215 Sports | A Philly Sports Blog | October 10th 2008 by Brian
4:35 PM ET from Citizens Bank Park 215 Sportsguy- Outcome: Manny Ramirez is still on fire but so is Brett Myers of late. With Manny only sporting a career .158 (3 for 19) average against Myers, I think Brett can keep him in check. Hopefully the read more

Philliesflow.com | September 27th 2008
The Phillies won an amazing game with a long list of heroes this afternoon, topping the Nationals by a run to clinch the NL East. Jimmy Rollins has to head-up the list — and he went 1-for-4 and didn’t score or drive in a run. He made two read more
Phils may be wondering if there’s time to send Myers back to th…
Philliesflow.com | September 25th 2008
The bad news is there might be. It was looking pretty simple a couple of days ago. The Phils led the division by 2 1/2 games and were set to send their top two starters to the mound against the 69-88 Atlanta Braves. Two games later, it’s the read more

Better make that 32 good swings a year
Philliesflow.com | September 19th 2008
I think the notion that Pat Burrell is only good for thirty good swings a year is absurd. Whether you agree or not, it’s hard to deny that he came up with a big swing last night. Every day seems to bring a new hero for the Phils, and last nig read more

JA saves the da
Philliesflow.com | September 18th 2008
Sooner or later, and probably sooner, JA Happ is going to struggle. Opposing hitters are going to adjust and hit him hard, really hard, and his numbers will explode. Sometime in the next two or three years someone is sure to say that he just doesn& read more

Strange brew
Philliesflow.com | September 13th 2008
Cole Hamels pitched well this afternoon — the Phils jumped all over Manny Parra and cruised to a mostly easy victory. The Phillies seems to have picked things up, but perhaps just as important to their post-season hopes is that the Brewers loo read more
More Moyer proves to be the key for Phils
Philliesflow.com | September 12th 2008
When a pitcher allows three runs over 5 2/3 innings whether or not you think he pitched well or not might depend on how much you like the pitcher. I like Jamie Moyer a lot. It’s pretty hard for a Phillies fan not to like the 45-year-old as he read more

Philliesflow.com | September 8th 2008
Starting pitching and two big swings of the bat from Greg Dobbs were the story of the Phils’ series with the Mets. The story started out well but didn’t have the happy ending that Phillies fans were hoping for. Dobbs provided most of t read more
Mets can’t get Brett
Philliesflow.com | September 6th 2008
Just about everyone thinks that this weekend’s series between the Phillies and the Mets is more important to the Phils than it is to the Mets. And I agree with them. But maybe not by quite as much as you might think. The Mets came into the s read more
