Phightins

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a hell of a day.

I am starting to feel pretty bad for Brooks Conrad.

OK, so I HATE those virtual ads on the glass behind the goals on TV broadcasts. Hate hate hate. I know it was around in some places last year, but this is the first year it has taken over Flyers broadcasts. So distracting and unnecessary, but anything for a few extra bucks I guess. http://www.blogcdn.com/nhl.fanhouse.com/media/2009/04/subway-(1).jpg This is what I am referring to, if you haven't seen it before. The one the Flyers broadcast uses is a solid red Toyota banner, so it is even more annoying than that.

Fish....thoughts on today's happenings? Wish list for replacements?

NLDS Rotation: Game 1: Roy Halladay Game 2: Roy Oswalt Game 3: Cole Hamels Game 4: Roy Halladay Game 5: Roy Oswalt I dig it.

This whole "cheer/boo" thing is really funny. That is all anyone is concerned with, nobody seems to remember that this is kind of a big game.

Yeah...it's really a shame how stupid some people can be. I was at ease with the trade when it happened, but I loved the guy when he was an Eagle and never understood most of the criticism.

I doubt it's that drastic. At every Eagles game I have gone to, the jersey I have seen the most is #5. He was/is very well liked by many. There are plenty of obnoxious and unreasonable fans (the ones I described a few posts up) who will surely boo just for the hell of it. But I'd be surprised if the boos outnumber the cheers. A lot of people who don't live here assume that the vocal minority that disliked McNabb represents every Eagles fan, which isn't true. He was very popular with most Eagles fans.

He barely has any service time, I doubt he's even close to arbitration yet. He should be Braves property for several more years.

If the Braves don't win the wild card, something is seriously wrong with them. This weekend they will face Kyle Kendrick, Vance Worley, and Cole Hamels (who will be taken out after 2-3 innings). Worley is actually solid, but considering that the original plan was Halladay, Hamels, and Oswalt, the Braves are lucking out.

A lot of people who attend Eagles games are stupid, obnoxious, and unreasonable. Basically what Smitty said.

The NL was pretty fun until the Phillies swept the Braves. The Wild Card/West is still pretty cool. The AL is quite uneventful like usual.

Reds, Rays, and Yankees clinch!

Prado done for year. Ouch!

Welcome to my dilemma every time I turned on sports talk radio in the 10 years he was here. Most of the people around here are irrational and stupid.

Michael Leighton out a month with a bulging disc in his back, and Ian Laperriere out "indefinitely" with post-concussion syndrome. Bill Guerin's spot on the roster is looking pretty solid right about now, and Johan Backlund and/or Sergei Bobrovsky is going to be getting a pretty big opportunity.

Yep, considering where this team was two months ago, to have the division and homefield throughout the playoffs clinched with 5 games to go is kind of remarkable.

Islanders fans are hardcore. It sucks for them that they haven't had a competitive team in so long.

Yeah the Mets are the only team that's been able to beat the Phillies recently. Lets hope we don't get matched up with you in the playoffs! I kid, I kid.

I will counter with Richards, Carter, Giroux, Van Riemsdyk, Leino, Briere, Zherdev, etc. . I, too, cannot wait for the season.

The Islanders might be frightening soon as well.

Hey, the Phillies clinched a playoff spot.
