Weekly Update 4-4-05

Hope everyone had a great spring break. Today is the first day back and major league baseball's opening day. Let's look at this week's update:

Phillies News: At Citizen Bank Ballpark, the Phillies outlasted the new look Washington Nationals 8-4. Jon Lieber picked up the win with a great performance. Kenny Lofton had a 3-run home run, and Pat Burrell was perfect at the plate going 3-3. This series against the Nationals continues April 5th and 6th.

Sixers News: The 76ers won in Boston on Sunday afternoon, 97-93. This allowed the 76ers to trail the Celtics by only 3 games for the Atlantic Division title with 9 games remaining in the season. During the game, 76ers forward Kyle Korver broke the team's single season three-point record with 198 made. The Sixers still own a playoff spot in the 8th hole, and trail the Cavaliers and Pacers by 2.5 games for 6th.

Eagles News: The Eagles are getting ready for the 2005 NFL Draft on April 23rd and 24th. The Eagles have 13 picks with 5 of those in the top 94 picks. Experts say that the Eagles will address their needs at offensive line and defensive line or trade some picks away for higher picks next year. On the rumor mill, Eagles WR Freddie Mitchell should be gone by draft day. The Eagles are in talks with the Vikings to send the receiver for two picks in the 2006 draft.

That's the update for this week. Big Ups to UNC for winning it all tonight. GO TARHEELS! Adios.

I like that Freddie Mitchell trade. I dont know how you feel about him but I think he is all about Freddie and not enough about the Birds. He is easily replacible. The Philz bumped their record to .500 today with a big 13-4 win against the Cards so that was nice and Jon Lieber picked up his second win. I am real happy for Williams to finally get his championship, he deserves it.

What is your take on letting go of Freddie Mitchell?? I always thought people that he was a good asset to the team.

Freddie Mitchell is a bum who runs has mouth to much. I don't expect him to be around much longer.
