There is no secret around major league baseball that Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr., is looking for another starter for the rotation. When and who is another matter. Any move made for bona-fide Number 1 or 2 starters in a trade, the Phils will be required to give up some prospects.

Day Dreamin’ In Tampa
myteamrivals.typepad.com 6/26/2009 — The past few days have left Phillies fans wondering who turned the lights out. The mental mistakes, lack of concentration and outright wackiness of this team begs the question, where have the Phillies head’s gone? Did they drink too many Slurpee’s in the hot weather and are ...
Preview Game 65: Phillies vs. Orioles
macho-row.blogspot.com 6/19/2009 — This season the Phillies have recorded two series wins at home. Both have come against the Washington Nationals .

Eric B Needs to be Cut (and My Name is Rakim)
misterballz.blogspot.com 7/22/2009 — While the Phillies are on a hot streak this month, one player on the team is not. Eric Bruntlett is 1-for-12 in July. Since the start of May, Bruntlett's apex in batting average has been .167 on June 14th. Bruntlett's ineptitude can be tolerated no longer. Get rid of this guy NOW! Eric B. is ...
It Was A Happy 4th of July Weekend as Phils Sweep Mets
myteamrivals.typepad.com 7/6/2009 — Somehow, after losing 14-of-18 games, the Phils were still 1-game ahead of the Mets prior to their 3-game series on Friday. The Phils were falling, and falling fast. All of a sudden, Florida and Atlanta became a concern. The team we should fear the most, however, failed to capitalize on the ...
Pitching Has Become A Serious Problem for the Phils
myteamrivals.typepad.com 6/26/2009 — After jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the first-inning, you had to feel the Phillies were gonna come out of this one with a win.

Remember the days when the Mets were fading, the Marlins had completely imploded, and the Phillies looked like they could be well on their way to cruising to their third straight NL East title? Y'know, like...two, three weeks ago? Well, after apearing to turn things around a little in ...
From Batboy to Player to GM

Phils Vs. Jays/Rain
the700level.com 6/18/2009 — There's a Phillies game set for 1:05 PM this afternoon at the Bank, but seeing as how it hasn't stopped raining since I got home from Denver last night (seriously, this is like living in a greenhouse), we assumed today's matinee was in trouble. However, David Murphy says the tarp is off the ...

Bleacher Report - MLB 6/29/2009
It was a game that could have easily gone either way, but it was a game that should have gone the Blue Jays' way. Brian Tallet had the game in the palm of his hands, but he let it slip away as the Jays lost the rubber match of their series against ...
