Flyers stun Atlanta
It wasn’t a stone cold stunner but it was sure enough a scoring stunner as the Flyers just ran over the Thrashers 7-0 in the game tonight. With a winning combination the Flyers gets six of their goals tonight from just three different people. And with Nittymaki it net all he needed tonight was a single goal, since he would be lights out earning himself a 10-0 record against Atlanta and his first shutout of the season. Flyers are flying high with three straight wins and hopefully trying to salvage an October nightmare.Pros
Joffrey Lupul
Mike Knuble
Simon Gagne
Antero Niittymaki
Goofs
Iilya Kovalchuck
Garnet Exelby
Thrashers Fans
Thrashers Defense
Pros: Joffrey Lupul got the scoring going with a first period goal that would be the only one needed to win but still went on to score a second one. Lupul is filling in well for the lost of Briere that many of us are not missing. Knuble is one of the luckiest guys out there who just seems to be in the rite place at the rite time. Knuble scoring two goals off his skate, with a non kicking motion, that helped him gain some points tonight. Simon Gagne scoring a shorthanded goal and also getting a second goal of the night later which lead the Flyers in their dominant night. Antero Niittymaki just continues to show us why he is a great goaltender. Stopping all 24 shots faced and keeping the Flyers alive in the game with big saves all lead him into the Pro category.
Goofs: Kovalchuck with a bonehead play caused his team a 4 minute major penalty that lead to the Flyers scoring twice and pretty much putting the game away. Bone head plays seem to be the make and break of each game for the Thrashers, and should think of a new strategy to win. Exelby tried to get the momentum back into the Atlanta side when trying to fight Cote but quickly fell to the ice and failed terribly to get anyone motivated. Tonight’s game had about 13,000 people and you couldn’t hear the crowd at all. A non factor and when you are at home you need the crowd to play some factor in the game. With all the scoring tonight and absolute slaughter in stopping shots the defense of the Thrashers get a big goof. Can’t blame the goaltender for everything.
Now the Flyers get set to take on the New York Islanders in a rivalry game on Thursday. I am looking forward to see if the Flyers can try to make October a rebound month.

Is the curse alive!
Every Phillys fans must be thinking is this the curse of Penn, and will it cost us everything. At the start of the game the Phillies look like they were in control, but poor fielding, and maybe just the way it is type of year the Phillies could lose this. If we head back to Tampa I believe that the Phillies would lose this. SO lets hope the rain lets up a little and allows them to play the rest tonight. DAMN IT.Fingers Crossed, Prayers Said, Now Play Ball
Tonight the Phillies get a change to win their second world championship, and finally lifting the curse that has been over Philadelphia in past 20 some years. The World Series has always been known for making someone famous, either is a good way or bad. History has a funny way of expressing it self, and at times hard to predict. Many fans hope that tonight is the night where dreams become a reality and we can all together overcome all the obstacles in our life. For 9 innings no matter what we are going through or the troubles we are in, for those innings we will watch holding our breath at times, and just waiting for a moment to scream for victory. Cole Hamels the ace of the staff is pitching, and if he remains hot the Phillies could walk away with the win tonight. And he opponent Kazmir who is game 1 was not that bad, could send this game back to Florida with some hopes in sight. Who will be the hero? Who will be made famous tonight?Sunday, October 26, 2008
Into the Night!
With the hype building, the crowd refusing to yield, and destiny knocking, the Phillies are just one game away from being the World Champions of Baseball. One game away from utter greatness, and one game away from being the absolute best in the MLB. The stadium is fired up, the bats are alive, and the defense is up. Now fate lies in the ace of the staff with just one more win left to earn.Pros
Joe Blanton
Jimmy Rollins
Goofs
Akinori Iwamura
Evan Longoria
Pros: Joe Blanton just was a nasty pitcher tonight, and followed his superb pitching also heroic bat. Seems what ever Bret Myers was eating, Blanton must be eating now hitting a homerun in the game. I never thought that Blanton would be leading us through the World Series, nor be pitching as well as he has the past three post season games. Jimmy Rollins got his game started and hopefully it all pours into tomorrow night.
Goofs: Iwamura was hittles, and caused of few errors that the Phiillies jumped all over. Longoria seems not to be here yet, or rather not understanding what is going on. He seems like he is lost and he is looking oddly sick. I still have a fear that he will break out and be the dominating force he could be.
With just one win away the Phillies and the city of Philadelphia are crossing their fingers, and saying their prayers tonight for a win tomorrow night. It will be a rematch from game 1, and hopefully with the same result. Phillies look to remain undefeated at home, and are looking to become World Series Champions. ONE WIN AWAY!
A Win for Everybody.
It the most tight divsion in the entire NFl, the Eagles flew one over the Falcons to pick up thier fifths win of the season. Now either it was the loud crowd or the city just being very focused rite now, that lead to this big win for the Eagles, I don't know. A win is a win and I will take it in anyway I can. Since the game was a close one I couldn't really pull out pros and goofs of the game. But I have decided to do so anyway.Pros
Brian Westbrook
Phillies
Matt Ryan
Goofs
Falcons Head Coach
Pros: Westbrook just took control of the destiny with his running game, and complete well rounded play. Westbrook had over a hundred yards today, and two touchdowns. More of that producation the Eagles are looking good for the long run. Phillies get a pro title because they have sparked the city and was probably why the Eagles fans just dominated the air ways today. Matt Ryan the QB of the Falcons was impressive and I will look into what happens with this young player down the road.
Goofs: Falcons Head Coach simply ran out of time outs, and couldn't challenge a play that would've most likely been overturned. Football is a game of inches and strategy all in which the Eagles dominated the hot headed coach of the Flacons.
Hopefully the Eagles can gain some ground next week as they head West to battle Seatle. Hopefully this becomes a good day with just one more win to have with the Phillies.
Coming Soon!
After sitting back, and thinking about it, I have decided to blob about the Eagles as well as the rest of my favorite Philadelphia teams. So after today's game and after the rest of the league plays I will give you my thoughts and my true fan feelings about the game. Also new to the blog is the dails updates of the Phillies, Flyers, and now Eagles. SO enjoy that, that is for you.
