2005 Philadelphia Phillies season

The 2005 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 123rd season in the history of the franchise. The Phillies finished in second place in the National League East with a record of 88–74, two games behind the Atlanta Braves, and one game behind the NL Champion Houston Astros, who won the NL Wild-Card race for the second consecutive season. The Phillies were managed by their new manager Charlie Manuel, as they played their home games at Citizens Bank Park. First-baseman Ryan Howard was named the National League's Rookie-of-the-Year for the 2005 season.

The Phillies again contended for the wild card down to the last day of the season. But, an 0–6 record against the eventual wild card winning Houston Astros doomed them, including a crushing loss against them when they were one out away from victory. As a result of another year out of the playoffs, general manager Ed Wade was fired at seasons end.
