Wow, what a weekend! Not only some time off to spend with the family, cook up some burgers and hot dogs but also a very heavy sports schedule for all the fanatics.

So I'll start with the obvious. Roy Halladay and his perfect game.

The Phillies - A Quick Hit

So it appears the the old man has wrapped it up. Not Charlie and a tuna fish sandwich but our loveable local Jamie Moyer. I've got to hand it to him, he can pitch and has proven himself healthy. He certainly has what it takes to get major league hitters out and will make a solid 5th starter.

What was more important for the Phillies however, was Kyle Kendrick's near domination of the spring training circuit. The kid proved again that a little seasoning at triple-A last year was time well spent and he deserves a spot on the big club. His attitude of taking the "demotion" to the bullpen shows he's not only a team player but his respect for the game of baseball. Lesser men would have complained that they deserved the starting spot in today's ego driven major leagues. Kudos to you Kyle!

So yeah, I took a hiatus from writing for a while. It's not like Philly sports was all that exciting since the Phillies' exit from the World Series. The 76ers still continue to bore even after the latest A.I. experiment. The Flyers are back to their "look like a contender to look like an also-ran to look like a contender" roller-coaster ride and the Eagles, well, lets just say, I'm tired of the "seems like we're close but reality slaps us in the face" approach each year.

So that brings me to the Phillies. The only team in this town that seems to have a legit shot at anything this year. Overall, I liked my chances so much, I bought more tickets when the single games went on sale. But enough about what I'm doing, here's my take on the 2010 Philadelphia Phillies:

The Eagles, The Sixers and Boredom

So the Eagles keep winning. Whoo Hoo! Well not so much. Actually it's the other teams giving the games away by not putting a pathetic Eagles team away early. This team could be so much better even

Pop-ups and Strikeouts, The highlights of World Series Game 3

Well, I have watched all the Phillies playoff games this year and although the bats have come alive, the hitting so far this World Series has been horrid short of Utley's performance in game 1 and Jayson Werth's performance in game 3.
