TY to over ---740,000 readers---of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11.http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html
Phillies -
Halladay truly showed why he is one of, if not, the best in the game. After allowing those three first inning runs he settled down and also mowed them down. He clipped the Cardinals offensive wings.
Ask yourself how many pitchers would have survived late into that type of series opening playoff game, like Doc did?
Now, Cliff takes over.
The Phils face a great test against Chris Carpenter, who is a superb pitcher. Win today and it would be very challenging for St. Louis to take three in a row.
Lose today and Tony LaRussa would have the split he wanted.
Flyers -
Meanwhile, off in Flyerville... With preseason games behind them, the team will be making its final preparations for the home opener.
Will Pronger open the season? Probably, unless he feels his back isn't ready.
Will Jaromir Jagr make an offensive impact? Yes.
Will the impressive Matt Read be one of the teams top 12 forwards after his impressive camp? Yes.
Bryzgalov continues to assume his role as the new top guy in net. This process will take more than a few September weeks to fully play out.
Coach Laviolette is a sharp leader who maintains consistency and puts his players into positions to be effective.
So, if the roster is relatively healthy this year, don't be surprised if the Flyers outperform expectations this season.
