Phillies are back in MLB Playoffs while Eagles look to start 4-0

The Philadelphia Phillies clinched a National League Playoff berth for the second year in a row on Tuesday night.  It was the first time the Phillies celebrated a playoff berth at home with their fans since September 18, 2011.  "Red October" is back and the Phillies look to recapture the magic that captivated us all last year.  The Phillies are 19 games over .500 and are waiting to see who they will host in the first round next week.  This Saturday we go “On The Mound” with former Phillies Pitcher Tommy Greene brought to you by the John R. Elliott Hero Campaign for Designated Drivers.  Tommy joins The Locker Room with Billy Schweim each week to talk Phillies Baseball. 

The Philadelphia Eagles remained undefeated thanks to their win on Monday Night Football.  They defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 25-11 thanks in part to the Eagles defensive line dominating.  The Eagles defense limited the Bucs to only 41 yards rushing and Eagles Rookie Defensive Lineman Jalen Carter is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with.  Running Back D’Andre Swift turned in another outstanding game rushing for 130 yards on 16 attempts.

Every Sunday during the Football season we will be Broadcasting Live at the Caesars Sports Book inside the Tropicana in Atlantic City.  We preview the Eagles Week Four matchup with the Washington Commanders and get you ready for the NFL Sunday slate of games. 

On Saturday’s Show, former Kansas City Chiefs Wide Receiver Dave Klemic and Producer Andrew Leeds join me in the studio.  We will recap last week's Eagles victory and preview Sunday’s game against their division rivals in Washington.  Then we go “On The Mound” with former Phillies Pitcher Tommy Greene and ask him about the Phillies hunt for Red October for the second straight season.  In Hour Two, we will talk with the Sports Book Consigliere Dave Sharapan, who is joining the show live from Las Vegas.  "The Book" will analyze this weekend's big games in College Football, NFL, and look ahead to the MLB Playoffs.  Plus we will be giving away two $25 gift certificates to Capt’n Chucky’s of Sea Isle City to a lucky listener who answers our trivia questions; Make sure you tune in and then hit up the text board at 609-403-0973.   

On Sunday's show, we invite you to come join me, Mike Carlin, and Josh Hennig as we Broadcast Live for the Caesars Sports Book inside the Tropicana Casino property in Atlantic City.  We will be broadcasting from 10 am to 12 pm and then you can stick around to watch the Eagles game with us!  Every Sunday throughout the Football season we get the “Keys to the Game” with Fox 29 News Sports Anchor and 973 ESPN Eagles Writer Scott Grayson, brought to you by Blitz’s Market in Ocean City.  Scott breaks down what the Birds need to do to remain undefeated in NFL Week Four.  Then in Hour Two, we will hear from my Fantasy Football Guru Brian Hartley brought to you by Charlies Bar and Restaurant of Somers Point.  "The Guru" will tell us which players to start and sit for Week Four of the NFL season.

All that and more this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim heard every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to Noon on 973 ESPN Radio South Jersey.
