The NLCS features two evenly-matched clubs, but how
the managers line up their rotations could make all
the difference.
SS Jimmy Rollins went right to Milwaukee's Jeff
Suppan with a lead-off homer. Lf Pat Burrell and
rf Jayson Werth bashed back-to-back homers accounting for 4 third inning Phillie runs with Burrell going yard for good measure in the 8th. Mid-season acquisition Joe Blanton tossed a six inning gem...
July 17: Phillies acquire Joe Blanton from Oakland
for pitcher Josh Outman, second baseman Adrian Cardenas and
outfielder Matt Spencer. Consensus: Joe Stinkin’ Blanton? Those cheap S.O.B.’s. Was Steve Trachsel unavailable? Did they secretly re-hire Ed Wade?? Why don’t you just give the division?!
The Philadelphia Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers will
both be trying to pick up a win on
Sunday when they battle at Miller Park. Joe Blanton will be the starting pitcher for the Phillies on this day. Righthander Blanton is 9-12 this season with a 4.69 ERA. The Brewers will counter Blanton ...
In mid-July, Joe Blanton was traded from the
Oakland A's to the Phillies. At the time, I
drew a comparison between Blanton and Pat Burrell: Blanton for several years was a highly regarded prospect in the A's system and many expected him to become part ...
All good things must come to an end.
The Brewers could not figure out Joe Blanton Sunday
afternoon, and lost the fourth and final game of the NLDS, 6-2. Brewers’ pitcher Jeff Suppan gave up a home run to the first hitter of the afternoon, ...
Pat Burrell hit two homers and drove in
four and Joe Blanton gave up a run in
six innings on seven strike outs. Yes, I’d say when Pat Burrell beats a team by his lonesome, you deserve to pack your bags and call it a season. If you’re ...
MILWAUKEE - In anticipation of a major splash
before the non-waiver trading deadline, disappointed Phillies fans received
barely a ripple of excitement when Pat Gillick bypassed some of the bigger available names and acquired Joe Blanton from the ...
Just heard that the Phillies have set up
their rotation for the first three games of the
National League division series against the Milwaukee Brewers: Cole Hamels will pitch Game 1 on Wednesday, Brett Myers will pitch Game 2 on Thursday and Jamie ...
The Phillies offense jumped all over Manny Parra
and the Brewers tonight, coming away with a 7-3
victory and moving up to 2 games back in both the Wild Card standings and the NL East.
Looks like Pat Burrell may be emerging from
his slump, and it could not have happened a
minute too soon. Burrell went 2 for 4 with an RBI in the 8th which broke a tie game open. Shane Victorino followed up with a 3 run homer and the Phillies went on to win the game 7-3.
BY SCOTT LAUBER So much to talk (and
write) about after the Phils' 7-3 win in the
opener, and the nightcap already is underway here at the Bank, where fans are waving rally towels and cheering madly, just like last September. Without further ...
Scott Lauber reports Joe Blanton was pitching with
biceps tendinitis for at least two starts. According to
pitching coach Rich Dubee, Blanton altered his arm slot to pitch through the pain, hampering his control. Dubee said “it was nothing ...
With the 3-2 win over the Marlins and
a Mets loss, the Phillies regain first place again
in the NL East and lead by ½ a game. It was a rough game and the Fish did not go down easy, but this win means the Phils need only 5 more wins to ensure a playoff spot.
What was at one point a 7-1 lead
in tonight’s game did not wind up being as
easy a win as it first looked. Then again, this team does nothing the easy way. Just ask Jimmy Rollins.
