Three minor league players added to Phillies’ 40-man roster

Outfielder Quintin Berry, lefthander Yohan Flande and righthander Jesus Sanchez had their contracts selected to the Philadelphia Phillies’ 40-man roster, the club announced today.

Berry, who turns 25 on Saturday, spent this past season with Double-A Reading. He hit .266 with five home runs, 28 RBIs and 48 stolen bases in 135 games and played exclusively in center field. A fifth-round selection in the 2006 draft, Berry has 173 stolen bases in four minor league seasons.

Flande, 23, split the season between Single-A Clearwater and Reading. In a combined 25 starts, he went 10-5 with a 3.40 ERA and allowed six home runs in 145.2 innings. Flande, a native of the Dominican Republic, was originally signed by the Phillies as an amateur free agent in 2004.

Phillies dethroned in Bronx

For 371 days, over thousands of miles — from spring training in Clearwater, Fla., to 18 cities across the majors, even on an afternoon in May at the White House — they were hailed as champions of baseball. It was an impressive reign, filled with star-making performances and countless memories.

And it ended so abruptly.

It came to a close Wednesday night in the South Bronx. The Phillies passed the crown to the New York Yankees, 7-3, in Game 6 of the World Series, and when it was over, many of them lingered in the dugout and gazed at their vanquishers, who were celebrating with “We Are The Champions” blaring in the background.

“I watched it,” said tortured closer Brad Lidge, the reality only starting to set in inside a quiet clubhouse. “It makes you remember how last year we were able to do the same thing ourselves. We came really close this year, and I think every one of us feels like we have the capability to do it again next year.”

Utley’s record-tying 5th World Series HR helps Phils cut Yanks lead to 3-2

By the ninth inning, Phillies fans were preparing for the worst.

The New York Yankees were at it again, chipping away at a dwindling lead and threatening to take away the Phils’ World Series title right there at Citizens Bank Park.

Desperate to hang on, somehow Chase Utley and the Phillies did. Derek Jeter grounded into a double play, Mark Teixeira struck out, and Philadelphia staved off the Yankees and elimination with an 8-6 win in Game 5 on Monday night.
