Sports Bash Saturday REWIND — Nov. 9
Here's what you missed on the Sports Bash Saturday with Matt Hammond on November 9:
-- Matt doesn't think the fact that Nick Foles tied an NFL record with 7 TDs should factor into "franchise QB" conversation. At all
-- Joe Philbin might've told Richie Incognito to "toughen up" Jonathan Martin...
Sports Bash Saturday REWIND — Nov. 2
Here's what you missed on the Sports Bash Saturday with Matt Hammond on November 2:
-- Hate settling for Nick Foles? It's a helluva lot better than reaching on an unworthy QB in next year's draft.
-- Michael Carter-Williams biggest asset isn't production, but how he elevates marginal guys around him...
Sports Bash Saturday REWIND – Oct. 12
Here's what you missed on the Sports Bash Saturday with Matt Hammond on October 12:
Kendrick Shelled As Phillies Lose, 9-2, To Giants
PHILADELPHIA—Michael Young wore the widest of smiles at around 7:05 p.m.
The trade deadline had come and gone. He was back to fielding grounders before tonight’s first inning, sans distractions. His expression didn’t offer an opinion on the afternoon’s absence of trades...
Ruiz, Young Blasts Lift Phillies In 7-3 Win Over Giants
PHILADELPHIA—The night’s agenda provided a refreshing diversion. The Phillies pulled the e-brake on a season-long eight-game losing streak. Fan favorite Carlos Ruiz rocketed his first home run of the season, for the game’s go-ahead runs...
Lee Blasted For Four HRs in Phillies 5-1 Loss To Nationals
PHILADELPHIA—Cliff Lee watched his fourth home run sail over Citizens Bank Park’s right field wall seemingly without blinking. Blank-faced, he turned and knelt for the rosin bag, gave it a few taps, dropped it and outstretched his glove for another baseball...
Hamels Delivers in Phillies 4-2 Win Over Nats
PHILADELPHIA—Cole Hamels’ expression was subtle. After escaping a bases loaded jam in the eighth inning of a three-run ballgame, first with a Ryan Zimmerman strikeout, then a Jayson Werth flyout to the warning track, the Phillies $144 million man coolly paced back to the dugout...
Phillies Survive Papelbon’s Ninth For 3-2 Win Over Nats
PHILADELPHIA—As Ben Revere exited a head-first slide at home, his momentum threw him into an awkward tumble. He recovered, bouncing back to the home team dugout, first with a handspring, then a smile.
It hasn’t always been pretty for these Phillies, but here they are, somehow still on their feet...
Manuel Defends Sandberg’s Third Base Coaching
PHILADELPHIA—It wasn’t close. By the time Delmon Young drew within arm’s (or leg’s) reach of the plate, Nationals center fielder Denard Span’s throw had cracked catcher Kurt Suzuki’s glove with ample time to spare.
Third out logged...
Phillies Back Lee For 4-2 Win Over Nationals
PHILADELPHIA—The last time Cliff Lee took the hill, the state of his team had him venting frustration after the game.
There would be none of that tonight.
For the second straight night against their division rivals, the Phillies punched a complete performance, this time for a 4-2 win over the Nationals at Citizens Bank Park tonight...
