Alec Bohm has been under fire lately and justifiably so. He’s been one of the worst hitters in the game this year and came under question, even in these here pages, about his viability as a regular in the lineup. Don Mattingly sat him down for two days to give him a reset, but openly […]
The Carolina Hurricanes picked up a 3-2 overtime win in Game 4 over the Philadelphia Flyers to secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Final, becoming the first team to go 8-0 through the first two rounds under the NHL’s current playoff format. Just as they did in Game 2, the Flyers came out of […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are pulling out all the stops for their Game 4 must win contest Saturday evening against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes. And it appears they’re putting in two young blue-chip prospects for the National Hockey League playoff debuts, while scratching another.
Although nothing was officially confirmed during the pre-game warmup skate, forward Jett Luchanko and defenseman Oliver Bonk are in for contest while winger Matvei Michkov is a healthy scratch. The lines were ...
Well, that was quite the way to open the series. The Colorado Rockies survived another blown lead to manage an exciting extra-inning win against the Philadelphia Phillies last night. Colorado carries a two-game winning streak into the matchup, as the teams meet for the second time this weekend and the fifth time already in this […]

Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Mailbag: What Eagles players aside from A.J. Brown and Tanner McKee are trade bait? – PhillyVoiceQuestion from @Sassysachin: Apart from A.J. Brown, which current Eagles could be part of a potential trade? How about if we amend the above question to, “Apart from A.J. Brown […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are trying to stave off playoff elimination on Saturday night as they face the treacherous and embarrassing 3-0 series deficit to the Carolina Hurricanes. In an effort to not hand the Hurricanes the series and keep their postseason undefeated streak alive, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet could be making some lineup changes — and it could include putting in a very young defenseman on the blue line.
After Saturday morning’s optional skate, head coach Rick Tocchet hint...
While the Charge were sinking the Fleet, what else was going on in the hockey world?
The Knicks silenced the doubters on Friday night, defeating the 76ers 109-94 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead and move within one win of the Eastern Conference Finals. Even with the return of Joel Embiid, Philadelphia had no answers for New York’s talent and depth. The Knicks weathered an early 12-point deficit, dominated the […]
Anybody could have had Jalen Brunson in the 2018 NBA Draft. Anybody. The Villanova guard was the 33rd overall choice in that selection process, and has since parlayed his old-man game into four 20 point-per-game seasons and three All-Star appearances. That same June night, the Sixers did have Mikal Bridges, albeit briefly. (Perhaps you’ve heard.) […]
Probably not the question to be asking after two consecutive losses, but it’s fair. The Phillies are 17-21, yet still maintain decent enough playoff odds by FanGraphs and Baseball Reference. They have played better baseball of late, which has at least made them more watchable. So, how are we feeling about their playoff chances? The […]
The Carolina Hurricanes have the opportunity to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Final on Saturday in Game 4 of their second-round series against the Philadelphia Flyers. If they can do it, they would become the first team since the NHL moved to having the postseason comprised entirely of best-of-7 series to open with […]
Maybe there is something about Jesus Luzardo and these midseason starts with the Phillies. He just seems to have troubles with these starts and this would be another one. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Last season, as you may recall, until he injured his knee last December, former Blue Devil Jared McCain was on track to be the surprise Rookie of the Year in the NBA. He got injured again in September, this time a hand rather than his knee, and Philadelphia, feeling it had a crowded backcourt, traded […]
For seven innings, the Rockies looked like they had finally found the easy version of a win. Then the game lost its mind. Colorado built a 6-0 lead, gave it all back in one disastrous inning, survived repeated late showdowns with Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, and still found a way to beat the Philadelphia […]

A new series means a fresh start. After losing two out of three against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Athletics began a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Tupac bobblehead night at Camden Yards. The A’s ruined the Orioles’ Tupac celebration, winning the first game of the series 4-3, thanks to timely hitting, arguably Jacob […]
The Philadelphia Phillies (17-22) overcame a six-run deficit to come all the way back to take their series opener against the visiting Colorado Rockies (16-23) to extra innings, only to let it slip away for a 9-7 defeat. Jesus Luzardo dug a huge hole with a nightmare fourth inning, allowing five runs on five hits […]

Tonight, the Knicks (2-0) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (0-2) at Xfinity Mobile Arena for Game Three of the Eastern Conference semifinals. It’s a chance for New York to take a commanding 3-0 lead on the road, but it won’t come easy. Although ESPN.com etting sites peg the Sixers as slight favorites at home. That’s mainly […]

We could already have a second-round series finish this weekend, as the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs continue.
Nothing will be decided on Friday night, though, with Buffalo up 1-0 on Montreal and a 1-1 deadlock in the West between Vegas and Anaheim. On Saturday, Carolina could sweep the Flyers with a win in Game 4 while Colorado visits Minnesota for the first time with a 2-0 lead in that series. Friday’s action repeats on Mothers Day, with Buffalo/Montreal and Vegas/Anaheim on the agenda.

Yesterday, the Athletics put together one of their most impressive performances of the season to salvage the final game of the team’s three-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies. The A’s hit four two-run home runs, providing more than enough run support for starting pitcher J.T. Ginn, who allowed just one run on four hits over eight […]
The New York Knicks will be without star forward OG Anunoby for Game 3 of their series against the Philadelphia 76ers with a hamstring strain. The news comes after Anunoby scored 24 points in a 108-102 win in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden. Anunoby has been a key factor in the series so far […]
