   Ok, WIP is banned for good now. I tune in on the way to work to give them another chance, and theyre obsessing Negadelphia style over the Eagles being a disgrace. Meanwhile the Phillies are in the NLCS, and the entire time I heard NOTHING about the Philles…disgraceful.

   I agree 100% what a joke. PLEASE let the eagles go, PLEASE. How can you not be all FIRED up about the Phillies right now. It has been 15 years and are wondering about the production of a Tight End that BLOWS.

   This town is a joke with the Eagles.

   For a team really high on LJ Smith and so often lacking in a wepon to consistently move the chains without handing the ball back to the opponent, he really doesn’t get the ball much but enough said there.

   I don’t like the way the media is spinning the Dodgers after being so critical of them until the arrival of Manny which seemed to change the opinion on the team without prejudice. Maybe the Phillies are not the favourites and we are bias but the Dodgers certainly are not the formidable force they’re being presented as and I’ll take our pitching over theirs right now. A justified point is made the the Phils bats might struggle with the ball down but that’s just Lowe and Hamels is the superior pitcher, Myers matches up very well against Billingsley and past that if the Phils are putting bat to ball our back-end is superior not to mention a superior bullpen.

   Say what you will about the hitting but the baseball media is ignoring an incredibly strong pitching staff that is possibly the healthiest left in contention over the reputation of the big baseball market Dodgers. I’ve not no problem with the Dodgers being called the better team if the evidence is there but it isn’t.

   One thing about reid is why does he put so little stock in fullbacks and tightends. The phillies have a good chance to beat the dodgers. But they need howard and utley to produce.
