Forget who’s starting game three. Should Cole Hamels have started game two? I recall too well my mental and emotional state the day my first kid was born, and let’s just say anything I would have tried to write that day would have read like Sylvia Plath on an ether binge. Plus there’s this issue […]

Lucas Glover: Was this a one-shot deal a la Shaun Micheel/Ben Curtis/Todd Hamilton or a springboard to great things?
I’m not inclined to jump hard on either of those choices. Before yesterday, you could say Glover had had an underachieving career. He made a President’s Cup and barely missed the last Ryder, but had won only […]

Ruppie just paraded into the newsroom to announce that Sergio Garcia will never win a major, prompting a rant (that’s ironic, Ruppie prompting a rant from somebody else.)….
There are a very, very few golfers in history (Tiger, Nicklaus, maybe Bobby Jones in a far different time) who knew how to win majors without first learning […]

A couple reactions to the Phillies’ insanely ridiculous, and yet quintessentially Phils-esque, win over the Fish Wednesday:
1. Sunday News photographer Jeff Ruppenthal is legendary for many things - praising the fans who threw batteries at J.D. Drew, for example, or predicting that the Sixers would win and lose (sometimes in the same day) every playoff […]
