Despite Philadelphia GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. describing his needs this winter as "Third base, bullpen, bench," many people within baseball think the Phillies will make a run at Roy Halladay, reports Jim Salisbury of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Salisbury quotes a rival front office member as saying, "Philadelphia is into winning now, and Halladay fits that." Toronto's asking price this...

Here goes: 1. Did Cole Hamels Lose The Clubhouse with His Remarks in the World Series? Don't know how big an issue this is. Despite Charlie Manuel's closing of the ranks, I'm sure that Hamels did damage with his "I can't wait for this to be over" line. Baseball players are among the most competitive people on the planet, and I can't believe that guys who push themselves hard for a long haul...

NEW YORK - J.A. Happ enjoyed a regular season that could earn him the National League rookie-of-the-year award, but his postseason was nowhere near as eventful.

Alright, so Rocky knocked the Bronx Bombers down last night. Secret is to keep them down. There is a rumor that Curt Schilling is going to pitch game 7 for the Phils, so we sent out to get the sock...it should be here soon and if not, some nice fellows from the deli down the street offered to bring us a couple red socks, if it will help the Phightins down the Bronx Bullies. So, we’ll see Pedro...

It might be a bit early to discuss game 7, given the fact that there might hopefully won't be one, but a thought popped into my head after reading this . Why not start Brett Myers in Game 7 of the World Series? If you're the Phillies your options are "I can't wait for the season to end" Cole Hamels, Blanton on 3 days rest, rookie J.A. Happ, or former ace of your staff Myers. Cole Hamels is...

The Phillies found themselves in a 3-1 hole going into Monday night. Luckily for them, they had their ace, Cliff Lee, on the mound for them. But the Phillies bats went into overdrive for them as well, putting up six runs in three innings. After three, the Phillies had a commanding 6-1 lead, and Cliff Lee had thrown just 50 pitches. Should Manuel have pulled Lee at that point, saving him so that he...

Observations: 1. So now the Series goes back to New York, with the Yankees leading 8-6. Unless Joe Girardi summons Chad Gaudin to the mound, the Yankees' starters both will be working on short rest. Since the 2004 NLDS (when Roy Oswalt beat Jaret Wright), starters in the post-season working on short rest are 0 and 7. The record for starters working on short rest since 1999 is 9-28. The edge on this...

Looking ahead to game 4 of the World Series, but I'm feeling a little grim. I've been rooting for the Phillies who lost the crucial Game 3, largely because of a bizarre decision by Phillies starter Cole Hamels. Tom Verducci at Sports Illustrated explains: When Pettitte stepped in, Hamels was working with a 3-2 lead, a runner at second base and -- here's the key part -- one out. Pettitte is a career...

1. If Game 3 is the turning point of the World Series -- 68 percent of teams up 2-1 go on to win it -- then a Yankees championship began with one pitch from Cole Hamels that will be remembered as one of the great gaffes in recent Series history. The beginning of the end for Philadelphia was a first-pitch curveball Hamels threw New York pitcher Andy Pettitte with no understanding of basic baseball....

by Jeff Fletcher Filed under: Phillies , World Series PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies manager Charlie Manuel Friday said he's decided to start Joe Blanton in Game 4, rather than J.A. Happ or Cliff Lee , who would have had to pitch on three days' rest. Blanton gave up four runs, three earned, in six innings in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers . He was behind when he left,...

In an attempt to look at the World Series from the opposing viewpoint, The Good Phight 's Peter Baker and myself will examine the matchup, but from the side we're not used to discussing. So while he writes a 'The Yankees will win if...' story, here's mine on the Phils. The Phillies will win if: 1. CC Sabathia comes back to earth. His postseason ERA in three starts is 1.19. He can't sustain that long...

Happ's strong start, and Brad Lidge earned an easy save as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Sunday night. Philadelphia, which has won five of six, dropped the Braves six games back in the National League East and kept Atlanta from tying Florida for second place in the division. After his solo shot...
