The Phillies!

Good morning. The Phillies dropped two of three to the Mets, the Flyers didn’t get Jonathan Bernier, and the Sixers didn’t hire a coach yet. But hey, DeSean Jackson is still alive! So that’s good.

Let’s hit it!

 

But first, a word from our sponsors:

Dawk. Meet Brian Dawkins next Sunday at the Sports Vault in the Moorsetown Mall from 1- 3 p.m. Details and tickets here.

Dom. Get Philly Phaithful’s new t-shirt right here.

Great ticket deals. Very cheap Phillies tickets at Crossing Broad Tickets.

Survey says. An update on those surveys: The reception has been tremendous. Most of you are clicking through with no issue, and site visits have actually gone up since we started using them 11 days ago. As a result, and as you can probably see, our dependence on advertising has lessened a bit. Still, some of you are confused by why there are “grey lines” blocking out text. Simply answer a survey question (or two) once per day and that will go away. Each survey question answer helps to support the site. As always, thanks!

 

The roundup:

CB over the weekend:

There’s an awkward relationship between Paul Holmgren and Ilya Bryzgalov’s agent, Rich Winter. Frank Seravalli doesn’t buy the verbal leakages coming from either party, and in not doing so he claims that Bryz bragged to teammates about getting “paid double.”

Charlie Manuel said the Phillies will score 10 runs when he knocks Howard Eskin out.

Cliff Lee and Chooch wearing cool t-shirts and posing with young women.

 

Badass Ed Snowden flew to Moscow over the weekend attempting to avoid extradition to the US. Today, he was scheduled to be on a flight from Russia to Cuba. He checked in for two seats, causing a bunch of media to board the flight, yet he never showed. Instead, spy movie:
