Lincecum has the long hair now, but when he came up he looked like this youngster....


Good luck to the Phils against him tonight!

Phillies like playing on ESPN

When Jon Miller and ESPN Sunday Night Baseball come to town in Philly, the added national exposure is good for the Phils! The Phillies now have a 3-1 record on Sunday Night Baseball, the ESPN crew scours the stadium for stories and they usually tell you a few of them on the broadcast. Last night's show was no different. They had a cool feature on Ryan Howard and the way he bats, it almost looked like a tutorial. Joe Morgan, searched the Braves batting practice for stories and he was accompanied by his broadcast mates, Jon Miller and even ex-Met GM now broadcaster Steve Phillips.

Last night's win was a team effort, Joe Blanton kept it close and the offense though not very powerful, won the evening with the Ruiz double scoring 2 runs when it was needed most. Ruiz finished the night with 2 doubles and Scott Eyre came in from the bullpen not having pitched since mid-August to slam the door on three batters and setting up the save attempt by the Phillies.

Joe Morgan even remembered the late Harry Kalas with a very touching story of their early days together in Houston when Harry was just getting into broadcasting. Jon Miller and he reminisced about the times Harry would come into the booth and talk with them when they were in town.

Phillies sweep Dbacks at home for 69th win

Season ticket holders are getting their postseason packages mailed to them this week. No better a time than this week really, as the Phillies have earned another sweep. The Diamondbacks are the owners of this sweep, and even though the team is made up of a lot of players that may not be household names, they are still a team that the Phillies have to go out there on the field and beat to gain their way into the playoffs and staying on top of the NL East.


The Phillies got win # 69 tonight, and how sweet it is, with the 53rd sellout at home this year, which is a new record. In fact, every game that the Philles sellout towards the end of this season will set the new record for sellouts in a season. Figure the math, there are 81 home games, the Phillies could end up selling out 70 games or so this year. After tonight’s sweep of the Dbacks, the Philles only have 20 remaining home games in the regular season left to play.


It was hot and humid out there at the stadium tonight, there were constant panning of the crowd on tv showing them trying to fan themselves trying to get some air moving. Phillies radio announcer, Larry Anderson, said “I am sticking to myself, it’s so sticky out here”. This heavy air bode well for Phillies bats, as they unleashed their offensive juggernaut after only scoring one run with leaving the bases loaded at one point during the game. The hit parade started with who else but one of the hottest players in the past two weeks, Jason Werth, who hit a two run homer in the 5th inning. Ryan Howard has been heating up as well, he hit a homer which is his 32nd homer on the season with two men on base in the 6th inning.


The 12-3 win tonight brought the Phillies the home sweep, and now they head out onto the road to New York with 4 games against the Mets. This upcoming series with the Mets may have been a decisive series had the Mets been threatening for a playoff spot, but it looks as if the Mets may miss the postseason again. The Phillies still need to keep their focus on winning ballgames though, even in the next series that will be in Pittsburgh.


One thing the series with Arizona has done is limit the need for Brad Lidge to come out and save a game. The Phillies haven’t needed to much from Lidge for the past few games and that’s good, as he has been going through a really tough time for a closer. Lidge’s troubles have been pushed aside by Charlie Manuel but we all know it’s much deeper than that. Lidge has had troubles all year long, and he should be evaluated more objectively on the basis of his performance so far rather than just staying with him for any other reason.


Let’s see how the team does now that they will be on the road. It’s Cole Hamels turn again in the rotation, let’s hope the Phils still have that offense to give Hamels a much needed cushion for his next outing.

Phils and Lidge hold on for 4th win in a row

This was a tough game. Both starters did their best to keep their team into tonight's game with the Phillies and the Braves. In the end, it was what has been carrying the Phillies, the home run. The Phils didn't do much tonight when on the base pads, but Chase Utley and Ryan Howard went yard and earned the Phillies a much needed win to keep the Braves safely behind them for now.

Brad Lidge added a scare again, in the bottom of the 9th inning. He gave up a sharp hit single to center and later walked one batter. Lidge pitched to his last batter of the game and got him to fly out in very deep left field to end the game. Lidge looked tired to me out on the mound. Maybe it was the lights, but he looked as though he had bags under his eyes. This could have easily ended in very bad fashion for Lidge if he doesn't get that last out. He did though and this one is in the record books as a win.


This makes 4 in a row for the Phils as they next play on Fox Saturday baseball at 4pm.
