And Ryan Vogelsong is shutting out the Rockies into the 7th. The end is near.

Omg...

I would enjoy Pau Gasol's presence on the Sixers. Just putting it out there...

You can all take his word. He knows.

Co-sign

97 pitches! He needs nothing short of a miracle to finish this one.

Not that we would have won anyway, but Danys Baez is [expletive]ing awful. The Phillies need to bite the bullet and release this guy. Admit you [expletive]ed up giving him a multi year deal, and pay his ass to go somewhere else. So #1 on my "Phillies who need to be removed from the roster in one way or another" (Baez) made his mark tonight, and #2 (Kyle Kendrick) gets the start tomorrow night with Oswalt going on the DL. Loss, Oswalt DL, and Flyers eliminated. Just waiting for Jrue Holiday and Desean Jackson to announce their retirements to make tonight complete.

New year, same story.

Yes On a similar note, Dane Sardinha is catching tonight. He has caught Doc 4 times previously, and all 4 were complete game shutouts... Stuff like this fascinates me.

The Royals called up Eric Hosmer today.

The Vanimal is a baller. Always liked him.

Orange is a nice color on Ilya Bryzgalov.

But were you impressived?

Philadelphia sports, you slay me.

Only had 22 guys available tonight (Ruiz not ready to play, Oswalt with his family in Mississippi, Gload's grandfather passed away). Never a good situation for a 14 inning game.

Not trying to make light of how monumental tonight is, but for real, nights like tonight are the nights social media were made for.

I am a huge Watkins fan. I dig the pick, it's just a bit weird considering he has a huge head start towards the Eagles "cut everybody when they hit age 30" philosophy. The consensus seems to be that the Eagles reached with the Temple kid and they probably could have waited for him in the 3rd round, but I have no idea so I will not comment. I just think it is cool that they drafted a kid out of Temple. With Mikell probably gone, it is a position of need also. I am also happy that they bit the bullet and drafted Henery rather early. Sad that Akers is gone, but at least they got the best possible replacement. Overall, I don't really have any complaints with this draft. I also do not know shit about any of the guys we got in the 5th-7th rounds, so I won't comment on them. Seems like a lot of Eagles fans can't get around the fact that Danny Watkins is 26 years old, and as a result they are labeling the entire draft a failure. This is stupid. The Eagles addressed several major areas of need. I also liked how basically every guy they picked is from a major college program. Much higher chance of success than with their old philosophy of drafting D-2 and D-3 projects.

Ah, the always useful "pull the goalie to make it look like it's his fault" tactic. Love it. Remind me to not listen to any hockey talk shows in the next 48 hours. Absolutely horrendous game. JvR and Pronger the only two guys on the ice who are even remotely visible. Boosh had one ugly one, but otherwise was left out to dry on every goal.

Somebody is mad.

Pronger played a regular shift in game 7 and Syvret barely played at all, so I will assume we are going back to 6 defensemen to start the BOS series. Carter not ready yet and Nodl still a question mark, so I'd say Shelley or Holmstrom are the safest bets to get into the lineup. I keep hearing that Rinaldo was practicing with the 4th line today. I certainly hope this is not true, he is useless in the playoffs.

Pretty fun week for the Braves. Roger McDowell on a leave of absence after his homophobic rant and Derek Lowe arrested for DUI. Ouch.

I like the idea behind it (kind of), but overall I am against it.

So the Eagles just drafted a 26 year old. Hm.

I'm pretty sure Oswalt left the team to be with his family because his hometown in Mississippi was about to get raped by that storm today. Just speculation. But yeah, let's just leave it to the media to send fans off the deep end by using misleading titles/quotes

Incredibly productive season. Fun to watch, tons of potential to get better. So glad that the Sixers are finally relevant and fun to watch again. Most of the props go to Doug Collins. Already pumped up for next year.
