Jamie Moyer News

Over the past couple of days, we've taken a look at the various avenues the Phillies might take once the free agent signing period begins tomorrow.

At 12:01 a.m. today, baseball's shopping season began. The Phillies, however, are in no rush to buy.

J.A. Happ was runner-up to Florida's Chris Coghlan in voting for NL rookie of the year.

He started the season in the bullpen. He ended the postseason as a reliever. In between, though, lefthander J.A. Happ pitched well enough as a starter to stabilize a rotation that was beset by injuries and ineffectiveness , helped the Phillies win their third straight division title and earned serious consideration for the Jackie Robinson National ...

Ita s no secret that the Phillies are in need of another reliable starting pitcher, because you cana t count on Cliff Lee being as great as he was down the stretch and carry the entire pitching staff throughout a full season.

The Yankees were the better team. After Game 6 of the World Series, I don't think there can be much argument about that, and I'm as die-hard a Phillies fan as you'll find.

Nine days from birthday 47, Jamie Moyer is back doing what he loves. Helping others.

It took less than two days for the Phillies to decide that Cliff Lee is a part of their future and Brett Myers isn't. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr.

Cole Hamels, in the dugout with manager Charlie Manuel, is expected to play a big role in 2010.

After eight seasons with the Phillies, Brett Myers will be moving on. In a phone conversation this afternoon, Myers' agent confirmed a report that the Phillies have informed the 29-year-old right-hander that they don't intend to re-sign him.

Whenever Charlie Manuel has been asked about Cole Hamels' dip in performance from 2008, he usually utters the same refrain: Hamels' stuff is no different than it was last year.

The two questionable calls in Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday night have spurred still more calls for the expansion of instant replay, something that Commissioner Bud Selig is reluctant to do, even though the 2009 postseason has been plagued by umpiring mistakes.

Earlier this week, Jamie Moyer was lamenting that nobody just sits around and talks about baseball anymore.

OK, we get it. It rains a lot in Philadelphia during October. The last three times they've been in the World Series, the Phillies have hosted the middle three games.

After umpires botched a pair of calls Thursday night in the late innings of Game 2 of the World Series, the question of whether Major League Baseball should expand the use of instant replay has resurfaced.

The master of the changeup needs desperately to change things up. With the World Series tied 1-1, the Phillies will send Cole Hamels to the mound tonight.

Susan Finkelstein gets free World Series tickets from a radio station, just days after the Philadelphia woman is charged with offering sex for tickets.

The great irony of last year's World Series title was that the hard-hitting Phillies really got through October on the strength of their pitching.

Jimmy Rollins watches his game-winning double in the ninth inning of Game 4. "I know what Jimmy is like, and I know how he likes those moments and can come through in them," manager Charlie Manuel said of his shortstop.

One more win and the Fightin' Phils will have another World Series trip to celebrate.
