Why aren’t the fan base completely behind the Phillies yet?

Why aren’t the fan base completely behind the Phillies yet?

(Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons) If you would’ve told me before the season that the Phillies would be leading the division in August, I’d have told you that the ball park would be packed every night. I would’ve said the atmosphere would be the same as what it was 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I haven’t…MORE

Two of my favorite Eagles enter the hall of fame tomorrow

Two of my favorite Eagles enter the hall of fame tomorrow

(Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons) Dawkins, Polamalu, and Ed Reed defined the safety position in the NFL for that entire era. I can honestly say that my childhood of being an Eagles fan would not have been the same had it not been for Brian Dawkins.   I think I speak for over half of…MORE

Did the Phillies do enough at the deadline?

Did the Phillies do enough at the deadline?

(Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)   The Phillies have become an analytic-driven team. Ops. is the one stat analytic experts drool over. It should come as no shock that both of the Phillies acquisitions can hit for solid power and get on base at a high rate.   It is August 1st and the MLB…MORE

Lebron continues to raise the bar

Lebron continues to raise the bar

(Photo Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons) I am done trying to convince people that hate Lebron to like him. It is like trying to convince someone that their political party, and or candidate of choice did something wrong. There are just certain things in life people can’t admit too.   It is not a secret that…MORE

The gang is back together and football is in the air

The gang is back together and football is in the air

(Picture Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)   In the beginning, the Eagles had Foles working with the first team. However, the good news is that Wentz is cleared for 11-on-11 drills and has been working more with the first team each day.   After a long offseason to bask in their super bowl glory, the Eagles…MORE

Have the Phillies missed the boat on adding a reliever?

Have the Phillies missed the boat on adding a reliever?

July 26th, 2018, the Phillies sit at 57-44 and have a game and half lead on the Braves in the division. Fresh off of taking 2 of 3 from the Dodgers, I think people need to stop asking if the Phillies are a good team. Like Rhys Hoskins said after yesterday’s game, “We are a…MORE

Memories of the old days as Eagles report to camp

Memories of the old days as Eagles report to camp

There was absolutely nothing that could beat it. From the mid 90’s up until the Chip Kelly era, the Eagles called Lehigh University their summer home for training camp. It was the countless days spent watching the Eagles at Lehigh that shaped me into the die-hard Eagles fan that I am today. Despite wishes of…MORE

Are the Sixers better than last year?

Are the Sixers better than last year?

As we all know, the Sixers never got to make the big splash they wanted to this offseason. However, they did make some moves that I am a fan of. In the process, the Sixers were able to get rid of some dead weight. Guys like Justin Anderson, TLC, and Holmes didn’t have a role…MORE

After a dejecting week, just remember one thing.

After a dejecting week, just remember one thing.

Before you read this, don’t expect anything long or informational. My hope is too just send anyone who reads this into the weekend with positive vibes. If you are a Philadelphia sports fan who is feeling down about the Phillies and Sixers, have no fear. It certainly is a bummer that the Phils and Sixers…MORE

Sixers lose out on Kawhi day after Phil’s miss out on Machado

Sixers lose out on Kawhi day after Phil’s miss out on Machado

You can’t fault the Spurs for taking that deal with the Raptors. They were not going to get a better deal than that. If the reports are to be believed, it’s easy to see why the Sixers never got far into the trade discussions with the Spurs. First it was Manny Machado and now it’s…MORE
