It's Finally Sunny in Philadelphia

So the Phillies did it - and with some authority - taking the Series from the Rays in 5 games. So will Phillie fans now forgive Mitch Williams in the way Sawks fans forgave Buckner? Will John Kruk weep on the set of Baseball Tonight? Will Cole Hamels donate that new Chevy Camaro to Bleacher Preachers? Only time will tell, but if you've been listening to the Preachers, you knew the Phils were going to win it all along. If only the economy were as easy to predict!

The Rays Win the Pennant! The Rays Win the Pennant!

OK, so it wasn't exactly Bobby Thompson vs. Ralph Branca in '51, but the Rays and BoSox did give us one heck of a series. And, to the relief of Yankee fans, the Rays move on to face the fightin' Phils. So who do you like in the series? BJ, Carl, and Evan or Ryan, Cole, and Chase? Should be a fun one - and a refreshing matchup as well.

Also feel free to chime in on Week 7 of the NFL or the first BCS rankings of the year or what ever else you feel like spouting off about. We're listening America!

Pennant Fever

So the first round was more or less what we expected. Cubs out in 3. 100-win Angels bounced in 4. Yeah, I'm sure we all thought back in April that Manny Ramirez would be leading the Dodgers to the NLCS and the Tampa Rays would be right there on the World Series doorstep. Oh yeah, all pretty predictable. Not! But at least I have Joe Torre to pull for and my Phillies pick is still alive. Now if only someone could take out the BoSox this might not be so bad afterall.

Anyhow, our apologies to anyone who tuned in this week as the station wasn't up and runnning. We'll be back on the air again this Tuesday from 5-7 so tune in and drop us a line in the meantime. And for those who hadn't noticed, the Giants are 4-0. Shhhhhhhhh! Maybe it's best to keep it a secret.

Octoberfest Begins!

After an exciting last week (fun for some, heartbreaking for others), the baseball playoffs are about to get underway. Yankeeless, Metless, the show must neverhtheless go on. Will the BoSox repeat? Will the Cubs break the last great sports curse (sorry for the pic Cubs fans, but I couldn't resist)? Or will the Rays continue their improbable run? You decide!

Farewell To The House That Ruth Built

This week we'll be saying goodbye to Yankee Stadium.

Are You Ready for some Football?

If you're a Yankee fan like me, football couldn't start soon enough this year. So let's start off with predictions (since we all like to look foolish from time to time). Let us know your 12 playoff teams, your Super Bowl combatants, and your champion - if you dare! And, yes, one week of the season is over already, but I'm sure that won't help us all that much, Tom Brady's injury aside.

The Summer That Was

As Bleacher Preachers took a few months off, we wanted to give our listeners a chance to chime in on what they made of the sports summer that was 2008. Whether it be the surprising Rays, the Met turnaround, the mediocrity of the Yanks, ManRam, the Favre Saga, Michael Phelps, or the Usain "Lightning" Bolt, let us know what you thought or, for that matter, are still thinking.
