Good Times in the City of Brotherly Love



If you're a Philadelphia sports fan, it doesn't get much better than this weekend.

All four NFC East teams were playing games they were supposed to win, but only the Eagles got into the win column. The Redskins and Cowboys were stunned by the Rams and Cardinals, and the Giants were shellacked on Monday night at Cleveland. Then, reports came out that Tony Romo will be out for a month with a broken pinkie.

The Phillies last night used a four-run eighth to their advantage. They beat the Dodgers 7-5 to take a 3-1 series lead. It could be all over on Wednesday as Cole Hamels, who has been terrific this postseason, takes the mound to try to get Philadelphia into the World Series.

Even the 76ers won a preseason game at the Raptors!

(I'm skating around the fact the Flyers gave up 4 goals in the third to lose to Montreal, but it can't all be good.)
