Sixers

The one-point loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1 could have been a win, but you can't have everything.

It would be best to take Game 2 tomorrow, because it would seemly overly challenging to win four out of a possible five games from a good team like this one is.
Phillies

Juan Pierre has sold me on his continuing ability to get on base and generate runs. He should play in left
field the majority of the time and hit no lower than second in every game.

Carlos Ruiz is having a breakout year. I would like to see him hit cleanup for a few games to see how it goes. He's mentally strong enough to handle whatever the results of that experiment would be.

Pence just isn't cutting it in Howard's spot.
Baseball cards

For those of us who are old enough to remember When Baseball Cards were King, the spring is always a special time of year.

Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of Topps cardboard gold never truly fade away.


Preakness Stakes

The second leg of the Triple Crown takes place on May 19, 2012. Here are the post positions for the contenders.


Hockey

Flyers

Now the Flyers must deal with the Devil(s). Umm.

Brodeur, Elias and the rest. Not a preferred opponent in my book, but that might simply be old memories kicking in.

As the NHL playoffs are so unpredictable, who knows how many games this series goes - or who the final victor will be.


Phillies

J-Roll hits first again tonight against the Cubs.

Chooch Ruiz comes through with another clutch hit. This guy continues to be underrated.

Phillies

Will Carlos Ruiz become the same type of offensive force that he was in 2010?

Which player will make an unexpectedly positive impact on the team this season?

Former Phillie question - Will Jamie Moyer make the Colorado Rockies team as a result of his spring training efforts?

These questions and many others will be answered as time moves forward. Play ball!!!!
