The big story this morning is about a young couple - him a Penn grad, her a Drexel student - who allegedly burglarized neighbors' apartments, stole identities, made fake driver's licenses, and opened phony credit card accounts, all in the name of living the high life. The two were arrested Friday, but are free on bail. The Daily News has a more detailed look at some of their scams in an article with a typically...

So the Phillies made two trades. Whoopee. Did they get who they wanted for two first class major leaguers? No. Not by far.

We had so much hope in Ryan Madson, the hot young thing that could be the stable leg in the Phillies' starting rotation. Wrong. He got shelled last night for nine runs, and it only took him an inning and some change to do it. Hey, we know it happens, but this is a bad time for a Phillies pitcher to self-destruct early in a game, especially with a bullpen that’s already overtaxed. They managed to hold the Nats to one more run for a 10-4 loss, which give the Phillies a whopping 2-7 record at home.

The concept, developed by Aldo Lamberti who owns and operates a number of Italian restaurants, brings the Amalfi Coast to Walnut Street through décor, cuisine and pleasant hospitality. Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the General Manager who asked if we would like to sit at the bar or in the dining area – a solid, legitimate, question. After a very long career and countless meals in the hospitality and restaurant world it has been concluded the old saying “there’s no such thing as a stupid question” doesn’t apply in the restaurant world, so it is extremely appreciated when asked one that makes sense.... The décor includes mammoth, backlit images of beautiful gardens, coastlines and architecture of Positano as well as starched linen clothing (which was a bit weird because each item was outlined with a visible blue magic marker line) reminiscent of the clothes worn in the Southern Italian heat.The menu, encouraging the table to share family style, featured a variety of small plate options of starters and entrees.

The most interesting facet about the Phillies' just-concluded search for a new general manager isn't that they hired a proven winner who had built three other franchises into playoff teams and was the architect of the fantastic Blue Jays squads of the early '90s, squads that won a pair of World Series.

The Phillies will announce today at noon that 68-year-old Pat Gillick is their new General Manager, replacing former GM Ed Wade, who was fired on Oct. 10.

How'd the first day of the SEPTA strike go? Well, it depends on who you talk to.

Hey, look, we're back visiting blogs! And we're linking to some of the same blogs! And some new blogs! Wowee! This blogging thing truly is going to change the world.

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 entered their weekend series needing a sweep of the Washington Nationals to keep hope alive in their Wild Card chase. They got their sweep, but unfortunately, they needed something else: the Cubs to take three of four from the Houston Astros in Texas. While the Cubs were able to take the first two games from the Astros, they dropped the last two games, sending the Phillies home for the winter.

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.
