Don’t look now, but there is another team in town.
Maybe you remember them. No, they don’t wear red pinstripes. You can kiss them goodbye until spring. And even longer than that for Ryan Howard, who went under the knife Wednesday to repair that ruptured Achilles. Don't look for him in Clearwater. He's likely on the shelf until at least April.
These guys don’t have wings on their helmets, either.
They wear orange and black. The Flyers have arrived just in time to help us get past our Phillies/Eagles hangover.
They ran their record to a sparkling 3-0 last night with a dynamite 5-4 win over the Canucks in their home opener.
Check out the coverage from Anthony SanFilippo and columnist Jack McCaffery.
In the meantime, the Eagles are putting the wagons in a circle. Michael Vick surfaced yesterday to point out the team’s lousy start is not Andy Reid’s fault. Vick is pointing the finger of blame – at himself. Check out Bob Grotz’s story.
And Charlie Manuel met the press yesterday and said he agreed with G.M. Ruben Amaro’s statement the day before that the Phils need to take a different approach at the plate. Ryan Lawrence has all the details, including an update on Howard.
