Is it sad that the Phillies scored more than the Eagles?

19 10 2009

What a game.

I don’t know how else to explain it except…wow. It was awesome to watch. I almost lost my voice after Jayson Werth’s home run. Cliff Lee was beyond amazing, only managing to give up 3 hits. Carlos Ruiz really showed what kind of a catcher he is, ending the game with a gem of a catch. I’m so proud to call myself a Philly fan right now.

Wait wait, I know I didn’t forget about the Eagles pitiful effort in Oakland today, don’t you worry.

Normally, I never really write about football unless I’m praising Brett Favre (whom showed his amazing-ness yet again today, by the way) or posting crazy scores or the division standings. But, I feel like I need to say something.

Really Eagles?? Really??!!

The Raiders are the worst football team in the league, and you LOSE to them?? This makes no sense to me. I don’t think anyone had the Raiders picked in their football pools this week, and I’m sure they’re in a corner crying right now. I know I would be.

The Eagles didn’t even score double-digits. They didn’t score a touchdown. They kicked 3 field goals (thank you David Akers for putting us on the scoreboard). Wow.

Just saying, the Eagles should be 4-1. Just saying.





Sorry guys…

I took down the “Phillies Gotta Feeling” post because the video was deleted. 😦

Sorry!!

The Phillies did lose tonight, even though they shouldn’t have. 2-1. Oh well, they do come back to Philly Sunday and Monday….let’s get back in the driver’s seat Phils!!!! I KNOW we can do it!!!





Victory is so sweet :)

I love our show of power. And, Carlos Ruiz is officially one of my favorite Phillies. Just saying.

Youtube is becoming my favorite website

14 10 2009

I was listening to the radio this morning (Q102, to be exact), and i heard an awesome version of the Black Eyed Peas song “I Gotta Feeling”. It was a remix, to the tune of the Phillies race to repeat! 🙂

This isn’t the actual version, I couldn’t find that on Youtube, but I did find the song with a photo “movie”…enjoy!! 🙂
It really gets you pumped up!

That game tonight was amazing!!!! In fact, the ENTIRE series was exciting!!! Both teams put up such a fight, but the Phils proved they were the better team!!!

Bring it on, LA!! We’ll do what we did last year!! 🙂

Snow day

Because of it snowing in Denver, the Phillies @ Rockies game will be postponed to tomorrow

Great. I hope it doesn’t snow tomorrow either.

guess you can’t win ’em all…

9 10 2009

First, before I rant, congrats to the Dodgers for winning again, and the Angels for winning their first game.

Now, to the ranting….

Why, oh WHY, did Manuel put both Blanton and Happ in?! I don’t understand….yes, it would’ve been nice to win yesterday, but it wasn’t like he needed to use two starters in relief!!!! Ugh, made me so mad…

But, I am okay with the semi-comeback…it made the game interesting for a couple innings…

Tonight, the Twins play the Yankees again, should be interesting…

Tomorrow night, the Phillies head to Colorado for a 2-game homestand for the Rockies. Good luck Phils!!!

Day 1 is done…

8 10 2009

…and day 2 begins in 2 hours!!! 🙂

Congrats to the Phillies, Yankees, and Dodgers for taking game 1 of your series!! 

Today’s games consist of two game 2’s, and one game 1:
Rockies @ Phillies-2:37pm
Cardinals @ Dodgers-6:07pm
Red Sox @ Angels-9:37pm 

If the Angels win tonight, then it’ll be the first time since the Wild Card was created that all 4 home teams won their opening game.

Good luck everyone!! 
But, of course, LET’S GO PHILS!!! 🙂
