Shocker!  I wonder who Major League Baseball wants to win this series!

You know you’re doomed when you have the league pulling for you and you still can’t win!

Philly Sports Roundup – Oct. 14

This is something new that I am going to start posting every Wednesday morning simply just to run down what the local professional (and some college) sports teams are up to.  With Z88.9 Sports being so consumed with local sports at the college and high school level, especially high school football, we don’t want to leave out the teams that our listeners probably care about the most.

First…it’s not exaclty news anymore, but the Phillies have advanced to the National League Championship Series for the second year in a row, and will renew their cross-country rivalry with the Los Angeles Dodgers tomorrow night.  This will be the fifth meeting between the two teams in the NLCS, who have split the previous four at two wins apiece.  Game 1 starters look to be Cole Hamels going up against the Phillies’ former ace, Randy Wolf.  The series schedule looks like this:

Game 1 – Thursday, Oct. 15 @ L.A. – 8:07 p.m.

Game 2 – Friday, Oct. 16 @ L.A. – 4:07 p.m.

Game 3 – Sunday, Oct. 18 in Philly – 8:07 p.m.

Game 4 – Monday, Oct. 19 in Philly – 8:07 p.m.

*Game 5 – Wednesday, Oct. 21 in Philly – 8:07 p.m.

*Game 6 – Friday, Oct. 23 @ L.A. – 8:07 p.m.

*Game 7 – Saturday, Oct. 24 @ L.A. – 8:07 p.m.

*If Necessary

As far as the other teams go, the Flyers are in the midst of their annual team bonding week as they have just one game over a stretch of 11 days.  The Orange and Black will resume play on Friday night in Sunrise, FL when they faceoff against the Panthers.

The Sixers continue to have a good preseason, and if their record is any indication of what they’ll be bringing to the table in the regular season, perhaps it will be a good year.

The Eagles beat the Bucs on Sunday, and now look to improve to 4-1 with another win this weekend against the Oakland Raiders.  Not to take anything away from the birds, but aside from that game against New Orleans, they haven’t played a legit contender yet, and they were blown out in that game with the Saints.  Despite that, McNabb came out with an excellent performance in his return to the field, and helped the team do exactly what they need to do against these weaker teams – WIN!  With the Saints being among the early favorites to hoist the Lombardi in February, I guess you can’t complain too much about the loss; especially given the fact that Kevin Kolb was also the starter for the birds that day.  The 3-1 record looks good for the Eagles, RIGHT NOW…but keep in mind that they still have all six NFC East games, as well as meetings with the currently unbeaten Denver Broncos, along with the Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears…all of which seem to be legit contenders for the top prize this season.  I’m not saying the Eagles won’t make the playoffs, or that they can’t beat these “good” teams, but they do still need to prove themselves (to me at least) before I’m ready to pick them to pass the NY Giants for the top spot in the division.  As far as this week goes…unless they’re trying to mimic the Dallas Cowboys’ win over Kansas City, the Eagles should have no problem with the Raiders…35-17.
