Let the Countdown begin

- As of today, April 5th, the Phillies are only 42 losses from their 10,000th loss, which I'm predicting will occur sometime in July. This is a tremendous feat for such an inept franchise. They would become the first professional sports team to reach such a milestone, so this is kind of a big deal.

- Speaking of the Phillies, the worst possible scenario has occured. The Phillies were swept at home(despite great efforts by young guns Brett Myers and Cole Hamels), by a heated division rival to start the season. Ryan Howard could not produce in the clutch. The bullpen collapsed in two of the losses. Their big time aquisition, Adam Eaton, failed miserably in his first start. The Phillies did this last season. When we pay attention to them, they can't win. When something else is happening in the city(ie training camp, NFL preseason), they can't lose. In addition, the Phillies, much like last season, can only score by hitting home runs.

- Several members of the Penn State Football team are in serious trouble for participating in a altercation at an apartment down the hall from the residence of my girlfriend. The names of the players involved in the fight have not been made public, but from reading some more into the story, it seems some big time stars on the Nittany Lions could be in some serious trouble. My love for Penn State Football supersedes justice that some people receive if chargers are pressed against some of these players. I hope this story goes away.

- The Sixers did everything possible to lose to the Knicks, and they still won.

All in all, it's not a great time to be a fan of any of the Philadelphia teams(and Penn State!). The teams that are suppose to lose and winning and vice versa.
