Phillies - Mets game and what could have been


Phillies 

It's a shame tonight's Phillies - Mets game doesn't mean more than it does. Thankfully the Phils have been playing well recently.

You never know how any series can go. But, maybe it's possible for Manuel's team to climb to the .500 level by season's end.

What 1960s event is most comparable to the top level at Veterans Stadium?

For those who don't know, the tongue-in-cheek answer is found in my Yahoo Sports article:
Five Ways that Veterans Stadium was Better Than Citizens Bank Park

Flyers

What is the name of the Flyers ECHL affiliate?

For those who don't know, the answer is found in my Yahoo Sports article:
NHL lockout could serve some Philadelphia Flyers' Purposes


Eagles

All the best to Andy Reid and his team tonight. This season isn't just about football this year for the Eagles' head coach.

I wish him a SUPER BOWL year.


Sixers

The 76ers major summer trade should help the remaining members of last season's playoff group to become that much better.

This has become a far more balanced squad through all of the offseason moves. Most importantly, they will be led by Doug Collins who is ready to take his basketball team to new heights.


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.

76ers 

Game 7 didn't turn out like Sixers fans hoped. Too many turnovers, poor shot selection, etc. But, those are signs of a young team.

In the spirit of all great sports fans, we wish the Boston Celtics the best from here on out.

This Philly squad played good defense and never gave up. With whatever roster changes are coming, the new ownership group has their heart in the right place and that gives me great confidence that better days should be ahead.

At the beginning of the season, I had predicted a run for the Sixers that would last at least two playoff rounds. I offered that comment based upon Doug Collins strong leadership and the spirit within his team.

To fall one game short of that predicted goal leaves me satisfied on a purely gut-level. On an infinitely more important plane, is how happy I am to see the great game of basketball moving to its rightful spot in the city of Philadelphia. That spot is directly within the consciousness of the other three professional sports teams and their fans.

Onto next season. Go Sixers!!!

AS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON 2/1/12.....Before they beat the Bulls in the first playoff round and before the current Celtics postseason matchup.


76ers 

There were those who said the Doug Collins-led Sixers team was good. But, when they faced the better teams, they would fall.

That seemed logical. But, it was also a reliance on who the team had been in the past. It did not represent a view of who the group might become, or who they are right now.

Their win over the Eastern Conference leading Chicago Bulls was no fluke. This is a sound defensive team, with spirit. Their coach is a one of the best in the League. Period.

If all of their key people remain fully healthy in this shortened season, this young team will win more than 40 games and could win at least two playoff rounds.

That old 76ers theme song is playing louder and louder and louder and louder as every week passes.

One, two, three, four, five...."Clap your hands everybody for the Philadelphia 76ers..."

Sixers

A one-point victory in Game 2 to counter the one-point loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1.

As a good friend and basketball fan told me tonight, Doug Collins has this deep team playing tough defense.

Got a split in Beantown. Nice!

Sixers - Celtics Playoffs, Phillies Catcher Ruiz should hit cleanup and Preakness Stakes Contenders

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.

Sixers

Closed out the Bulls on Thursday and open the second round series on the road against the Boston Celtics tonight.

This young team should have the legs to run in Game 1, but will they be able to channel the momentum they have gained into a victory?

Getting the jump in this round would be significant.

Phillies

It seems hard to imagine this specific collection of players being anything more than middling this season.

They have some great players, some poor ones and a majority who are just average. That would seem to indicate a record around .500 by season's end.

Something unusual would have to happen for them to push towards 90 wins this year.

Sixers

Close out the Bulls on Thursday. Celebrate a fine achievement and move on to round 2. It's as simple as that.

Flyers

Assess, add some parts and go again next year. It's as simple as that.

Here is a hockey story that all ice fans will like: The mystery behind these 1970s Topps hockey cards is revealed.


Phillies

This team is nothing like the one that went on a five-year run.

The 1979 and 1982 seasons should be studied by all willing fans. Yes, the Phillies can rebound, play well and make the playoffs. But, that is far from guaranteed.

Baseball cards
