Roy Oswalt Disappoints in Phillies Debut vs. Nationals
If there’s anyone like me who wasn’t a true fan of the move to bring in Roy Oswalt, you’re probably hoarse from screaming at your TV all night long.
Oswalt was incredibly erratic in his Phillies debut as he and the team fell to the Washington Nationals 8-1. Of those eight runs, Oswalt allowed four earned, [...]
Phillies, Astros Waiting on Roy Oswalt to Finalize Deal
UPDATE: Jayson Stark tweets that Oswalt is expected to give the green light on a deal that would send him to the Phillies. However, nothing is official just yet.
UPDATE(2): According to ESPN’s Amy K. Nelson, the Phils will add $1 million onto Oswalt’s 2012 buyout, making it likely that’s the option they’d take. The two [...]
Upcoming Yankees Series Could Bring Hope for Phillies
While it was nice to see the Phillies leave Boston on a positive note with a 5-3 win against the Red Sox, it’s difficult not to look ahead and dread the Phils’ three-game series in New York against the red-hot Yankees.
The two teams have been on two completely different paths this season as the Yankees have seemingly breezed [...]
Eagles Acquire Linebacker Ernie Sims from Detroit
In the Eagles fifth offseason trade, they acquired linebacker Ernie Sims from the Detroit Lions in a three-team trade that also included sending a fifth-round pick to the Denver Broncos. The Broncos, in turn, sent tight end Tony Scheffler and a seventh-round pick to the Lions.
“I’m just real excited, looking for a new beginning … [...]
Eagles and Darryl Tapp Agree to Extension
News came out a couple days ago that only a few hours after the trade had taken place, the Eagles and brand new acquisition Darryl Tapp had an extension in place. No one knew the numbers, but now it appears Adam Schefter (surprise, surprise) has them.
“For those scoring at home: Eagles gave newly-acquired DE Darryl [...]
Brian Westbrook Attacks Eagles’ Front Office
Brian Westbrook is apparently extremely bitter about being released by the Eagles and is now taking his new-found freedom as an opportunity to strike back via the radio airwaves.
“The thing for them, the Eagles, it’s always money. It’s always dollar signs,” Westbrook told Dan Patrick on his radio show. “If they can find someone to [...]
If Troy Aikman Is a Hall of Famer, Then So Is McNabb
Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: McNabb has not won three Super Bowls, nor has he even been to three Super Bowls. However, does anyone sincerely believe that McNabb has ever had half the talent that Aikman had?
Aikman spent his entire career throwing to Michael Irvin and handing off to [...]
Vikings Do What the Eagles Could Not vs. Dallas
Everyone knew how to stop the Dallas Cowboys, it was just a matter of finding a team who could execute the gameplan properly.
Putting pressure on Tony Romo is basically where that gameplan begins
and ends, but thanks to a very good Cowboys’ offensive line, that plan
is easier said than done
Donovan McNab Will Stay in Philly in 2010 and Beyond
This is the last time I’ll address the Donovan McNabb situation. That is, until next offseason when all the questions and calls for his head begin again.
Let me lay it out for everyone: Donovan McNabb is the franchise quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles. The man who drafted him just signed a three-year extension because of [...]
Eagles Sign Former Penn State Center A.Q. Shipley
In what could be the Eagles’ anticipation of life without Jamaal Jackson, the Birds have signed former Penn State and Pittsburgh Steelers center A.Q. Shipley.
Shipley was a seventh-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers last April, and was a guy I was really hoping the Eagles would target. Personally, I’m not a huge follower of NCAA [...]
