Flyers
If the Flyers can win tonight, the manner in which they do so could serve as an indication as to whether the Penguins will be able to fight back in this series.
If the Penguins win, it's basically the second battle in a postseason war.
Phillies
Pat Burrell will retire as a Phillie in a nice gesture on both sides.
His exhilarating hit in the World Series and lead in the resulting victory parade were such fitting ends to his time in red pinstripes. The era of good Phillies feelings continues.
Nice effort by Joey B. last night against those Marlins. More of that and this staff could be better than expected.
Baseball cards
For those of us who are old enough to remember when baseball cards were king
When Baseball Cards were King this week is always a special time of year.
The opening of any new season was always previewed by Topps newest edition of cards. Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of cardboard gold never truly fade away.
