Phillies to rock the powder blues in 2010

Phillies to rock the powder blues in 2010

In what is one of the best uniform decisions ever, the Phillies will be pulling out the powder blue uniforms this season. However, it will only be a one time thing and it will happen in Milwaukee. It does make some sense, as the blues were the road uniforms, but it's still disappointing. From Brewers' beat writer Adam McCalvy: 1970s Retro Weekend May 14- ...

Assessing the Union’s first SuperDraft

Assessing the Union’s first SuperDraft

(Guest post brought to you by Shane Evans) When asked to write a guest post for Phinally Philly, I jumped at the chance. An associate editor at Goal.com by day and a Philadelphia sports fanatic by night (actually, that’s more of a 24-hour obsession), I am as ingrained in the sports community in this town as the next guy. The latest team ...

Eagles’ off-season needs

Eagles’ off-season needs

After the Eagles were unceremoniously eliminated from the playoffs last weekend, the focus quickly moved to the off-season. There are several issues nagging at the team, especially the deficiencies at offensive line, defense, and special teams. Let’s hope that back-to-back embarrassing losses in Dallas galvanizes the players and coaching stuff and leads to some positive changes for the team going ...

Pens telecast caught cheating

Pens telecast caught cheating

Perhaps one of the most dangerous precedents in hockey history has been started by Gary Bettman's "model franchise." You know, the same one that was about to move to Kansas City due to fan base disenchantment, ended up drafting in the top two selections four years in a row, and eventually won a Stanley Cup last year after some questionable ...

Leino to help offense? Don’t count on it

Posted by Chris Shafer on February - 7 - 2010
The Flyers acquired forward Ville Leino from Detroit yesterday before the Minnesota game for defenseman Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and a 5th round pick in 2011. At one point, sometime around August last year actually, Ville Leino was considered a rookie-of-the-year candidate for the 2009-10 season long before James vanRiemsdyk had even entered the minds of most journalists. To be completely fair, even I didn’t expect vanRiemsdyk...

Best of the Decade – Philly College Basketball

Posted by Roman Zubarev on February - 6 - 2010
Guest post by Joe Gallagher: With March Madness around the corner, let’s do a recap of the last 10 years of Philly college bball. Over the course of the past decade, the landscape of the Big Five (actually we’ll call it the ‘City Six’ just for you, Drexel) has changed dramatically. Villanova has gone from mediocre to powerhouse under Coach Jay Wright. Temple, after some early decade success, underwent a changing...

Your 2010 Super Bowl Drinking Game

Posted by David Foley on February - 6 - 2010
Super Bowl Sunday is typically another painful reminder for Eagles fans of how yet another season has come to a horrific end. There is of course one outstanding solution to this problem for those of us 21 or older: alcohol. With that I present the 2010 Super Bowl Drinking Game…the perfect way to keep your Sunday Super! (Note: Myself and Phinally Philly are not held responsible if anyone gets sick/suffers from alcohol...

Flyers did the right thing, look elsewhere

Posted by Chris Shafer on February - 5 - 2010
Talented and expensive winger Ilya Kovalchuk is off to the Flyers' division rival New Jersey Devils. The Flyers had a shot at him. What’s Lost At one point or another both Claude Giroux and James vanRiemsdyk have been considered in the top 10 prospects in the entire NHL. Could you imagine the Flyers’ future without either of them? It’s one thing to make claims that Jeff Carter is a lazy, streaky scoring...

The Flyers loss is the Devils gain

Posted by David Foley on February - 4 - 2010
Ilya Kovalchuk, one of the best young forwards in the game of hockey, is a Devil. The price? A defensive defenseman, a productive young forward, a top prospect with anger issues, and a first round pick…a pretty decent haul for a rebuilding Thrashers team. That being said the big headlines surrounding this deal rightfully revolve around what this means for the Devils. Jersey just went from being an Eastern Conference...

Recent Eagles Tidbits: Vick, Jauron, DeSean, and punter news

Posted by Dany Sloan on February - 4 - 2010
While Eagles fans wish we were one of the two teams that were still on the field playing football, the fact of the matter is that we’re not. Since the team’s elimination on Wild Card weekend, the focus has quickly turned to the off-season. The action off the field hasn’t exactly been boisterous, but there has been some interesting movement in the past week or two. Some of this may be old news, but we thought...

Union schedule released, with 17 nationally televised matches

Posted by Kieran Kelly on February - 3 - 2010
The MLS finally announced the schedule for the 2010 season, and the first half is going to be a beast for the Union. As was previously announced, the Union will have their inaugural match against Seattle on March 25h. They’ll then have their home debut, at Lincoln Financial Field, on April 10th against D.C. United. After that home match, 7 of the next 8 matches will be on the road, with a match up against F.C. Dallas...

An “In case you missed it..” post on the Phillies

Posted by Kieran Kelly on February - 3 - 2010
Since Phillies’ news tends to happen sporadically this time of the year, it’s very easy to miss some things. So, here is my attempt to bring you up to speed as we near the start of Spring Training. -In what was clearly the biggest news of the offseason, the Phillies will be wearing their Powder Blue road uniforms on May 14th against the Brewers, as part of Milwaukee’s Retro Weekend. It’s a great idea....

A sure sign your new new defenseman is not very good

Posted by David Foley on February - 1 - 2010
The following is from an article on Philly.com announcing the Flyers signing of Tampa cast-off Lukas Krajicek… That’s really the only picture they could find…one where Krajicek is in the process of getting torched by Mike Richards’ bitch David Booth?!? That can’t bode well for Krajicek’s future in Philly; that and the fact that his career plus/minus is -20. I guess that’s what happens...

Akers and Dawkins named to All-Decade Team

Posted by Dany Sloan on January - 31 - 2010
Tonight should be exciting times for football and music fans with the NFL Pro Bowl and Grammy Awards, but unfortunately both are irrelevant. As much as I love football, I can’t bring myself to watch the Pro Bowl, especially this year with the collection of the league’s best playing the week before the Super Bowl. I’d rather watch a high school football game. With the recent end of the decade, the league...
