With this monstrous sports day about to get underway, it’s time to look at what Philly fans need for it to be successful…
1. Eagles MUST get off to a good start to their season. This is crucial as the team is 3-6 under Andy Reid in openers. A loss to the Rams would be devastating.
2. The Phillies MUST split their doubleheader in New York. I wasn’t really thinking this team would win this series, but after winning game one, there is no reason Pedro cannot be whipped. Santana-Hamels is going to be a great game tonight – I’ll enjoy it as such and won’t expect a win – just a classic.
3. Winning all three games is totally possible – so is losing all three.
What a day this is going to be. Follow me on twitter for updates as I settle in for a long day – and night.

Billy Wagner will miss the rest of the year with a tear of his flexor pronator and MCL in his left elbow.
He will have surgery as soon as this weekend, and could be out for up to one year.
I could honestly care less.
