The Flyers return to the ice tonight looking to reverse a start that has them looking up at the rest of the NFL. The Orange and Black are a sickly 1-7.
The Sixers got smoked again last night in the exhibition opener. This debacle has all the makings of a 20-win season. If they get some breaks.
Michael Vick continues to nurse a balky hamstring. His status for Sunday's key NFC Least game against the Giants is still to be decided. He'd better be ready to go, in light of the fact that last week's starter, Nick Foles, has not yet practiced this week after suffering a concussion in his brutal outing.
No, these are not the glory days for Philly sports fans.
Where have you gone, Shane Victorino?
Uh, to the World Series, actually. Yes, that was Victorino and the Red Sox rolling to a big win over the Cardinals in the opener of the Fall Classic last night.
It just so happened that last night's Game One took place on the same date as another game Philly sports fans likely have tried unsuccessfully to erase from their memories.
Yes, it was the very night that Joe Carter hit that rocket into the bullpen in Toronto, lifting the Blue Jays over the Phillies in the deciding Game 6 of the 1993 World Series.
Things will get better, Philly fans.
Just don't ask me when.
