Black Saturday

It doesn't get any worse for Philly Sports than it did today.

Let's recap the horrors in sequential order:



1) The Flyers lost game 5 in Washington today, losing Mike Knuble for the rest of the series in the process with a hamstring injury. The Flyers have no one else to blame than themselves as they didn't decide to show up until the 3rd period and were unable to overcome terrible officiating in the final period. The Flyers better take care of business on Monday back at the big bank building or things could get awfully interesting.



2) The Phils fail to get any timely hits and lose 4-2 to the Mets. Who was it that said that we own the Mets are in their head? That guy is a real idiot because the Phils haven't beaten the Mets since. In case you missed it, we are still waiting for Ryan Howards to get a bit hit.



3) B Hop drops a split decision to some dude from Wales named Joe with an unpronouncable last name. (Let's call him Joe C.) As B Hop suggested, I have let this fight "marinate in my mind" and have decided that B Hop needs to hang it up. He just got worked by a dude that looks like he should be doing my taxes, not beating an all time great fighter. By the way, the best part of the fight (other than Max Kellerman's outstanding commentary) was Joe C's father, who served as his trainer. I never heard such entertaining uses of the F word. He deserves much more air time.

An English dude saying the F Word is always a good time. Bernard banked $10M but he didn't look good. This dude is 45-0 but Hop put him down in round 1 and then shut it down. Whats the song, 'don't go away mad, just go away'.

Interesting, Fly Guys lost a game they should, but they got bounced around in the process. They'll need a big effort back home on monday nite.

Here's my take on the Phils after 18 games (more than 10% of the reg. season has passed). Pitching has been great, offense and defense have not. We know this team will hit, and once we get the MVP and the gnat back in the lineup things will improve. Its a shame we've wasted some good outings by Eaton and Lt. K and Moyer. Burrell is on fire while Mr. Howard proves again, he does not like April.
