Philly Sports Talk...


I took a Photo, I took a photo...

What Eagle Loss would you want back?

70% say the 2004 SB, but I say it was the 2002 NFC Championship game
vs TampaBay. Eagles had dominated the Bucs earlier in the season. Gruden,
Tampa's Chuckie Doll
famously said, we could beat the Eagles in the middle of the
Walt Whitman Bridge! and they did...

Chuckies team went on to beat the Raiders in the SB & Chuckie still
stalks our attic!

Another philly sports killer was the "Havlichek stole the ball" moment



And just one more...who can forget Chico Ruiz stealing home in 1964?
The 1964 Phillies' famous late-season collapse, known as the Philly Phlop, was made all the more remarkable by the fact that the Phillies, who missed the pennant by a single game, lost two games in late September on steals of home. The latter and more significant came at home against the Reds, when rookie infielder Ruiz shocked everyone, including his manager, by stealing home with two outs in the top of the sixth and Frank Robinson at the plate. Ruiz's run proved to be the only one in the game as the Reds won 1–0, starting the Phillies on a 10-game losing streak that saw them fall from 6 1/2 games up in the standings to third place, 2 1/2 games out with two to play.
looking at the photo for the 1st time since '64. I'm thinking the Phillies catcher
was looking for a guy running from the Dugout trying to steal home?

But Philly Fans are...? about the future.
