This team also has a lot of [...]

According to a report by NBC’s Hardball Talk, starting pitcher Vance Worley will require offseason surgery to fix bone chips in his right elbow. Like the Philadelphia Phillies, 21-21 and last in the NL East, needed any more bad news. Worley was placed on the 15-Day Disabled List on Wednesday due to what he described as “soreness” in his right [...]

After starting out 2012 sluggishly, the Philadelphia Phillies have put the pedal to the medal over the last week, winning six straight games and seven out of eight against San Diego, Houston, Chicago, and now Boston. There have been plenty of disappointments so far—Chad Qualls, John Mayberry Jr, Jimmy Rollins, and Shane Victorino—but plenty of Phillies have made inroads in their careers [...]

As the ESPN announcer mentioned during today’s broadcast of 76ers-Celtics Game 4, the word “unbelievable” is thrown around sometimes too often in today’s world. It is completely apropos when discussing the Sixers’ second-half rally against the Boston Celtics. After falling behind early, as bad as 18-3 in the first quarter and 46-31 at the half, the [...]

Trying to avoid a calamitous contract situation with a star player once again, the Philadelphia Eagles made a nice stride in ensuring stability in 2012-2013. According to Pro Football Talk and Jason Canfora, the Eagles announced today that running back LeSean McCoy is receiving a five-year, $46.5 million extension on his contract with $20.765 million [...]

As some NBA fans may remember, the Sixers’ and Knicks’ records determined two things: 1) Who would claim the 7th or 8th seed and 2) Who would play the Bulls or Heat in the first round. The Sixers played it smart and lost their last game, while the Knicks won over the reeling Charlotte Bobcats. [...]

Raúl [...]

Only two-and-a-half weeks removed from the 2012 NFL Draft, the most intriguing storyline for Philadelphia Eagles fans should be the futures of their late-round selections. What the team will get out of its early-round picks seems somewhat decided. First-round pick Fletcher Cox seems poised to be an excellent run stuffer in this league, Mychal Kendricks will be [...]

Not an opposing lineman, but a Roll-a-Bout is the reason Eagles left tackle Jason Peters will now miss the remainder of the 2012-2013 NFL season. According to Derrick Gunn of CSN Philly, Peters was moving around his kitchen area when the device malfunctioned; he fell on his face and re-tore his injured Achilles. As you might remember, [...]

Although the Philadelphia Union (2-6-1) played a close, well-fought game, they simply couldn’t hold onto their second half lead against their arch rival, the New York Red Bulls. In a game where goals were plentiful, the Union out jumped to a 2-1 lead, fueled by Columbian striker Lionard Pajoy who has had a quiet season [...]
