Oil Cans Not Oil Slicks [podcast]

DC — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:31:21 +0000

Philly SportsCast #186 – July 1, 2009 While it’s hard to watch the Phillies’ lame-ass efforts against the Braves, it is encouraging to see what the Flyers are doing on the first day of free agency. However, nothing is for certain. We’re looking for a monster second half from the Phils – provided they can get [...]

Phillies Are Embarrassed

DC — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:02:26 +0000

The Phillies managed just two hits off Jair Jurrjens – the first hit with two outs in the seventh inning – and the Braves gave the Phillies the business 11-1 tonight. What a mess of a game and the Phillies have a small-as-it-gets lead on the NL East – just a half-game ahead of the Marlins.

Knuble Now An Ex-Flyer

DC — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:57:46 +0000

Seems a very pissed off Mike Knuble did not want to find out whether or not the Flyers were going to up their offer. The Flyers free-agent has agreed to a 2-year contract with the Capitals this afternoon. The Daily News is reporting the deal at $2.8 million per year. You knew someone was going [...]

Flames Sign Prized Bouwmeester

DC — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 03:12:30 +0000

Jay Bouwmeester signed a multiyear contract with the Calgary Flames today. Flames general manager Darryl Sutter traded Jordan Leopold and a draft pick to the Florida Panthers at the NHL draft last weekend to acquire Bouwmeester’s rights – which looks like the best move on draft day for sure. Bouwmeester, 25, was due to become an unrestricted [...]

Phillies Fall To Atlanta, 5-4

DC — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 03:00:08 +0000

Martin Prado stroked a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning and the Braves beat the Phils 5-4 tonight. It was the Braves’ first home win over the Phillies since 2007 as the team went 0-9 against the Phillies at Turner Field last year. Chan Ho Park was on the hill for the Philllies as he gave [...]

Photo Of The Day – Chris Coste’s Biggest Fan

DC — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:55:32 +0000

Ran across this guy a few games ago during a home broadcast of a Phillies game. Perhaps this is reflective of the team’s record at home because if your rockin’ a Chris Coste sign at Citizen’s Bank Park – times are really desperate.

Phillies Hang On For The Win – Wheeeew!

DC — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:58:42 +0000

Jamie Moyer won back-to-back starts, Brad Lidge saved the game and the Phillies took two of three from Toronto. But it was scary. Lidge came in with the Phillies clinging to a one run lead and faced Raul Chavez who laid down a bunt that has Lidge to test that right knee by sprinting off the [...]

The Phillies Just Stink Right Now

Talk amongst yourselves… (thanks Pair for the headline – can’t write about it anymore)

With Pick Sixers Clearly Focused On Future

DC — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:23:26 +0000

The Sixers drafted Jrue (pronounced Drew) Holiday, a 6-foot-3 guard out of UCLA, with the No. 17-pick overall at New York City’s Madison Square Garden last night and with the pick essentially told its fans that the team is rebuilding. Instead of going for flash with either Ty Lawson (North Carolina) or Jeff Teague (Wake Forest), [...]

Bernard Hopkins Lays Into Donovan McNabb

DC — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:20:42 +0000

Philadelphia’s own boxing living legend, Bernard Hopkins, let his feelings for Donovan McNabb be known to Howard Eskin on WIP yesterday… “I think he plays for the moment, whether it’s winning or losing,” Hopkins said. “I think he plays to win, but I don’t think his demeanor and I don’t think his personality fits to [...]
