No, the Eagles did not make it to the Super Bowl. The Sixers have lost Elton Brand for the rest of the season. The Flyers have measured themselves against the NHL’s best, the Boston Bruins, and come up woefully short.
It is the winter of our discontent, sports fans.
So here’s a couple of rays of sunshine on a very cold February Friday morning.
First, the forecasters are saying we could hit 60 degrees Sunday afternoon. Maybe Punxsutawney was wrong.
Second, a 53-foot equipment truck will pull up outside Citizens Bank Park this morning. Here’s what I hope is written in huge letters on the side of the rig: Property of the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies.
I repeat, the World “Bleeping” Champion Philadelphia Phillies.
The Fightin’s will pack up their equipment this morning as they prepare to head south for spring training in Clearwater, Fla. Kind of makes you feel warm just thinking about it, doesn’t it?
If you have a hankering for someplace warm, and also are a Phillies fan, make sure you pick up a copy of the Sunday Times. We’ll have a special package on Clearwater from Phillies beat writer Ryan Lawrence. He will tell you everything you need to know about a trip to the Phils’ winter home, from how to get tickets for Grapefruit League games, to where to eat.
And one more thing. If you want to recapture that winning feeling we reveled in with the Phillies one more time before spring training, head to Granite Run Mall tonight.
The Phillies will be displaying their World Series Trophy there from 6:30 to 8 p.m. You can even get your picture taken with it.
Forget the Eagles. It’s almost baseball season. And we’re the world champs.
