Here’s everything you need to know about last night’s Phillies-Mets game.
How ’bout those Flyers?
Yeah, the less said about the Phils’ jaunt to Gotham the better. They faced a knuckleballer for the second night in a row.
With pretty much the same results.
The Phillies bats went dead – especially with runners on base – as they flailed at the offerings of someone named R.A. Dickey. They left 13 runners on base en route to getting blanked, 8-0.
Maybe the National League has finally found the Kryptonite to shut down the most potent lineup in the league.
Knuckleballs.
In the meantime, we’re still three days away from Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs pitting the Flyers vs. the Chicago Blackhawks in the Windy City.
Here’s a thought to cool you off on a late spring day in which Flyers fever continues to crest and the temperatures are supposed to shoot into the low 90s for the first time since last August.
Super Bowl.
Those fun-loving folks at the NFL have decided to play the 2014 game in another one of their brand new palaces.
Just one problem. It’s in North Jersey.
The NFL tried this once before, taking the Super Bowl to Detroit. But at least that one was indoors. A snowstorm made the city a mess and traffic even worse.
Now the NFL will throw their biggest shindig at the new Meadowlands. It almost certainly will break the previous cold weather record for the Super Bowl, which was 39 degrees at Tulane Stadium back in 1972.
Why is the NFL doing this? Because it’s New York, of course.
Does this mean Philadelphia might be in line for a future Super Bowl? Don’t hold your breath, gold standard or no gold standard.
Seeing your breath is more likely. Note to fans heading to that 2014 Super Bowl. Don’t forget the parka and mittens.
