Halladay, Howard, Utley. TWO World Series championships might have made what the #Phillies (and fans) are experiencing worthwhile. Not sure one does.

Evaluating the Sixers

Painful loss by the #Sixers; hate to sound like you-know-who, but the youth showed.

@HARRYMAYES975 Caller around 11 called ESPN journalists... ha! They push what gets ratings. ESPN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JOURNALISM.

I was skeptical of Iverson being brought back by the @Sixers but it came off perfect.

@Espngreeny @marcelluswiley You notice the Lakers aren't playing? So tired of the bias to the teams ESPN deems important.

Big @Sixers win & 9-10 @espngreeny gives us #Lakers, #Bird, and #Heat babble. C'mon, @975TheFanatic, gotta do better.

#Sixers. Game 7. Boston. BRING IT!! Great win, validates the season.

Saturday Night Live Impersonation of Stephen A.

@975TheFanatic Time to drop @Espngreeny & Golic; Lakers lose 4-1 & 9-10 was "Kobe is the best;" bad as @MikeMiss LeBron love affair

Garnett rips Philadelphia fans Zzzzzzzzzz; only question is why report his babble?

Just listened to Lakers-OKC 1st Q more than watched; would've thought Lakers, who are losing, were way ahead w/ all the Kobe luv

Halftime show @NBAonTNT has reached new low; Barkley & @TheJetOnTNT were beyond stupid tonight. PGs shouldn't rebound? They're the punk kids who just shouted down the smart kids in high school.

Ugly night for Philly; #Sixers fell apart, #Phillies scored 1

Charles Barkley is the biggest #Sixers hater ever; Chuck, you never won a title, get over it.

Lost all respect for Mike Trico w/ the call of that second half. He couldn't kiss the ass of Wade & James more if he tried.

Shocking! ESPN guy backing Heat RT‏@Espngreeny The #Heat (pun intended) is on Wade ... My bet:He comes up huge.

#Eagles sign LeSean McCoy (@CutOnDime25); another good move. But they kept #Reid, so it's not going to matter.

Make it 5 straight for #Phillies and just 4 games out. Halladay even got the W despite the bullpen.

Tired of the @KingJames lapdogs defending him by blaming @DwyaneWade. When you're obnoxious enough to do "The Decision," you get the #heat.

Love the fact that @JonVilma51 is suing Roger Goodell. @nflcommish has run amuck over the NFL long enough.

Rough First Round for Picks

#Sixers blown out. Back to reality or blip on the radar? Somewhere in-between, but I'm thinking more reality than blip. Ironically this is the 4-5 seed type of series everyone expected them to play after their hot start.

Kyle Kendrick comes through for the #Phillies. Four straight Ws is four straight Ws this year.

Greg Oden's agent says he's talked about playing for the #Heat. What a guy. Real competitor.

Curt Schilling‏, on Twitter @gehrig38, is reportedly seeking government funding to salvage his company. I think he's completed the journey to perfect a-hole.

#Phillies win three straight, @VANIMAL_49 has to miss a start. Welcome to Phillies 2012.

Stern sounds as dumb as Kobe talking about flops. There's no need to create a rule. Don't call a charge, the flopper is on the ground, and the guy with the ball has an advantage.

Now Kobe's a hero for NOT taking charges. "I learned from my predecessors. Pippen had a [messed] up back taking charges." Shut up.

#Sixers got their most significant W since Larry Brown was coach last night; ugly basketball, but Turner looks like he's becoming a very good NBA guard. Iguodala played one of his best games; not highlight stuff, but seemed to me key shots and plays all game.

NBA Parlay Pick: Celtics -210, Thunder -410 for 50pts to win 41.41

@HowardEskin on Sports Final reported #Hamels wants 7 years with next contract. #Phillies should not have a problem with that. He's their ace now and in the future. Trade Lee if it's a money issue. Phillies need to replenish the minors anyway.

More impressed by the #Sixers L to the Celtics than any of their Ws against the injury ridden Bulls. This is where they can get experience and growth.

Is it possible the #Lakers extended Denver series to get Artest back? If Jackson was coaching, the question would be asked and he'd be credited as a genius.

Sixers - Celtics Thoughts

No way to be impressed by #Sixers series win over Bulls reserves; biggest asterisk ever; not historic

Even Cliff Lee delivering on the mound and at the plate couldn't save the #Phillies

Not buying Chris Carter put out bounties; talk about #faketough; why say it now?

After the 3rd HR, I'm thinking I stop pitching to Hamilton.

Starting to wonder if Howard & Utley would have made the #Phillies contenders; still assume yes, but . . .

#Sixers - Bulls 1st half was worst playoff basketball in years

Once again, only coronation for #Flyers came from fans last summer

Have to say I agree w/ Nats' GM on Hamels; #Phillies not really hurt by suspension though - he's pushed back 1 day

#Phillies lose another w/ Halladay on the mound; something's gotta change

Don't get Hamels plunking Harper; just b/c he's good? Dumb. That has zero to do w/ old school or unwritten rules.

At least #Phillies get one W in DC; don't see much changing this season

#Sixers were lucky all year playing teams w/ injuries; they're practically playing the Bulls' reserves

#Sixers, #Flyers in 3-1 series, and nobody thought the 76ers would be the team about to move on

It's all about Tonight, Tonight, Tonight for the #Sixers (Couldn't resist the Genesis reference)

No real panic after OT #Flyers loss, but Sunday seems like a must win (stating the obvious)

After the 9-inning shutout, Blanton has a better ERA than Halladay & isn't far from Hamels

Mariano Rivera tears ACL shagging flies; all those crying about D Rose & condensed schedule: SHUT UP

Think @RealMikeWilbon et al blame the sched? Nah, only do that w/ D Rose injury RT @ProFootballTalk Suggs tears Achilles [in off-season!]

Hypocrisy? Seau dies & NFL is brotherhood; bounties revealed & "everybody does it." #justaskin'

Absurd that Roger Goodell hears appeals on his own rulings; worse that NFLPA agreed to it.

Last night's loss by the #Phillies was a kick in the gut; Halladay blows a big lead, Phils get 6 more after falling behind, and still lose. Brutal.

Slow Start with Playoff Picks

Junior Seau's death is almost as sad as the comments section on the ESPN story. 1000+ w/in minutes, mostly asinine and/or petty. It's at the point where websites just shouldn't allow commenting.

#Flyers lose giving up 4 in the 3rd...ugly.

Much needed W for the #Phillies vs Atlanta; thing people are missing: Charlie never managed "small ball;" doubt he can change stripes now.

#Sixers run over the Bulls; suddenly Game 3 is huge; W alone wasn't big, but blowout after Rose injury could be.

#Phillies get a split with the Cubs; just May 1 and already feels like a long summer.

#Flyers also going to @975TheFanatic raises the question: when do we just bury the #WIP corpse?

Liked #Sixers jumping to @975TheFanatic first b/c it's a sign they're no longer the throw-in on deals w/the #Flyers.

For guys like @RealMikeWilbon to suggest D Rose injury is caused by the condensed schedule is stupid. It's an ACL, not a wear & tear injury.
