The Fightins lost to the lowly Nats 8-1 on Friday night, and Roy Oswalt’s first performance as a Phillie was, well, effing bad.
It seems as if Roy agrees…
effing mother effer

friday fan of the week(end): miss iowa
Weems | Comments (0) | fan of the week | July 30, 2010 9:00 pm
Is this cheating? I mean, this girl is paid to be hot. Either way, your “fan of the week” is the lovely Miss Iowa, Katherine Connors. She threw out the first pitch on Friday night before the Phillies-Nats game, and Miguel Batista was the lucky guy that got to catch her errant throw. Batista spent the whole 30 seconds that he was on the field for caking on Miss Iowa. Can’t really blame him though; he’s 39 — his time to milk this “I’m a professional athlete” thing is running out quickly. If I was him, I’d frame the above picture, hang it on my mantle, and tell people that’s my side chick from DC that I hang out with when I have feel like it. You know, play it cool. Yeah.

roy oswalt waives no trade clause, dealt to phillies
Yodo | Comments (2) | Phillies | July 29, 2010 3:06 pm
For the fourth July in a row, the Phillies have traded for a starting pitcher at the non-waiver trade deadline. In 2007 it was Kyle Lohse, in 2008 it was Joe Blanton, in 2009 it was Cliff Lee and now in 2010 it is Roy Oswalt. The Phillies acquired Houston’s ace for a package that includes J.A. Happ and prospects Anthony Gose (CF) and Jonathan Villar (SS). Houston is also picking up $11M of the remaining $24M guaranteed on Oswalt’s deal (~$5M this year, $16M in 2011 and $3M buyout of 2012, or $16M if the Phillies pick up his option).

rube reads wheres weems – dom B gettin the call! (update: he’s starting!)
Weems | Comments (11) | Phillies | July 28, 2010 1:40 pm
At noon, we posted an article saying that the Phils need to call up Dom B, pointing out the obvious, and now they do. You’re welcome, Philadelphia.
Dom will debut in a #9 jersey tonight vs. Arizona.
Update – Here’s the Phils’ line up for tonight, complete with Dom Brown (batting 6th!!)…The whole internet swoons together:
1) Polanco – 2B
2) Dobbs – 3B
3) Ibanez – LF
4) Howard – 1B
5) Werth – CF
6) Brown – RF
7) Ruiz – C
8) Valdez – SS
9) Halladay – P
victorino (possibly) hurt – bring up dom!
Mo'lloy | Comments (0) | Phillies | July 28, 2010 12:00 pm
Shane Victorino left last night’s game with a strained oblique, and goes for an MRI today. Assuming he’s out for any period of time, it’s probably the best opportunity to bring up Domonic Brown. Dom would get a chance to play in right every day (Werth would move to center) and would likely bring some much-appreciated punch to an offense that until last week was as lifeless as George Steinbrenner (too soon?).
