You just got picked up from school. The teacher called home to your dad today because you were acting up. You have a juice box in dads spotless Accord and you accidentally spill it making a sticky mess on the seat. Dad takes a deep breath as your life flashes before your eyes and he […]

Yes, you read that headline correctly, it is May 28th and our Fightin Phils are floating near the top of the division at 29-21 just a half game back from the Atlanta Braves. Seriously, the Braves. Over the last half a decade, I watched A LOT of bad baseball in Philadelphia. It was getting to […]

For the first time in 6 years, the Phillies are giving you reasons to head down to the ballpark and watch them. They’re young, they’re talented, they have flame-throwers and they’re winning. “But why aren’t people showing up?”   Has been the main question surrounding this Phillies team to begin the season. Usually when a […]

My absolute favorite thing to do is reminisce about the old days and remember the best times. If Bruce Springsteen ever did a remake of the music video for Glory Days, it’d probably just be a biopic of my life. I cannot wait to be 40 (I’m 23 now) and start every sentence with “Remember […]

Anytime the Phillies play the Cardinals I have nightmarish flashbacks to the 2011 NLDS. Halladay working out of the jam of all jams in the first inning only to catch the loss, Ryan Howard going down during the final out, Cliff Lee blowing the lead, Raul Ibanez home run that was blown back into the […]

There was a Saturday last Spring where all three teams, the Phillies, Flyers and Sixers all played at home. It was a lunar eclipse of Philly sports…and no one cared. Every team sucked and there were no playoff implications. It was just an incredible excuse to get drunk in a South Philly parking lot. Fast forward to […]

When the Eagles hired Chip Kelly as their head coach, he was seen as a trailblazer. Kelly was seen to bring a whole new dynamic and style of coaching to the NFL. Kelly was also seen as the thinking-outside-the-box candidate for the Eagles.   When the Phillies promoted Pete Mackanin to Special Advisor to GM […]

First, we had this: And then, we had this: Two tweets. Eleven minutes apart. The sports Gods saw us mocking the Vikings “SKOL” chant while celebrating Markelle Fultz’ return and thought, “Wow, those mother fuckers are having wayyyy too much fun”. So, in typical Philadelphia sports fashion, everything crashed and burned in such a twisted […]

This weekend in Philadelphia sports was easily the biggest attention grabber since the Birds won the Super Bowl. From the Sixers clinching a playoff spot, Villanova heading back to the Final Four and Michael Bennett already being a nuisance, the headlines were spicy. But, the most important Philly sports news that came from this weekend […]

This morning the Phillies introduced their newest prize in, 2015 Cy Young Award winner, Jake Arrieta. The importance of the signing is two-fold. One, is that it helps this team immediately, both on the field and in the clubhouse. Yes, the regression is real with Jake Arrieta. He’s seen his average fastball velocity dip two […]
