The Sixers weren’t able to pull it out against the Bulls, losing with a disappointing 100-97 score. Unfortunately it seems the Inqy is right: they’re not such a great team this year.

In hoops, the Sixers try to break their five-game losing streak with a win tonight against the Chicago Bulls at the Wachovia Center, 7PM. Broadcast on Comcast Sportsnet, or buy tickets.

Soon after the Flyers signed Briere, they were able to pull the trigger on another deal sitting on the table. Defenseman Joni Pitkanen and winger Geoff Sanderson were traded to the Edmonton Oilers for defenseman Jason Smith and center Joffrey Lupul. Pitkanen regressed last year, and didn't seem as if he would be able to find the focus needed to be a premiere player in Philadelphia. In return, the Flyers received Smith, a hard-hitting veteran blue-liner.

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week.

What long, strange game it was at RFK last night. What matters most is the results: after 14 innings, the Phillies topped the Washington Nationals, 8-7 in 14 innings.

Another not so hot night for the Phils. They failed to capitalize on those little things called “base runners,” and fell to the Washington Nationals, 4-3.

As we feared would happen, Philadelphia-based Comcast's proposed merger with Adelphia Communications won approval Thursday from the Federal Communications Commission without forcing Comcast to make CN8 and Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia channels available to customers of satellite TV and non-Comcast cable systems.

The Philadelphia Phillies will announce today at 4 p.m. that they have fired General Manager Ed Wade. Since we only get happy when bloggers get fired (or, you know, win Pulitzers), we're pretty so-so about this...

The Philadelphia Phillies will start their final series of the regular series tonight when Corey Lidle takes the mound against the Washington Nationals. The Phillies must sweep the series if they have any hope of making the playoffs. Even if they do that, the Phillies need some help: the Astros have three games remaining at home against the Cubs. If the Phils sweep, the Astros need to lose two of their next three in order for the Phillies to tie. The Astros lost to the Cubs last night, 3-2, pulling the Phillies to within 2 games of the Wild Card leaders.

As the Flyers practice without the injured Peter Forsberg and the injured Derian Hatcher, we have to get our hockey fix in other fashions since Comcast Sportsnet inexplicably doesn't cover preseason hockey practices in HD.

The Sixers, in the wake of re-signing free agents Kyle Korver and Willie Green, finally sealed the deal with their top priority, center Samuel Dalembert. The six-year deal will reportedly pay Dalembert something in the range of $60 to $80 million dollars. Dalembert is regarded by many as a project still in the works, but one that has already paid great dividends. Dalembert still needs to work hard on his offensive game, but on the defensive end, he's already become one of the league's best shot blockers. We're just hoping he becomes a little something more than an eloquent Dikembe Mutombo.
