Ten reasons the Phillies will be buyers

It's "citizens Bank House Of Horrors" For The Reds

From Elias: The Reds fell behind, 3-0, to Cliff Lee in Philadelphia, but rebounded on Jay Bruce's two-run, sixth-inning homer off Lee and Joey Votto's solo shot in the eighth inning off Antonio Bastardo. But those heroics proved to be in vain as the Phillies won, 5-3, scoring two in the bottom of the eighth with an RBI groundout and sacrifice fly in a rally that included a Ryan Howard infield hit! The Reds are now 11-23 (.324) at Citizens Bank Park, their second-lowest winning percentage at any venue where they have played at least 20 games; they put together a 15-34 (.306) won-lost mark from 1892 to 1899 at Oriole Park, the home of a Baltimore Orioles team that then played in the National League. (The Reds are also 0-2 in postseason play at Citizens Bank Park; they were no-hit in one of those losses, by Roy Halladay.)

MLB - Halladay's Decade of Dominance

Roy Halladay had a dominant 10-year stretch from 2002-2011, when he made 303 starts, winning 170 of them with an ERA+ of 148 (ERA+ is a pitcher's ERA compared to the rest of the league and adjusted by ballpark, where 100 is average). Since the start of baseball's Modern Era in 1900, Halladay is one of just 8 pitchers to make 300 or more starts over a 10-year stretch and post an ERA+ as high as 148. The other names are awesome.

MLB - Halladay Loses the Zone

His 17 walks in 7 starts this year are as many as he had in his 1st 15 starts last season.
