Flyers Take Control of Game, Beat Caps in OT 5-4

       Going into the third period today the score was 2-2 and both teams had registered 17 shots.  Talbot and Read scored for the Flyers and Backstrom and Green scored for the Capitals.  The third period was undoubtedly one of the most eventful periods of hockey this season though.

Keys to Phillies 2013 Season

    With Opening Day on Monday, it's time to go through the keys to the Phillies 2013 season.  If the team hopes to rebound from a disappointing 2012, they will need quite a few things to happen.  So with that said, lets move into my keys for the 2013 Phillies.

La Salle's Remarkable Season Comes to an End

    The clock struck midnight on the La Salle Explorers Cinderella season last night as they fell to the Wichita State Shockers by a score 72-58.  The size advantage the Shockers had proved to be simply too much for the Explorers as they were overwhelmed in the paint.  In the contest, Wichita State out-rebounded La Salle 44 to 23, and did a ton of scoring in the paint.

Questions Remain for Halladay as Phillies Head North

    Roy Halladay and the Philadelphia Phillies wrapped up their Grapefruit League schedule this afternoon.  The Phillies topped the Blue Jays by a final score of 7 to 2 with the help of home runs from Chase Utley and Laynce Nix.  Halladay pitched mediocre in the game, after struggling for much of the spring.  Halladay struggled with command yet again, while his velocity was slightly up from previous starts.  In four and one-third innings pitched this afternoon, Halladay allowed two runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out six.  The Phillies now head north to play two more exhibition games against the Blue Jays before opening the season on April 1 in Atlanta.  After a disappointing 2012 for both Halladay and the Phillies, both will be looking for rebound seasons in 2013.

Hamels Will Contend for Cy Young in 2013

    Cole Hamels had his final tune-up this afternoon before he will make the first Opening Day start of his career on April 1st against the Braves.  Hamels was sharp in his brief outing against the Tigers today, as he faced off against Justin Verlander.  Hamels tossed three shutout innings, while allowing one hit and one walk.  On the day Hamels also struck out three as he finalized his Grapefruit League ERA for 2013 at 0.95.  The Phillies managed to squeeze out four runs and win the game by a score of 4 to 1.  After the completion of a strong Spring Training for the Phillies left-hander, Hamels appears poised to compete for the NL Cy Young in 2013.

Phillies Bats Sting Rays

    The Phillies topped the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 10 to 1 in this afternoon's contest at Bright House Field.  The Phillies pitchers had a very solid outing on the day, but it was the hitters who truly stung the Rays.

La Salle vs. Wichita State Preview

    Thursday night in Sweet 16 action, there will be a battle of two underrated squads, both hoping to continue their Cinderella run.  While most of the attention nationally is going to Florida Gulf Coast, and rightfully so as they are a 15 seed in the Sweet 16, La Salle versus Wichita State is a game guaranteed to send a Cinderella team to the Elite 8.
