What a Great Sunday to Be an Philly Sports Fan!

Wow What an day in Philly sports. First we have an CG from Roy Halladay as the Phillies win 2-1 over the Astros. The Phillies are now 5-1 and heading back to Philly for the Home Opener 2010. Tomorrow the Phillies (5-1) vs face off aganist the Natonals (3-3) at 3:05 pm Cole Hamels (1-0 3.60 era) will go for the Phillies and Jason Marquis (0-1 with an 13.50 era).

Then we had the Flyers who needed an win vs the Rangers to get into the playoffs if they lost the Rangers will be go into the Playoffs. The Rangers had an 1-0 lead in the third when Matt Carle had the game tying goal. The game went into overtime and then a shootout, Daniel Briere scored on the first shot for the Flyers then Erik Christensen of the Rangers was stopped by Flyers goalie Brain Boucher, Mike Richards missed the Flyers second shot and then the Rangers P.A. Parenteau scored to tie the shootout at one apiece after two shooters. Claude Giroux then made a wonderful shot and grabbed the lead. So it was up to Olli Jokinen vs Brian Boucher if Boucher stopped the puck from going in the Flyers were going into the playoffs and HE DID! The Flyers are in the playoffs as they will face off against the NJ Devils.
