Cliff Lee Aims to End Phils 3-Game Skid

Even after Jimmy Rollins' 44th career leadoff homerun, the Phillies could not find a way to get a win in Arizona. Even more disappointing was the waste of Tyler Cloyd's solid performance, which was good enough to get him sent back to AAA. The Phillies fell once more to the... Continue reading

Cliff Lee Dominates Giants; Phillies Win 6-2

On paper, Cliff Lee vs. Madison Bumgarner seemed to be quite the pitching matchup. And, that's close to what we saw. Even though Bumgarner would go on to give up five runs, it did not feel like a large lead. Luckily for the Phillies, though, it was large enough to... Continue reading

Flyers Moves: Harry Z Out, Steve Mason In

In an effort to close up the gap between they and the 8th place Islanders, the Flyers made two trades. The first trade sent LW Harry Zolnierczyk to the Anaheim Ducks for minor league LW Jay Rosehill. No major improvements on either side, as it essentially swaps two depth guys.... Continue reading

Delmon Young is Slightly Less Fat

Remember that $750K contract ALCS MVP Delmon Young signed with the Phillies in January, the one that pays him to stop eating so much? Well the former Detroit Tiger has successfully starved himself to reach his first $600K incentive. In even better news (well, depending on who you are), Young's... Continue reading

Eagles Troll the Nation; Hire Chip Kelly

Face it. Not a single person thought Chip Kelly was still up for grabs. Not a single person thought the Eagles were capable of blindsiding their fans and the nation.

Your Eagles Head Coach Search Update

When we last spoke (metaphorically, of course), it looked as though the Eagles had found their next head coach.
