Allen signs, Cooper impresses, offensive line issues

Allen signs, Cooper impresses, offensive line issues

The first three days of training camp are in the books and what have we seen so far? Honestly, not much. First round pick Brandon Graham still has yet to sign a contract, and contrary to his words from a couple of weeks ago, he's a camp no- show. While I am still confident that this isn't ...

The Sixers have reached the proverbial  "fork in the road." It's where decisions must be made, like it or not. Mainly, the Sixers ...

With Uts & Polly on the DL, the Phillies’ best options are…. Dobbs & Bocock?

Posted by Kieran Kelly on June - 29 - 2010
What a difference a few months makes. Heading into the 2010 season, it seemed as if the Phillies’ bench would be vastly improved over the 2009 version. Eric Bruntlett, Matt Stairs, Chris Coste, & Miguel Cairo were all gone. In their place were Brian Schneider, Juan Castro, & Ross Gload. When Jimmy Rollins went down early in the season for the second year in a row, the Phillies were able to plug in Juan Castro...

Posted by Dany Sloan on June - 28 - 2010
Although every day is football season in Philadelphia, this is the time of the year when even the biggest Eagles fans have to scrape for something to talk about. With training camp still weeks away and the team off doing it is whatever they do in the off-season, news is at a minimum.

Sixers have a clear choice to make on draft day

Posted by Dany Sloan on June - 23 - 2010
Leading up to the draft lottery day on May 18, I had joked that the lottery balls had to go in the Sixers’ favor. Not only was the team in desperate need of a direction change, but it was also my birthday. Truth be told I wasn’t expecting anything higher than the #6 or #7 pick, so it took awhile for the the truth to sink in: the Philadelphia 76ers have the #2 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. It was quite the...

Phillies rough up the Yanks, go 3-3 on AL East roadtrip

Posted by Kieran Kelly on June - 17 - 2010
Heading into this week’s road trip, it didn’t look good for the Phillies. Six games against the AL East powers Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. The Fightins were struggling and it looked like it could get worse. It did get worse after the Phillies looked terrible in their 3 game series with Boston and the series with the Yankees loomed ahead. After the Yuckees roughed up Roy Halladay, the Phillies had Jamie...

Samuel Dalembert finally traded, sent to Kings

Posted by Dany Sloan on June - 17 - 2010
In a move that was definitely a long time coming, the Sixers dealt longtime center Samuel Dalembert to the Sacramento Kings for swingman Andres Nocioni and big man Spencer Hawes. Sammy was a first round draft pick in June of 2001, immediately following Philly’s NBA Finals defeat against the Lakers. Any first rounder comes to a team with a certain amount of pressure on his shoulders, and Dalembert was no different. ...

Posted by Kieran Kelly on June - 17 - 2010
After going 1-4 for the Phillies in 2006 and having 2 Tommy John surgeries on his elbow,  Philleis’ prospect (can we even call him that anymore?)  Scott Mathieson finally returns to Philly after an almost 4 year absence. He was recalled today when reliever Antonio Bastardo was placed on the 15 day DL with a left elbow injury. Mathieson had been pretty impressive in Spring Training this year and had a chance to make...

Posted by Kieran Kelly on June - 16 - 2010
Less than a week after the worst start of his career, Jamie Moyer bounced back and notched the 265th win of his career against the New York Yankees. The win was also Charlie Manuel’s 700th career win as a manger, with 480 of them coming in his 6 years with the Phillies. In the 6-3 Phillies’ win, Moyer went 8 innings and gave up 2 runs on 3 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. With that terrible start against...
