Answer 1

During the off-season, All-Star second baseman Chase Utley signed a 7-year, $85 million contract extension that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2013. Also signed to a long-term contract was starting pitcher Brett Myers. He was signed to a three-year, $25.75-million deal which bought out his remaining two-years of arbitration and one year of free agency. In addition, the Phillies renewed the contract of first baseman Ryan Howard to a deal of one year, $900,000 deal, the most ever offered to a player not eligible for salary arbitration.

The Phillies began the 2007 season with a home-opening 5-3 loss on April 2 to the Atlanta Braves after 10 innings. After the first fifteen games the Phillies limped to a 4-11 record, but then found a five game winning streak to put them back into contention in the National League East. After 40 games, the Phillies finally reached the .500 mark at, 20-20.

The starting lineup for the 2007 season opening was as follows: Rod Barajas (C), Ryan Howard (1B), Chase Utley (2B), Wes Helms (3B), Jimmy Rollins (SS), Pat Burrell (LF), Aaron Rowand (CF), Shane Victorino (RF), Freddy Garcia (SP), Brett Myers (SP), Cole Hamels (SP), Adam Eaton (SP), Jamie Moyer (SP), and Tom Gordon (CL). Carlos Ruíz has taken over the starting role from Barajas, mainly through his ability to deliver more offensive power. Third base has also become a platoon position due to the emergence of IF/OF Greg Dobbs, who gained regular playing time during Howard's trip to the disabled list and has regularly contributed at third and in left field since that time.

On April 18, Brett Myers was moved to the bullpen and Jon Lieber replaced him in the starting rotation. Myers supplanted Tom Gordon as the Phillies' closer before being placed on the disabled list himself.

Heading into the All-Star break the Phillies split their win/loss record at 44-44, and have been hampered by the loss of starting pitchers Freddy Garcia and Jon Lieber due to injuries which will sideline them for the remainder of the season. They have, however, found a bright spot in young pitcher Kyle Kendrick.

Three Phillies were named to the 2007 All Star Game in San Francisco, CA. Chase Utley was the starting second baseman for the National League squad and center fielder Aaron Rowand was named as a backup (his first All Star appearance). Starting pitcher Cole Hamels also appeared in his first All Star Game.

Ryan Howard was invited back to defend his title and participate in the 2007 Home Run Derby. Howard won the contest in 2006, but did not make it out of the first round in 2007.

On July 15, 2007, the Phillies lost their 10,000th game, 10-2 to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Phillies became the first North American professional sports franchise to lose 10,000 games.

In a July 17 game in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, the Phillies recorded 26 hits, 1 hit short of the franchise record.

In a July 27 game against the Washington Nationals, pitcher John Lannan hit Chase Utley in the hand with a pitch, breaking it. In response, the Phillies acquired Tadahito Iguchi from the White Sox.

The Phillies lead the National League in runs scored. Jimmy Rollins currently holds that distiction as an individual, with Ryan Howard leading the league lead in RBIs. Utley and Rollins also lead the league in total bases, Utley first, Rollins second.


So...No.

Answer 2

Seriously Silvio! Nobody answers a question that way or talks like that. I knew right away that was paraphrased. I'm glad somebody called you out and found where you copied it from.

I think the Phillies do have a chance at the playoffs, they have a pretty solid team, they just need to get their pitching to come around during the home stretch. The World Series is a crap shoot, as the last few years have proven, the team that gets hot at the right time can win it. So if the Phillies really turn things on the last month and enter the playoffs on a big winning streak, they could win it all. That's how the Cardinals won last year. But my guess is Boston is going to win it again this year. That team is very complete and deep.

Answer 3

they have a really good chance of playing in october, they are about to sweep the mets and are only 3 games behind them

once they get into the playoffs, of course they have a chance of winning the world series, there is 8 teams in the playoffs, and world series winners have been wild card teams, not the best, which is what the phillies are

Answer 4

If they can continue to get some good starts from their rotation, they've got a very good shot at making the postseason. They seem to be getting hot at the right time of year, and they showed a lot of fortitude staying in the race with some tough injuries this season.

As for the playoffs, they've got as good a shot as anyone. Don't listen to anyone who tells you they can't beat a certain team in the postseason, because it's a bunch of bull. These are the same people who all predicted the Cards had no chance last season, and the Marlins in 2003. Anyone who has watched baseball - or anyone who understands math - knows that chance plays a huge role in a short series.

Answer 5

The philles do have a chance eto make the post season most likely as the wild card but the will have to get hot now and ride it through to end. Need their pitching to improve and a bit more offense up and down the order.

As far as making or winning the World Series I don't think so as I feel that the Mets are going to win it all this year.

Answer 6

The Phillies are 3 GB on the Mets, and don't forget the wildcard and they're only 3GB on the wildcard and they will make the post season .If the Phillies work on their bullpen they have a great chance on the postseason and the world series.

Answer 7

If they keep playing well and winning. They have a chance to go to the playoffs. As to winning the world series I want to see who their opponent will be first.

Answer 8

Sorry, Red Sox get the World Series win this year. Phillies, no, sorry, I don't think so, three DB from the Mets, that's a fair amount for Sept. For National league, I'm thinking Diamondbacks...?

Answer 9

THe phillies do. They just need to focus and win some games. I say one of the wild card winners of AL and NL take it.

Answer 10

No, because they haven't been hitting and pitching that well lately.
