history...


In need of an extra right handedbat for for interleague play, John Mayberry Jr. was called up from Triple-A. Mayberry’s eight home runs and 25 runs batted in led the Lehigh Valley IronPigs coming into Sunday...


Brian does anyone know if the rain out with the Mets on May 3rd has been rescheduled yet?
