       So it has taken me a few days to recover from the collosal embarrassment called the Eagles-Bengals game.  I think I may have finally watched the last game for the 2008 season.  This team is an outright embarrassment to watch and as a season-ticket holder, I duly request a refund.  To go up against a 1-8 team that can hardly move the ball and end in a tie is such a disgrace that heads need to roll in this organization.  Let me start where I think it should start:

So the World Series is won and this town is starting to wind down.  We have our new GM and the day of full access to free agents is less than a week away.  I've talked in the past of the need to sign both Jamie Moyer and Scott Eyre.  Well, we have Scott Eyre for another year at a reasonable 2 million a year.  So we have one down and a few more to go.

Another game down and the Flyers are literally on their backsides.  Having started the seaon on a losing streak, the Flyers came back with a solid winning streak even while play questionable defense.  Well the losing is back considering last nights lackluster performance against Ottawa.  Here is my take on what is wrong with our team on ice:

Well, the Phillies went with the safe pick on their next GM.  I can't say I'm surprised with their pick of Amaro.  He is afterall "one of them".  Having served in multiple capacities since his days as a batboy.  It is this familiarity that has me most concerned.  Will he step up and push for something when the ownership pushes back?  Does he have the ability to convince them something is the right thing to do?  When Gillick came to town, it was a breath of fresh air in that someone from the outside finally can come in here and get rid of some of the inbreed ways of thinking.  In doing so, Gillick changed the organization in ways we may never know but got them to see that this team can be winners if the right money is spent in the rig Read More »

 It has been quite a long time since these eyes have seen anything as beautiful as the Phillies parade today.  What a sight along the parade route.  It was fitting for Pat to lead the charge since he's been with the team the longest.  The rest of the parade provided a look into the eyes of the team.  A team that played like champions throughout the ups and downs.  I sure felt proud today to be a Philadelphian.

I was also fortunate enough to have tickets to CBP and hustled it down there in record time.  It was then that it all hit me on how fortunate we all are to have such a team.  Granted, over the years, some moves have been made that didn't work out but this team truly loves the fans.  Having sat and listened t ...

I spent quite a few hours over my lifetime supporting my Philadelphia teams.  Typically this is in the form of watching on TV but I've done my fair share of carnivals as well.  I had yet to experienced the kind of intense desire to win or the relief that comes with winning a championship than what I did last night.  For my beloved Philadelphia Phillies to go out and knock off a very good Tampa Bay Rays team and do so in front of the home crowd was a magical moment indeed.  I can't recall the last time I jumped and screamed with the neighbors on my block and release all this pent up frustration.  What a beautiful sight that pitch from Brad Lidge was last night.

So I go off on vacation with the family and look what I come back to:

Eagles:
DeSean, do you have any idea on how to score a touchdown?  Not since Leon Lett have a seen such preemptive celebration turn sour.  Luckily for you that your teamates picked you up and scored that touchdown.

Whoa, is it me or did the Eagles really improve over the past few weeks?  That Jackson kid sure made an impression on me.  I think the Eagles may have a serious threat in this young man.  I might actually have to revise my prediction for the Eagles this year.

Another week gone and he’s what has me sore:

Hey Jimmy Rollins!  How about shutting that hot air hole under your nose and just play ball?  You whine and cry about the fans in this town booing and tell us that we’re not “helping” the situation.  Well let me tell you a few other things that are helping the situation:

The Weekly Sore Point

Here we go again, another Phillies loss to tighten the race in the NL East.  This team is increasingly frustrating as they are explosive.  Having watched their games this week and to reiterate my prediction that they'll be playing golf this post-season, here are the things that make me sore:
