Things got hot in LA this weekend and it looks like we may have a real series on our hands. A few head-seeking fastballs, a little bench-clearing, and a whole lot of jawing just turned this NLCS into a tense and competitive slugfest. Game 4 is tonight. Joe Blanton is winless in Chavez Ravine this season. Derek Lowe is pitching on 3-days rest. Gear up, Philly, this could get good as the Phils try to take control in a 3-1 series, or allow the Dodgers to knot it up at 2-2.

But clearly not Philadelphia's.

After losing to the Knicks (81-89) on Friday and beating the Charlotte Bobcats away Saturday night (103-96), the Sixers hope to score big at home: seven of their next eight games are at the Wachovia Center. Catch them Wednesday battling the Milwaukee Bucks at 7PM (get tickets or watch).

Hockey was gone for a year and a half, but you wouldn't know it judging from the first half of last night's opening game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Rangers. Sure, a lot of the names and numbers were different, but the standard that we had gotten used to in Philadelphia over the pst 4 or 5 years pretty much held true: the Flyers were very good and the Rangers weren't (in other words, they sucked).

The Philadelphia Flyers return to the ice tonight, playing a nationally broadcast game to kick off the NHL's new season.
