Tuesday night’s win was one of the most non-Phillies, Phillies win my eyes have ever seen. That’s truly saying a lot given I said the exact same thing just three days ago about Sunday’s win. The sudden turn around of the Phils and the recent wave of doing the exact opposite of what they […]
When the Phillies signed Bryce Harper to a mega 13-year, $330 million contract in March of 2019, they expected him to step up in the clutch moments like he did on Sunday afternoon. When the Phillies drafted Bryson Stott, they will say that they eventually expected the same thing from Stott that they did from […]
An absolute bombshell was dropped in the Philly sports world while I was at the gym this morning (I workout sometimes). Joe Girardi is out as Phillies manager. Rob Thomson interim — Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyNBCS) June 3, 2022 After writing a mere three days ago about the pros and cons of firing Joe […]
With the recent news of a multi-part, Derek Jeter “Last Dance style” documentary coming out in two months, it got me thinking: what parts of Philly sports history deserve to be told in a national spotlight? (It also got me thinking that if Derek Jeter played for any other team but the Yankees, ESPN would […]
This Phillies team has been more disappointing than a rainy day at the beach. The 2022 Phillies have been downright embarrassing. Whether it be their dumbfounding defensive miscues, inopportune cold streaks at the plate, or the bullpen serving up their best batch of an Italian grandmother’s meatballs in big situations, this squad has been intolerably […]
Here is my pitch for a city-wide slogan regarding the Philadelphia sports teams: Philly sports, where the hope is plentiful, but the pain and suffering is endless. That’s the kind of Tuesday it was in the Delaware Valley. The day had every bit of predictable frustration you could possibly imagine. The Phillies played way […]
The old saying goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Glenn Rivers (Sidebar: no, I will not call him Doc. There are two Philly sports related doctors as far as I’m concerned — Erving and Halladay — and quite frankly, Rivers isn’t cool enough nor has he done enough in this town to earn that nickname. […]
Philadelphia sports are the real life embodiment of Michael Corleone from The Godfather: Part III, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” The Eagles have resembled that quote pretty much every year since 2017, the Sixers have been that way since they decided to start trying to win basketball games, […]
“I fucking hate this place.” After three errors a and a few sarcastic cheers later, Alec Bohm found himself disgruntled with his current situation as a Phillie.After he sparked an eight inning comeback and gave an emotional apology post-game, Bohm has never been more connected to Philly sports fans. You see, Alec Bohm isn’t the […]
Despite Doc Rivers best efforts to blow leads and force Furkan Korkmaz down our throats, the Philadelphia 76ers are a half game out of first place in the Eastern Conference. Yet, if you reside anywhere outside of the Delaware Valley, you likely didn’t know that. only Doc Rivers could start an overtime down by […]
