New NHL Divisions & Expansion Possibilities

       While the rumor mill was spinning that the new NHL schedule was to be released today, that turned out to be false due to the NHL still working out travel arrangements for the necessary 3-week Olympic break in February.  Nonetheless, what better time to start thinking about October.  There are more big changes coming to the NHL this year than there have been in a while. (unless you count last year's changes i.e. hacking the amount of games by 34)  The biggest of these changes is the new divisional alignment.  A point that many hockey fans are split on. (personally I don't think it was necessary)

'The Challenge' Fantasy League. Week 1

       Hello, readers.  We have no doubt entered into troubling times.  That time of the year where there is no NFL, NBA or NHL action happening to quench our sports pallets.  This is the time where we must either watch the Phillies (a great option) or turn to cable television for our entertainment.  The Phils are at .500 entering the All-Star break and on the cable television end, MTV's hit reality show about ex-reality stars who have forgotten how to work real jobs and must compete in the jungle for their living wages has returned for it's 24th season.  That's right.  The Challenge is back.

Phillies Top White Sox, Head to Break at .500

    The Phillies topped the White Sox this afternoon to take the series 2 out of 3 and hit the .500 mark right in time for the All Star break. After playing 24 innings of baseball combined yesterday in the process of splitting a double-header, the Phillies topped Chicago by a score of 4 to 3 this afternoon.

Phillies Top Nats, Take Series

    The Phillies squeaked out a win tonight to top the Nationals and take the series three games to one. With the help of some shutdown pitching and just enough timely hitting, the Phillies pulled out the win 3 to 1.

The Phillies don't always win, but when they do... celebratory Dos Equis. Read onward!

Phillies Squish Nats

    The Phillies topped the Nats and made tomfoolery of their "Natitude" tonight as they won 3-2. As is typical, the Phillies didn't score many runs, but with the help of some shutdown pitching, before the closer entered the game, they were able to pull out another division win.

The one clawed "Rally Crawfish" approves of this win. Read on!

Phillies Top In-State Rival Pirates

    The Phillies defeated their in-state rival the Pittsburgh Pirates last night by a score of 3 to 1, proving that the only good thing to come out of Pittsburgh in recent years was The Dark Knight Rises. While it wasn't an overpowering showing at the plate, its still nice to see the Phillies beat the team with the best record in the league (no you're not seeing things, the Pirates are doing good, for now).

Phillies Drop Game, Series to Dodgers

    The Phillies dropped yet another game this afternoon as they fell to the Dodgers 6 to 1. The Phillies lost 3 of 4 out in L.A. and still look lost on the field. Two days after breaking out for 16 runs, the Phillies typical offense showed back up as they struggled to produce in any way.
