Report: Red Sox, Jonathan Papelbon Could Reunite As Phillies Think Boston Is Interested in Closer
Back on May 28, Jonathan Papelbon made his first appearance at Fenway Park since jetting from the Red Sox to the Phillies after the 2011 season. The Philadelphia closer was booed with aplomb by the Boston fans, but what would their reaction be if Papelbon returned to the mound wearing a Red Sox uniform?

Weekend Recap: Have you seen enough?
Before the Phillies embarked on a 10-game road trip I laid out my expectations if I was to continue to believe this team might be capable of turning things around enough to make a postseason push something worth considering possible. As I reiterated last Monday, that was for the Phillies to pick up no fewer than six wins with stops in Milwaukee, Minnesota and Colorado. Seven wins...

The future for the Philadelphia Phillies begins now
Ruf Watches his Drive During April in Lehigh Valley.
The Philadelphia Phillies record going into their game Sunday stands at 33-36 and 7 1/2 games behind the Atlanta Braves who are leading the NL East. With this being said, where do the Phillies go from here? Do they continue to play sub .500 baseball, do they make some big time trades by trading the likes of a Cliff Lee, Chase Utley...

Buy or Sell: Philadelphia Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies have fell on hard times as of late. They are struggling to stay at a .500 record, the bullpen problems continue and the offense is not producing. With that being said, they are 6.5 games out of first place and only one game behind the Washington Nationals for second place.
The big question is, will they be able to get back to their 2008 and 2009 World Series...
No Blueprint For Trading Pitchers Like Lee
Cliff Lee made headlines today for his comments to Jim Salisbury when asked “You came here to win. How tough is it to be here on a team that’s spinning its wheels around .500 and has a real uphill road?“:

Roster Moves Coming
After last night's 5th consecutive loss, the Phillies optioned Cesar Hernandez back to Lehigh Valley. Someone will be summoned today to take his spot on the 25-man roster. I propose Darin Ruf. Pitchers John Lannan and Carlos Zambrano are both ready to be added to the roster as well, so corresponding moves need to be made. Here's what I would do...Down:Cesar HernandezJoe...
