Will the real Philadelphia Phillies please stand up? Is this a tease or has the team finally come together as expected over three years ago? The Phils recently swept the SF Giants, but should that be an indicator of this team's ability considering the Giants are awful. The offense has been effective, even without Thome in the lineup. The starting pitching has been the best in years, but the middle relief is still a big question. If the relief pitching turns out to be the down fall of this team, it just furthers the case that Ed Wade is a completely inept GM. He let two of the better relief pitchers or this team go for nothing in the of season. I want the Phils to succeed and win, but Ed Wade needs to go and if the Phils do win this year, the likelihood of that happening will be slim. NHL I miss you! A spring without Flyers playoff action has really made me long for the dropping of the puck. I have a real beef with local sports channel Comcast SportsNet. While the NHL has not played a game, the Flyers AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms are up 1 game to 0 in the Calder Cup Championships. One game of the entire playoffs has been aired. Why! I would absolutely love to watch hockey in any form right now. If if the second rate sports cities like Columbus, Nashville or don't feel like dropping some coin on quality players, then get out of the league. The strike can not continue past the summer, I need Hockey this fall. |
