As the Phillies embark on the off-season, the first thing we have to look at is the status of the 25-man roster and then we can get around to talking about specific players.
Right now, it's safe to say that barring any trades, these players will be on the opening day 25-man roster...

0-5 Nets should be an easy target for the the Sixers coming off the drubbing the Celtics put on them.
There is really NO reason to over analyze this game. The Nets will be without:
Devin Harris
Yi Jianlian
Keyon Dooling
Chris Douglas-Roberts
Jarvis Hayes
Tony Battie

Everyone over the World Series? Yeah? OK, good.
The off-season moves quickly and I'm going to write a post about the Phillies' needs and the options out there this weekend, but there is already some news to report.
Cliff Lee's option was picked up (about as suspenseful...

I'm going try, I really am, to do a lot more Villanova stuff this year. I only got a post or two in last year. I've been a huge Nova fan for a very long time. They are down the street from my high school, I went to Rollie Massimino and then Steve Lappas camp every year, and...

First, let me get all things Yankees’ related out of the way…
They won this series fair and square. They were the better team, and this was the first time in the last 2 years, despite what experts might have thought, that we played a team better than us.
Certainly people...

Once again the Phillies' backs are against the wall. They have thrived in these kinds of situations during the regular season and post-season over the last 3 seasons. Can they do it one (or two) more times?
Here are my thoughts heading into Game 6...

One could argue the first game against Orlando was this season first test. But being that it was the first game I wouldn’t.
Tonight on the other hand IS. Even if it’s only the 4th game of the season.
You hear it all the time.
“This game is a measuring stick for...

I put this together because I was curious, and since I have a blog, I figured I'd share it with people who may or may not be interested as well.
These are the hitting stats for the 7 Phillies regulars who have participated in each of the last 3 post-seasons. Obviously there is...

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is it.
If we win tonight, we regain some hope and start talking about how if we can get to Pettitte on 3 days rest in NYC we can force a Game 7 and anything can happen in a Game 7 and so on and so forth.
If we lose, I start preparing all my off-season...

Regardless of what happens tonight – it was at least nice to watch the Eagles paste the Giants today, hopefully the Phillies can do the same to the Yankees.
I believe whoever wins tonight will win the series. Obviously that is not a stretch if the Yankees win, but if the Phillies...

Got that first win out of the way, in front of the home crowd no less. Now let's keep it going against the Knicks.
This game will have a much different feel than last night. The Bucks are offensively inept. That plays right into the Sixers weakness as they are still trying to...

The Phillies head home with a split, which was really all we could ask for. I didn't talk much about Game 2 because I didn't really think there was much to talk about. In my opinion, you tip your hat to A.J. Burnett. He was locating a 95 mph moving fastball and painting the...

Guys I am a little under the weather but I wanted to something where you can chat during and after the game.
Luckily for the Sixers the Phillies have an off day so there might actually be some supporters at the game and watching on TV – but not many. Right now the Sixers need...

Based on what I've been reading last night and into this morning, it appears as though Phillies' fans, Yankees' fans and many media members have completely forgotten that this is a 7-games series.
Don't get me wrong - the Game 1 win was huge (11 of the last 12 World...

That is the best advice I can give. Because if you don't take it and try to analyze the game you will walk away depressed with a feeling of hopelessness.
Why you ask?
Well number one the final score is dangerously misleading. The 99% of Philly fans who didn't watch and were...

Well, after what seems like an eternity, Game 1 is finally here. We've been going back and forth about who has the edge here, who has the edge there, but in the end, these teams are so evenly matched, it's probably just going to come down to who is the hotter team for the...

How can you not feel bad for them?
Their season opener get's smashed over the head with an anvil that is our Phillies taking on the "Skanks" in game one of the World Series.
That's on top of the second class citizen treatment this team gets in a town that typically...
