A Rubber Door

Sorry for another YouTube post, but I hardly ever post about sports, so unless you know me personally, you probably don’t have an idea how I live and die with the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. I also follow the Sixers, but the NBA is such a horrible product, I wouldn’t call myself a devoted [...]

The Phillies finally beat the rest of the major leagues at something. That it’s losing shouldn’t be taken lightly. The Phillies aren’t just good at losing, they have perfected it and done everything in their might to ensure no one else in no other sport can match them in ineptitude. The [...]

My parents are not from here - they were born in Jamaica and moved to Philadelphia mere months before I was born. They could have moved anywhere, but chose Philly. That choice is the root of my love affair with Philadelphia sports teams. Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers - they’re my teams [...]

This weekend the already Yankees/Red Sox focused national coverage will become even more so.  With the heated rivalry starting up again with 5 games in 4 days, you can forget hearing about anything else until Tuesday at best.
Of the 5 games, all but tonight’s second [...]

Just when it seems it couldn’t get worse for the Phillies.
The season has been horrible. They are 11.5 games behind the Mets. The manager is on the hotseat as are two thirds of the outfield and every pitcher not named Tom Gordon. Their “best” pitcher was arrested for beating his wife in [...]

Billy Wagner says that the Phillies have “as much talent talent as [the Mets]“. That “there is something lacking there”. That the team needs to be broken up. The funny thing is that the papers disregard him. The Phillies laugh it off. You may not like some of the things that [...]
