In case you missed this on Friday night, it’s worth watching. The Philadelphia Phillies had a commanding lead on the San Francisco Giants in the sixth inning. Jimmy Rollins singled home two more runs to give the Phils an 8-2 lead. After that, Rollins swiped second base and that apparently didn’t go over so well [...]
The Philadelphia Phillies got quite a scare on Sunday when Shane Victorino fielded a ball in center field, then tripped and fell to the ground as he tried to hurl it to the infield. It looked like he rolled his ankle pretty good in the turf up in Toronto. Turns out, his thumb is the [...]
The Philadelphia Phillies have a miserable outfield. So much so that the 610 WIP mid-day crew of Glen Macnow and Anthony Gargano were discussing the worst Phillies outfields of all time. You only do that when the current one is so awful. So, it doesn’t help them that the one good outfielder that they do [...]
Over the course of a year, a lot can happen in sports. And probably in business. And in life too, we guess. But definitely in sports, things happen quite a bit. So much so, that things can get hidden. Sure, everyone saw the big touchdown pass or penalty shot or ill-timed bathroom break, but did [...]
For those of you dying for the Philadelphia Phillies to call up their top prospect Dom Brown, you don’t have to wait any longer. Centerfielder Shane Victorino was sent to the 15-day DL today with a strained oblique. And that means it’s Dom Brown time. Brown has been ripping up the minor leagues in the [...]
Of all the potential concerns that the Philadelphia Phillies would have this season, they didn’t include hitting. How would Cole Hamels do? Could Brad Lidge regain his 2008 form? Will the bullpen be able to get it done?
UPDATE: Rollins is listed as day-to-day, but don’t expect him to suit up so soon. During Friday night’s game against the Bawston Red Sawx, Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins pulled up lame after hitting a single to right field in the sixth inning, appearing to aggravate his calf. PHOTO CAPTION: Jimmy and Hank Baskett discuss why [...]
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, who has been out since April 12th from a strained right calf, is expected back next week, according to Asst GM Scott Proefrock. PHOTO CAPTION: J-Roll’s calf The Phillies start a seven-game homestand next Monday against the Pirates (2 games), Cubs (2 games), and the gawd awful Red Sox (3 [...]
Howard Eskin of 610 WIP Sports Radio in Philadelphia tweets that the Philadelphia Phillies are actually considering moving centerfielder Shane Victorino so that they can afford to keep Jayson Werth, who is the most interesting player in baseball. “Phillies are actually talking about trading shane victorino so they can sign and keep jayson werth after [...]
The Philadelphia Phillies announced this afternoon that they have placed shortstop Jimmy Rollins on the 15-day disabled list. Rollins suffered a Grade 1/Grade 2 calf strain while running before a game against the Washington Nationals. “We believe it to be a mild to moderate strain and we’re hopeful it will be a two-to-four week recovery,” [...]
A source tell Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com that Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins has a Grade 2 calf strain and could miss some time. Usually an injury like this will require a stint on the Mark Prior List, but we’ll see what happens. Rollins was running wind sprints before Monday’s game and must have tweaked [...]
Craig Calcaterra of nbcsports.com is reporting that the Philadelphia Phillies and gold glove-center fielder Shane Victorino have agreed to a three-year, $22 million contract. PHOTO CAPTION: The ball is either in his glove or over the fence Earlier in the week, Victorino filed an arbitration request of $5.8 million, while the team offered $4.74 million. [...]
Our pals at TMZ have learned that Jon Gosselin is heading to Hawaii to attend the wedding of Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Shane Victorino. We don’t know what this means or why anyone would care, but we do know that this broad (pictured) has some of the ugliest hair we’ve ever seen. Maybe Jon is flying [...]
Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino took a baseball to the finger from New Yankees pitcher A. J. Burnett last night during the first inning. It was obvious he was in pain, but Victorino remained in the game until he was pulled in the 7th inning and replaced by Ben Francisco. PHOTO CAPTION: Shane Victorino [...]
Every single media outlet (besides Philadelphia) and every single ‘expert’ (besides John Kruk) are taking the easy way out and picking the New York Yankees to win the World Series. It’s possible the Yankees could be the most overrated and over-hyped baseball team to ever play the sport. It’s also possible they aren’t. Only the [...]
Wow, that headline is misleading. We meant get a chance, not literally shot. It’s not like he got traded to Plaxico Burress’ softball team. So yeah, anyway, it seems that the Phillies’ Shane Victorino has a bum knee after making one of the best catches in the entire MLB season last night in a loss [...]
