Phillies fall to Giants 3-0 in Game 3. I would pitch Halladay in Game 4 if he is ready and able, then take my chances with Blanton in Game 5. You don't want to go down 3-1 in this series.

I was in the 10 items and under express lane at the grocery store the other day behind a woman that must have had 30 items in her cart...GRRRRR.

It has been 25 years since I put on a uniform and played professional football, but because of my association with the Philadelphia Eagles I am afforded the opportunity to be on the field for some games. The players are bigger and faster these days, and the collisions are beyond belief. The problem here is that football is a violent game, and player decisions are made in the blink of an eye. I don't believe you can legislate the game to be less violent. Sometimes there are inherent risks with anything you decide to do.

Speaking of concussions, Sixers Head Coach Doug Collins missed yesterday's preseason game with a recurring headache he's had since suffering a fall around Memorial Day. If he thinks he has a headache now, wait until he tries to coach this team in an 82 game NBA season with no legitimate big man and mediocre talent. Pass the Excedrin!

Actor Tom Bosley died yesterday at the age of 83. Goodbye Mr C, thanks for all the Happy Days you gave us in the 70's.

And the beat goes on......
