As some of you may have gathered in the past few months, I’m a Phillies fan through and through. However, my breeding calls for loyalty to all Philadelphia sports teams, especially the Eagles. I can not claim to know all the ins and outs of the the team or football itself, but I can tell [...]

Call me biased, but the Phillies deserve to have the NL East title. While I’ll take playoff berth any which way I can get it (beggars can’t be choosers) I’d [...]
