Quick Hits v.4

Finally (for today) it's been a busy sports time of year. The Phillies are really, really, really, really close to making the post-season, for the first time since I was in 8th grade!!!!!

Of course, they might fall short like other years, but I think they might actually do it this year. The Atlanta series will be a big test, come out of there okay, and it might be time to order playoff tickets.

The Eagles finally won in 3 weeks, and did they ever win! It wasn't even close. A great day for fantasy football owners (McNabb, Westbrook, Kitna, Roy Williams).

Not so great a day for merchandisers. The Eagles went with their "swedish" look , with is great for, say, ice hockey....and not so great for the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

I don't see this tradition continuing, 56 points, or not.

Finally, in college sports, Penn State laid an egg in Ann Arbor. With their schedule, they had a really good chance to run the table, and be in the running for the national championship. Instead, a somewhat sloppy loss.

The Irish finally got to the end zone, but they are unfortunately out of options for this year. All the Ty supporters will come out of the "woodwork".

Also, as I finish this, the Phillies have moved into a tie for the wild card!!!! without even playing (Padres lost). It's going to be an exciting week of baseball!

Wait for it......wait for it.....wait........do you see the letdown coming????.....here it co...no wait....maybe not this year......maybe they finally make it.....
