Philadelphia Phillies' Playoff Push Delayed + MLB Wild Card Expansion

Headline Topic: The Phillies and MLB Wild Card expansion

The Phillies' game with the Mets was postponed due to rain. So, Cloyd has been pushed to Thursday and Hamels will go tomorrow. With every win being vital, we'll see if the Phils can pickup (or will lose) a 0.5 game tonight. 


Yesterday's Yahoo feature about the expansion of baseball's playoff format generated some nice numbers and interesting responsive commentary. If you are interested reading more, here's the link:
Major League Baseball should implement a Wild Card within each division


Recent Headline Topic: The Eagles

Another Eagles last-moment win, as they defeated the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

With all deep analysis left to those who have far more football experience than I do, can a team continue to play the way that it has and still win on a consistent basis?


Classic Headline Topic:  The Best Phillies of the Current Era

Another list has generated some interesting debate and some strong page view numbers.

Classic Headline Topic: The anniversary of Pete Rose's 4,192 hit.

Pete broke Ty Cobb's hit record on 9/11/85. The man was unique in the annals of baseball history. 

For those who are interested, my recent feature comments on Rose's time with the Phillies and the complex feelings that many of us have about his gambling issues:

Classic Headline Topic: Three Flyers' Legends

Each of these classic Flyers' legends deserved their own feature article. 

It was great to see both Brian Propp and Dave Poulin at the Winter Classic Alumni game last New Year's Eve Day and to be with them in the locker room after the game. Both are classy gentleman.

Tim Kerr wasn't involved with the game, but it was interesting to learn that he has done some marvelous charity work for children since retiring. 

Here is a link to the story about Propp:
