Philly SportsCast #254 – December 2, 2010 There's nothing like a Thursday night Eagles game to get the 'ol Evenrude crankin' and this week was no different. While the Eagles gave us all something to think about, there's no doubt this team can overcome adversity and win the games they must win. This was a night at the Rover - a good time and a good win.

Philly SportsCast #253 – November 18, 2010 Winning makes everything better - kicking the Washington Redskins' ass all over town like the Eagles did on Monday night is enough to drive Philly Sports fans bananas - in the best ways. We hop you enjoy this podcast as we had a blast talking about one of the most spectacular wins in Eagles history. Kevin Kolb? Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #251 – November 4, 2010 We are all together again at the Irish Rover and it's all about Davey Lopes and the Eagles. Why are we capping the discussion at just these two subjects? Because we, once again, can't seem to get this mixer on the right track. We apologize for the echo and promise to have it fixed next week.

Philly SportsCast #249 – October 21, 2010 With a Phillies victory last night, we can all rest assured that the season will not end in San Francisco. Thank God, as that stadium and the fans who reside in it, are as bad as any in the National League - maybe it's because they don't know what brooms are for (http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/john_gonzalez/20101022_Gonzo___Giants_have_rally_thongs_malfunction_against_Phillies.html). AS far as the Eagles are concerned, this one is all about the quarterback and who should be behind center for this team once and for all - and it's not Michael Vick. Enjoy and thanks to @ukeaglesfan (http://twitter.com/ukeaglesfan) for coming out.

Philly SportsCast #247 – October 7, 2010 It was magical, spectacular, stunning and more. But the best part of Roy Halladay's no-hitter to begin the Phillies 2010 playoff run was that it happend in Philadelphia, in front of one of the most raucous crowds I've (Derek) have ever been a part of. Of course we talk Phillies on this one - but we also have Dave's take on the Flyers and all of us on the Eagles loss, at home, against Donovan McNabb and the Redskins. Now that was awful. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #245 – September 23, 2010 All eyes (and ears) are on Philadelphia right now as the Phillies are kicking all kinds of National League ass and the Eagles have turned all kinds of loony tunes. While replacing Kevin Kolb with Michael Vick certainly gives this team a better chance to win this season, what does it say for the state of the franchise as a whole? Who's really in charge here? If it's Andy Reid, how the hell can an individual change his mind - I mean a total 180 - over the course of only a few hours? And then tell the kid who has been told that he's the future of the Eagles that he may not be on the roster past the trade deadline. Crazy. Insane. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #244 – September 16, 2010 We all saw it and it's never fun going all over it again but the Eagles are in a pickle and have now established themselves as the disappointment of the year. With Michael Vick coming in against Detroit this week and Andy Reid continuing to be the same mediocre coach - there has been no improvement in a team that surely is rebuilding. How can you not get a little better even when you are rebuilding and can you truly rebuild this team with the same management in place? On a much better note, the Phillies are rolling at just the right time - Woot! Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #243 – September 10, 2010 It was nice to take the show on the road last night and the folks at the Irish Rover were more than accommodating. Doing the show in front of a few Philly sports fans can be a little hairy because these people are just as passionate about the Phillies and the Eagles as we are - and it shows. Remember, it's not a prerequisite to being a fan that you have to predict them to win every game. We at Philly SportsCast have the Eagles going 6-10 this season. Does that mean we want it to happen? Absolutely not. However, let's be realistic with this team and having them in the 2010 playoffs is not realistic. Enjoy and please feel free to send feedback our way via the forum (http://www.phillysportscast.com/forum/forum/podcast).

Philly SportsCast #241 – September 1, 2010 It's nice to return from a week's vacation to the Phillies playing well and hitting the ball like we know they can and (perhaps just as much fun) watching the Mets sink once again. Our hatred for all things Mets has not waned - it keeps us warm in the wintertime. However, as we turn our attention to the Eagles it's very hard not to be realistic about this team's prognosis for 2010 - we go through the schedule and it ain't pretty. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #240 – August 11, 2010 It's the little things that keep you movin' tin this wonderful world and these little things are what has powered the Phillies to the National League wild card lead. While it's been a while since this team has hit a home run, finding ways to win is what matters in a playoff race and - let me be the first to tell you - it's gonna be a hell of a ride. We also get into Emoney's trip to the now Donovan McNabb loving capital city and we find out just how difficult it is to get a bunch of cool ones for the family. Reminder: We are off next week. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #204 – August 11, 2010 This week we talk about the fact that we are witnessing some serious baseball this year by a team that knows that if it can just hold on until the big bats come back, it can do serious damage in the playoffs when combined with the starting pitching put together by Ruben Amaro Jr. We also reflect on Eagles training camp, Kevin Kolb's "training" on how to handle the Philadelphia media and celebrating the team's 1960 championship. Yes, the last time the Eagles won anything was in 1960 - and being reminded of that makes some of us a little angry/sad. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #239 – August 4, 2010 Sure, the Phillies are winning games despite losing all of these all-star players to injury and Jayson Werth's pathetic batting average over the past few games (Soul Patch snapped an 0-for-24 slump last night with a single in the ninth. Before that, he'd struck out seven straight times over two games) - but it's the injuries that are making the headlines. We all pretty much though that the ankle sprain that will cost Ryan Howard three weeks in August was going to be the back-breaker for this team. How can they win without the dude who's been carrying them all season? Well they found a way last night and they found a way the night before. There's something to be said about this team people and perhaps the Charlie Manuel manager of the yer talk should begin soon - especially if this team remains in the hunt through September. Having said all that - the main focus of this show and it's reflective in the title - is the Eagles, training camp and injuries. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #238 – July 28, 2010 Rejoice! Roy Oswalt is now a Philadelphia Phillie - too bad the Phillies couldn't make this deal before we recorded. No matter, with the amount of Carlsberg flowing in the basement - at least for one of us - I'm not too sure we would have gotten word. Thanks goes out to ESPN for the opening audio. Nice work Jayson Stark and really nice work Ruben Amaro. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #237 – July 21, 2010 With Emoney on vacation, it's up to Dave and Derek to take care of what ails us - and this week it's the Phillies. Boy, is it the Phillies.

Philly SportsCast #236 – July 14, 2010 With the second half of the baseball season getting underway tonight we call on the Phillies to do what they do best - win games in the second half of the season. It's time for this team to get healthy (or as healthy as they can) and start taking control of a division that's theirs for the taking. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #235 – July 7, 2010 What we have here is a Phillies team waiting for the second half of the season to begin. Really? Is it that or is this a team that is way too injured to put whatever pieces it can muster together for two-and-a-half hours to win games? They may just not have it this year, people. Is that a reality fans in this city can stomach? What Philadelphia fans may not be able to stomach is this brewing Michael Vick fiasco. We join radio hosts in town along with columnists (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20100708_Gonzo___Face_the_music_on_Vick.html) who are calling on the Eagles to carry out their original plan with this this guy - zero tolerance. We also, have the inside scoop on what went down when Vick met with NFL commissioner Rodger Goodell about this latest run in with the law. The transcript can be found here (http://www.phillysportscast.com/forum/topic/breaking-eagles-news#post-53). Finally, the podcast is highlighted this week with a clip from Dan Levy's excellent show. Dan had an opportunity to bring on former Inquirer columnist Stephen A. Smith and have the biggest mouth straight out of New York explain his very shady journalistic practices. The latest? Smith takes a wild guess about Lebron James' future. While we only have a clip, the full interview can be heard here at onthedlpodcast.com (http://onthedlpodcast.com/2010/07/sas/).

Philly SportsCast #233 – June 23, 2010 While we usually wait until the end of the Phillies game to start recording the podcast, we joust couldn't sit in the heat of the basement that long and if we head to the bar, we may never get this thing in the can. So we missed being able to talk about Jimmy Rollins' walk-off and that's a shame because it was surely something to cheer about. Enjoy.

Philly SportsCast #232 – June 16, 2010 With all of the changes going on with the site, it was also a nice change of pace to see the Phillies hit the ball and score some runs. While I firmly believe that one hit, one inning or one game will break the Phillies out of this dismal stretch - I'm not so sure last night was the game that ended their slump. I also want to say here that I hope you all like the changes to Philly SportsCast, but understand that some of you do not. I want to assure everyone who's been with us for a while that all of the original stuff is going nowhere and all of it can be accessed by clicking the 'PSC' link in the top navigation bar. As always, we appreciate comments and suggestions - you can do so by commenting on this post directly or anytime here (http://www.phillysportscast.com/forum/forum/philly-sportscast-comments).

With the Flyers about to face the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals we dedicate this show to them - how they got here, how they can win and if they can win. Hell yes they can win. Thanks to this week's special guest - it was a blast having you over, buddy and always fine when we can get Emoney off mic for a little while. Enjoy. Let's go Flyers!

Philly SportsCast #228 – May 12, 2010 How many of you had the Flyers in seven? OK - how many thought it would go this way? We join the wild ride the Flyers are on and talk Phillies and perhaps a little too much Sixers. We also have a frank discussion on just how much of a sucker yours truly is. RIP Mike 'Big Pook' Calderbank Enjoy.
