Fantastic. Outstanding. Spectacular. Masterful. Anyway you want to say it, Cole Hamels was all of that and beyond tonight against Mike Minor and the Braves. The three runs the Phillies scored tonight would be enough for Cole who shut out Atlanta in a complete game effort. The runs would come in the first inning, and […]
Antonio Dixon (pictured) is set for a great bounce back year. (Photo courtesy of Wikipedia) Jim Washburn might be the happiest position coach in the NFL. After already having a decent group of players, the Eagles come into the 2012 season with quite possibly the best Defensive Line in the NFL. After a […]
Wikipedia Commons Michael Vick is entering his tenth season in the NFL. In Vick’s 2011 season, he played 13 games with 253 completions for 3,303 yards out of 423 attempts (59.8%). He averaged 7.81 yards per completion and his longest completion being 73 yards. He had 14 interceptions and 3 fumbles. […]
With Pronger's career likely over, losing Matt Carle, and Andrej Meszároš likely to miss almost the whole season with surgery for a torn achilles tendon, the Flyers are short in the Defensive catergory. In the picture above, that is Blues defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo, who is an option for the Flyers. They already missed out of Ryan Suter, […]
Last night was just another example of the 2012 Phillies. Poor play, no drive to play for win and the inability to hit with runners in scoring position. Vance Worley allowed four earned runs on six hits through 3 2/3 innings, but left early with what was later diagnosed by Charlie Manuel as "stomach issues". […]
Happier Times- Game 3 of the 2008 World Series, the game I waited 15 years to see. The 2012 Phillies are a disaster. There's no getting around that. At 49-60, 13.5 games out of the playoffs, they are playing out the schedule. The only point of these games is to find out who should be […]
Yeah, we boo'ed Santa Claus. Yes, it's a tough town. Yes, Philadelphia phans will boo a bad team. But we're the best damn fans in the world. Last night marked the end of a 257 consecutive game sell-out streak, a National League record. Yes, the Red Sox have a longer streak in the AL, but […]
Some nights you have it, some nights you don't. Ben Sheets of the Atlanta Braves had it tonight, while Vance Worley had anything but "it." Tonight also marked the end of the 257 consecutive sellouts streak, 273 including the postseasons. Interesting, no? Worley tonight lasted just 3 & 2/3 innings allowing four earned runs on […]
Looks a little empty, doesn't it? The park is currently holding 41,665 fans. The Phillies had sold out 257 consecutive games, the second longest in the majors (Fenway Park has been sold out for 773 straight games) before it all came to a halt tonight. Counting the postseason, the streak went to 273 games. Sellouts […]
The Phillies are finally out of last place. Although they don't hold sole possession of the cellar, they still remain 10 games under .500 and 16 games back in the division. While sitting 12 1/2 games back in the Wild Card. There is a chance that the Phillies could pull a miracle run. But that […]
