Flyers Down 0-2 So Whose Fault is it?
In any playoff series , in any sport, when a team is down 0-2 the blame game starts with one person and ends with another. The Flyers situation is no different. Down 0-2 and headed home. They played badly game one, maybe even giving the game away to the Pens. Not taking anything away front what the Penguins do but the Flyers truly beat themselves in game 1. In game 2 the Flyers put...

Get the Golf Clubs Out; Flyers Season All But Over
Now down 0-3 to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference Finals , it certainly looks grim for the Fly guys. They haven't had the benefit of even officiating, and they are down some key players but you have to hand it to the Pens. They've out played the Flyers in pretty much ever facet of the game. The mistakes the Flyers have made the Pens have taken advantage. The...

Speaking of getting the golf clubs out...
Flyers, leave yours in the closet. Everybody else, it's been a while, so I'm just going to throw out a few random thoughts here...Trevor Immelman won the Masters. Nice job, man. This guy has been around for a few years and is a good, solid player. He'd only won once since he joined the Tour, but like we say every time somebody that's not named Phil, Tiger, or...

How Long Can the Phils Keep This Up?

During this offensive explosion the Phils have been on, more times then not the Fightins' fall behind early. The real question is how long can they keep this up?

An Absolute CLASSIC so far....
There is about 13:00 minutes left in the 3rd overtime between Pittsburgh and Detroit, it's been a classic so far. Great hockey, Fluery has been spectacular in overtime, Osgood hasn't had to be as good but he's made the saves he's had to. Can't say I'm as up-in-arms about the goalie interference calls on Detroit as Pierre McGuire is I can understand both calls...

Good Riddance...
After watching Cincinnati Red?s ace pitcher Edinson Volquez toss for the second time this season, I am more than a little relieved that the Reds will be missing this postseason. The Reds are beyond dreadful on the road (7-21 when Volquez isn?t pitching) and will not even sniff the wild card for this 2008 baseball season. It is not even fun to watch Edinson Volquez throw against...

I Can't Take Another Boston Championship
The final score doesn't really do it justice. 108-102, a six point win by the Celtics over Kobe and the Lakers in game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Celtics led by more then twenty points early in the 3rd quarter. So whats going on? Clearly the Lakers have no answer for what can be a high-octane offense, and also no answer for the C's tough defense. However, I still believe the...

All the talk during the first official "mini-camp" of the year, or "OTA's", has been Donovan McNabb's dreaded shoulder tendinitis.

Will the Flyers Draft a Goaltender?
The 2008 NHL Entry Draft will begin on Friday and the Flyers unlike last year pick late in the first round. The Fly guys seem to have a nice young group of forwards and defensemen who may be ready to contribute in years to come. One glaring weakness in the Flyers farm system is goaltending. During last year it was clear that if Martin Biron or Antero Nittymaki would have been injured...

Let's Meet JA Happ
JA Happ will get the start tonight against the Mets. He'll be opposed by Johan Santana and the Mets, so it's safe to say that no one is expecting a complete game shut out from Happ. Which may be a good thing for him, expectations wouldn't be that high no matter who he was facing, but facing Santana helps that much more. However, Happ will have revenge on his mind. His...

Defending The Phils
Phils GM Pat Gillick was unable to pull the trigger on a deal before today's "non-waiver" Trade Deadline at 4pm. Phils fans are no doubt upset by the inactivity, however, looking at what was available and the asking price for things that may have interest the Phils, coming out with nothing isn't a surprise.
