Philly SportsCast

I have not had, in all of my 37 years, a team tell the press that it’s “Good that we have an off day coming up” as much as this year’s Phillies team.
This team has to get its collective head on straight.
Utley said he thinks the day off today will help the Phils, [...]

Brett Myers could soon be out of the Phillies’ starting rotation and back in the bullpen.
The Associated Press is reporting that Charlie Manuel and pitching coach Rich Dubee talked to Myers before the game Saturday night in Texas, a night after Myers gave up five runs and was pulled without recording an out in the [...]

The 76ers drafted forward Marreese Speights with the 16th pick in the NBA draft last night.
Speights, 6-foot-10, 245 pounds, averaged 14.5 points and 8.1 rebounds last season as a sophomore at Florida. The Sixers hope he can play both power forward and center.

The Boston Globe is reporting that the Phillies stole certain signs during the team’s recent home series with the Boston Red Sox.
Give me an ever-loving break – the Phils lost two of three in that series, badly.
Charlie on this whole mess:
We’re getting our butts kicked, and we’re stealing signs?” Manuel said Thursday as the Phillies [...]

Philly SportsCast #138 – June 25, 2008
A couple of weeks ago the Phillies could do no wrong, now we get a six-game losing streak and lots of worried looks at the plate for a team that can hit the junk out of the ball pretty much any time it wants.
Well that came to an [...]
