There are really two strategies towards maximum Philidelphia Eagles Sunday Funday goodness. The first, as I discussed last week is finding your Eagles watching castle, then populating it with fellow Reidaphiliacs. The other is finding a group and taking a more nomadic approach; moving form bar to bar until you find the DeSean Jackson to your Donovan McNabb. Finding a good group can only amplify the good qualities of a bar, such as: atmosphere, prices, and the size of TV that the Eagles game is on. It can also insulate you from outside influences, such as people who root for the local team or, god forbid, non-football watchers. This week complete domination of your local gin mill is imperative. In addition to the normal Eagles party, the Philadelphia Phillies play Sunday. If you watched game one, you know you’ll want to watch it. This means you need control of at least two big screen TVs, not including side TVs for fantasy reports and big plays. You’re not going to get this on your …

In the next stop on the ghosts of play-offs past tour tonight the Philadelphia Phillies take on the Los Angeles Dodgers (8:07 pm EDT) for the National League Crown. This year the Dodgers are better and we can’t take a 2-0 lead at home before going to LA. Still the Phillies haven’t spent the season resting on their laurels, and again there’s that pesky on the road record the Phils have that really makes it difficult to count them out no matter what ball park their playing in. There’s also the clutch hitting the Phightin’s showed in the top of 9th to clench game four against the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers, however, are better than the Colorado Rockies by at least two games. I’ll let ESPN catch you up on the past, here’s what you should look for this time around.

Pitching: This will be as big a deal as people make it out to be. Bull pen pitching will make or break the Phillies. We can win if we don’t use our pen and …

After the Philadelphia Phillies win to move on to the NLCS the first thing that comes to mind is football, right? It is if you’re involved in logistics planning for Philadelphia. In what may be the ultimate jinx ever, The Philadelphia Eagles game will be moved to accommodate the possibility of a game 4 World Series game in Philly. This move also effects the start time of the Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers game the same day, assuming Brett Favre allows it. This is actually an uncharacteristically nimble move by the NFL, and the City of Brotherly Love. They realized that, perhaps, having two capacity crowds try to change places was not the best move. Obviously this won’t solve the problem of most people who go to the Eagles game staying around for the Phillies game and there still won’t be any where to park, or move, but I digress. The really interesting part is who we may play that day. The Eagles will be playing the New York Giants. Bud …

I know that we all love how football makes getting drunk on Sundays socially acceptable but that doesn’t mean you should through back shots at just any old ram shack. Remember when you’re not in Philly every bar is not a Philadelphia Eagles bar. In a foreign city you’re competing with not only local fans but other transplants and even people that don’t watch football, trust me they do exist! Locating a steady, Eagle friendly, dive will not only increase the fun you have during the game, it can also lighten the load on your wallet. Getting to know the bartenders leads to comped, and strong, drinks. Find a good bar can be trial and error, but rather than waste all of that time just take use my helpful hints to avoid any wasted time.

Don’t be a sucker for specials. Nickel a wing is great and all but not if you have to sit through the Cleveland Browns vs. Saint Louis Rams game because that’s the one o’clock game on Fox. Saving money …

The Philadelphia Flyers came out swinging in their home opener against the play-off caliber Washington Capitals in what boiled down to a shoot out between Alex Ovechikin and Flyers captain Mike Richards. Richards won, propelling his team to a 6-5 in overtime. The Flyers left with a 3-0-0 record and a hat trick for Richards. The Caps left with a disappointing loss and continued goaltender uncertainty between Jose Theodore and youngster Simeon Varlemov who shined in last years playoffs. The flyers scored four goals in the second, chasing Varlemov from the net. “The atmosphere was awesome,” said long time Flyers fan and season ticket holder Ryan Myers, “Early in the game it was clear that both teams’ hockey sense had matured. In previous years, when both teams were younger, they came out as pure energy; they were all go, go, go. Last night, there was a noticeable change in style and pace and a hint of tentativeness in the early period but both teams found their form in the 2nd.

The first period showcased the talents …

The Philadelphia Phillies pair off against the Colorado Rockies today at 2:37 pm EDT to begin their bid to win back to back World Series. This creates an interesting match because the last time these teams played the winner, not the Phillies, made it all the way to the World Series, where they lost to Boston Red Sox in a demeaning fashion. As your calling out sick, updating ESPN feverishly, or scouring twitter for updates (while you’re there make sure that you’re following Hot Stove Philly). Here are some things to watch for during the game:

Your Boss/Manager: It’s unlikely that your relationship with your superior will have any effect on the outcome of the game unless you’re answering to Charlie Manuel. This does not mean you should ignore the likely ire that your watching baseball during work will ignite! This is the first game in a long play off that is becoming infamous for oddly timed games, largely blamed on Baseball’s waning audience; you don’t want to get caught on first day. I …

One debate about the postseason roster ended Wednesday as veteran left hander Jamie Moyer was officially declared done for the season.

The 46-year old pitcher suffered three torn tendons in his groin and lower abdomen on the final pitch of his win over the Houston Astros at Citizen’s Bank Park on Tuesday. Moyer got four outs in the sixth and seventh innings of the Phillies 7-4 victory, setting up Ryan Madson for a six out save.The injury occurred when Moyer fell awkwardly to the ground on a pitch that got Houston’s Jeff Keppinger to fly out to deep centerfield to end the inning, and for Moyer, the season.

The injury will require surgery, and team doctor Michael Ciccotti said he was optimistic that Moyer would be ready to return by the start of spring training. He also noted that this was a timetable common for all players suffering this injury, and had little to do with Moyer’s age.

“This is an injury that does occur at all …
