What a 24-hour period in our nation’s capital. The Phillies once again staged a ninth inning two-out comeback to beat the Nationals. This time, it was Derek Hill doing the honors. Yes, you read that correctly. Pinch-hitting after Kyle Schwarber worked a 10-pitch walk, Hill locked in and delivered the greatest Phillies swing since last […]

Today, though, I think we may have finally reached the peak. I’m […]

Nothing is confusing about this. What part don’t you get? Alex Freeman scored the second goal for the U.S. in its win against Australia on Friday.

The Sixers selected Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. with the 22nd pick of the NBA Draft on Tuesday, and while many have praised the pick as one of the best of the first round, others argue the move made little sense for a Sixers team with more glaring needs. There’s a lot of chatter out […]

Katherine Rosman and Ken Belson have a dual byline on a New York Times story titled “Dianna Russini Was an N.F.L. ‘Insider.’ Was She Also Out of Bounds?“ The Times owns The Athletic, which is the outlet Russini recently resigned from because of the Mike Vrabel scandal, so the intersection here is somewhat curious, but […]

The Sixers took Labaron Philon Jr. with the 22nd pick of the NBA Draft on Tuesday night, and by pretty much all accounts, this was an excellent pick. Philon was projected to land in the 9 to 19 range, so for him to fall to 22 was a pleasant surprise for the Sixers front office, […]

England couldn’t score a goal against Ghana. Pathetic! Not only that, but there were two flash point incidents from the nil-nil draw: That’s a penalty. The defender launches himself, gets none of the ball, and lands on the attacker’s thigh. I’ve seen counterarguments that Ezri Konsa gained position and therefore Prince Adu is contacting him, […]

There was some hubbub about Bryce Harper recently, manufactured radio slop from 94 WIP and Spike Eskin, who called the Phillies 1st baseman a “selfish” player when Harper said this after hitting for the cycle: “I’ll tell you what: I don’t really care what people think about my base running because that’s how I’ve always […]

Saw this story on Action News about mutating mice and evolving rats: If the thought of mice and rats makes your skin crawl, then the phrase “mutating mice” probably sounds like something out of a horror movie.
