Cole Hamels didn't talk to the media as his frustration boiled over. Of the two responses, one shows part of what's wrong with the Phillies. http://phillies.scout.com/2/1293366.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/1293366.html Tue, 21 May 2013 17:13:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies William Shakespeare once wrote that "he jests at scars that never felt a wound." For Philadelphia Phillie fans, fresh off of a tough playoff defeat at the hands of the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals, the question becomes, will the defeat lead to mere flesh wounds or leave indelible scars for all to witness? That and other questions are well worth examining...in the aftermath. http://phillies.scout.com/2/1126354.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/1126354.html Tue, 08 Nov 2011 23:46:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies The Phillies early exit has their GM thinking that the club needs a whole new philosophy. Gone are the days of waiting for a home run and here come the days of making something happen on the field. http://phillies.scout.com/2/1116562.html 2047 Daren Babisko http://phillies.scout.com/2/1116562.html Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:43:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies With the Phillies having to play 33 games in 31 days, they can at least point to having some help on the way. September first call-ups are right around the corner and we've got our prognostication of who goes where. http://phillies.scout.com/2/1100819.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/1100819.html Tue, 30 Aug 2011 20:22:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies The Phillies set their targets for Hunter Pence long time ago and they just hit their bulls-eye. The Phillies will send four players to Houston for Pence and cash to help pay his salary for the rest of the season. http://phillies.scout.com/2/1090536.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/1090536.html Sat, 30 Jul 2011 01:37:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies Ruben Amaro Jr. has taken care of a few loose ends here and there before jetting off to Orlando for a couple days to take part in the annual GM Meetings. With a couple of spare parts signed - Pete Orr, Erik Kratz, Eddie Bonine - and the reliable Jose Contreras locked up for two more seasons, Amaro can start tackling tougher tasks on his agenda. http://phillies.scout.com/2/1022473.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/1022473.html Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:52:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies The Phillies starting rotation is getting very interesting. With Kyle Kendrick optioned out and Jamie Moyer exiting early with an injury, the mystery of the Phillies rotation takes on an increasingly urgent feel. http://phillies.scout.com/2/985216.html 2047 Jay Zenz http://phillies.scout.com/2/985216.html Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:33:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies T-minus 11 days and counting until the trade deadline. The Phillies have been racking up frequent flyer miles with their scouts and hope to pull off a deal to help their floundering club. http://phillies.scout.com/2/985111.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/985111.html Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:22:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies This winter has been filled with debate about the Phillies decision to trade Cliff Lee and bring in Roy Halladay. Could it have been done differently? Or, in a worst-case scenario, will it go down as one of baseball's blunders? http://phillies.scout.com/2/948551.html 2047 John Shiffert http://phillies.scout.com/2/948551.html Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:36:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies The Phillies rotation could have had both Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay at the top. The decision not to keep Lee wasn't just about payroll, it was more of what Ruben Amaro termed a "baseball decision." http://phillies.scout.com/2/929992.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/929992.html Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:18:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies Tis said that it is better to give than receive, but in this merriest of seasons, Phillie GM Ruben Amaro has turned the theory completely backwards. His desire is to receive, and in order to receive he must decide what to give. Little doubt however about his goal, a...happy Halladay, Merry Christmas. http://phillies.scout.com/2/929174.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/929174.html Tue, 15 Dec 2009 07:30:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies It's the hottest week of the Hot Stove Season and it all centers on Indianapolis.

Unfortunately, that meant not renewing the contract of third baseman Pedro Feliz. http://phillies.scout.com/2/919239.html 2047 The Sports Xchange http://phillies.scout.com/2/919239.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:31:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies The success of the Phillies in the postseason may come down to how much success their bullpen has. Right now, their bullpen is literally battered and bruised, but there's hope that by playoff time they'll be healthy enough to contribute. http://phillies.scout.com/2/902211.html 2047 PBN Staff http://phillies.scout.com/2/902211.html Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:36:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies Harrowing may exaggerate a bit but to say the Phillies pursuit of a Cy Young award winning pitcher was disconcerting would not. In the end, the Phils went to the edge of the abyss, counted the risk and took the plunge in what could be called nothing less than a veritable...cliff hanger. http://phillies.scout.com/2/884650.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/884650.html Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:20:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies Ruben Amaro Jr. pulled off a major coup by getting Cliff Lee and Ben Francisco from Cleveland. Even with that done though, there's still some shopping that Amaro could do. Finding a late inning bullpen option might be good for the Phillies. http://phillies.scout.com/2/883243.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/883243.html Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:21:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies The Phillies sent Jason Knapp, Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald and Lou Marson to Cleveland for pitcher Cliff Lee and outfielder Ben Francisco. The move gives the Phillies the starter they needed and we've got the word on whether or not it was a good deal for the Phillies and why. http://phillies.scout.com/2/883020.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/883020.html Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:50:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies Forget Roy Halladay. The Phillies turned their attention to Cleveland's Cliff Lee and have wrapped up a deal to add Lee to their rotation. The trade also brings a right-handed bat to the Phillies bench. http://phillies.scout.com/2/882941.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/882941.html Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:31:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies These are heady times for Phillie faithful. There is much truth to the theory that at present, Philadelphia is at the very epicenter of the baseball universe. With this in mind, it seems feasible that the team is feeling a bit ebullient, but even so would they dare to celebrate a...Christmas in July Halladay? http://phillies.scout.com/2/880518.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/880518.html Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:32:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies
