Philadelphia Phillies News

I didn’t want to wait outside Citizens Bank Park looking for Phillies tickets so I checked online and found the Ticket Specialists . They had an incredible selection. I have never seen the field so close. I also have never gone to a game for so little. Seriously, the prices were beyond reasonable.

I’m using the site now all the time. It has tickets for concerts, comedians, Vegas, Broadway, and anything else you can think of. I’m going to have a great summer going to see Pearl Jam , James Taylor , and Counting Crows thanks to the Ticket Specialists.

The Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday signed closer Brad Lidge to a three-year contract worth $37.5 million.

Pinch-hitter Brian Schneider lined a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and the New York Mets rallied against the majors’ best bullpen, beating Philadelphia 9-4 Saturday night and ending the Phillies’ four-game winning streak. Schneider’s two-run double came with two outs. He was the Mets’ third pinch-hitter of the inning as they overcame a 4-3 deficit.

Shane Victorino’s two-out RBI single in the ninth inning lifted the Philadelphia Phillies over the New York Mets 3-2 on Friday night. Duaner Sanchez (3-1) retired the first two batters before Pedro Feliz doubled to left field. Victorino followed with a liner to right on a 1-2 pitch to score Feliz and send a sellout crowd into a frenzy.

Cole Hamels came within one out of his second shutout of the Braves this season, making the Phillies’ second series sweep of the year in Atlanta look easy. Hamels, who earned his first career shutout against the Braves on May 15, gave up his only run with two outs in the ninth, and the Phillies beat the Braves 4-1 on Thursday night to complete their second three-game sweep at Turner Field.

The Phillies will call up left-hander J.A. Happ to pitch against Johan Santana and the New York Mets, manager Charlie Manuel said Thursday. Happ will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley for the start on Friday in Philadelphia. Happ, 25, will be making his second major league start, both against the Mets.

Ryan Howard hit a three-run homer, Pat Burrell added his second homer of the series and the Philadelphia Phillies survived a ninth-inning scare to beat the Atlanta Braves 7-3 on Wednesday night. The Phillies improved to 5-0 in Atlanta this season and 7-1 overall in the season series. The Braves (40-45) fell a season-worst five games under .500 with their second straight loss in the series, despite…

Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez will skip the All-Star Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium later this month, choosing to protect his finely tuned swing. The reigning AL MVP participated in three derbies before he joined the Yankees in 2004 and he feels the made-for-TV event held the night before the July 15 All-Star game can have an adverse affect on a batter’s mechanics.

All the Philadelphia Phillies needed to get out of their interleague doldrums was a visit to division rival Atlanta. Shane Victorino hit a home run and drove in four runs and the Phillies beat the Braves 8-3 on Tuesday night to remain unbeaten at Turner Field this season and spoil the return of Chipper Jones.
