Early Eagles impressions

By Joe Miegoc | Published: August 13, 2010 | 0 Comments
You had to like what you saw in the Eagles early in their first preseason game, getting a field goal from David Akers on the first drive and a three and out from the defense. Brent Celek dropped a touchdown on third down inside the 20, but Kevin Kolb made good decisions (for the most part, [...]

Well done Elliott

By Joe Miegoc | Published: July 31, 2010 | 0 Comments
LONG POND – You’d be hard pressed to find a more popular winner than Elliott Sadler. After years and years of struggles since what everyone thought was a breakout 2004 season in the Cup Series, Sadler returned to Victory Lane by winning the inaugural Camping World Truck Series Pocono Mountain 125 at Pocono Raceway on Saturday. The [...]

Back to Pocono

By Joe Miegoc | Published: July 31, 2010 | 0 Comments
LONG POND – Just arrived here at Pocono Raceway, my earliest Saturday arrival time in the six years I’ve been coming to this lovely three-turn track. The Camping World Truck Series is currently on the track qualifying for this afternoon’s Pocono Mountains 125. As noted before, the series is using a unique qualifying process, sending trucks [...]

Almost a wrap

By Joe Miegoc | Published: July 30, 2010 | 0 Comments
LONG POND – Friday here at Pocono Raceway is just about done, for me anyway. Tony Stewart was the unexpected winner, to himself and me, of the pole, edging out an even more surprised Juan Pablo Montoya, who figured his qualifying lap was good for around 15th. Stewart has a good history at Pocono, just not [...]

Ah Pocono

LONG POND – I’m here at Pocono Raceway, listening to Kurt Busch do an interview session in the media center (he’ll be in the No. 22 car next season, but still driving for Roger Penske). Not a whole lot going on up here, but I just arrived a few minutes ago so who am I to [...]

Phillies steal Oswalt

By Joe Miegoc | Published: July 29, 2010 | 0 Comments
I didn’t think it could happen, but the Phillies got Roy Oswalt without giving up their top hitting prospect (Jonathan Singleton), pitching prospect (Jarred Cosart) or having to deal Jayson Werth for prospects that would have eventually been shipped to Houston. Nope, Ruben Amaro Jr. did it again. Just like he did last year when he [...]

How classy

By Joe Miegoc | Published: July 22, 2010 | 0 Comments
You just knew with how horrible the Phillies’ offense has been that someone was going to be the fall guy and it turned out to be hitting coach Milt Thompson, who was fired late Thursday night. When teams slump and do it for as long as the Phillies have, a person in charge of whatever aspect [...]

Phillies trade talk

By Joe Miegoc | Published: July 21, 2010 | 0 Comments
Is Roy Oswalt coming to Philadelphia? Will Jayson Werth be shipped out? Can this season be saved? All valid questions with very tough answers. First on Oswalt. Obviously there is a connection with Ed Wade being a former Phillies GM and now the GM in Houston, but I’m not sure what that all means since Wade [...]
