Jamie Moyer News

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.

Coming off an unexpected World Series appearance was tough. There were the distractions that accompany success.

This is how you accomplish something that hasn't been done in the previous 12 years: You don't think about it.

Phillies left-hander Jamie Moyer is a more productive spectator at the ballpark than he is at home or in the hospital.

For the past year, they've been linked by a moment that will live in postseason lore.

So much is made of what Carlos Ruiz does between the batter's boxes, sometimes what he does in the batter's box goes unappreciated.

Pat Gillick said he didn't target American League players when he was looking to make trades while serving as general manager of the Phillies.
