Mama said there’d be days like this
Wow what a tough loss lastnight and such a hard pill to swallow. Our starting pitchers are starting to come around and show some potential. But our bull-pen needs a swift kick in the rear. As suspected Blanton came on and gave a SOLID performance. Going 7 strong innings only giving up 6 hits and…

What do the Phills need to do?
AS THE PHILLIES jet off to their favorite place – that is, anyplace but here – so much is going wrong that you can pretty much pick on anything right now as a problem and be right. Except that you’d be wrong. Because nothing is wrong with the Phillies that more starting pitching cannot fix.…

Back to back sweeps? Ouch
Ryan Howard spent two nights in the hospital this weekend. Raul Ibanez is injured, Jimmy Rollins is getting booed and not even a strong outing by Cole Hamels is enough to boost the slumping Phillies these days. Brian Roberts had the decisive hit for the second straight game, a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning,…

Phillies lose yet again…WTF
Thanks Ryan Howard for coming off the bench as sick as you were with the flu to hit a 3 run jack to give us the 5-3 lead. Only to watch that slip away from Madson in the bottom of the ninth inning. Giving up a solo home-run then also a 2 run home-run as…

Kapono knows his range is key to this team
You can’t accuse Jason Kapono of not understanding his role. Yesterday, Kapono, the 76ers’ brand new designated shooter – acquired from the Toronto Raptors last week in exchange for rough-and-tumble power forward Reggie Evans – spoke about how he might help the Sixers. Although clearly an exaggeration, Kapono said he realized he was a shooter…

Ivey will opt out of his contract.
Keith Glass clearly believes Royal Ivey is worth more than $959,111 to an NBA team. That’s what Ivey was scheduled to earn as the veteran’s minimum with the 76ers next season. That’s what Ivey walked away from yesterday, declining the player option on the second leg of his contract. “This was really the plan all…
