Has the Sixers’ need for a shooter been addressed?
According to (keep in mind this makes me sick to my stomach saying his name on my blog) Howard Eskin on NBC 10’s Sports Final last night, the 76ers will soon sign or have signed Kareem Rush.

Top 3 Reasons Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams Haven’t Been Signed
Posted by Dannie | July 24th, 2008
Everyday I read another Sixers fan complaining about the time it’s taking to sign Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams. As a fanatic as well I too understand the anxiety of not having two of the team’s best players not signed this late into the off-season. With that said I also fully understand WHY this is the case. When you think about the situation from the point of view of why, it gives, at least for me, some piece of mind. [...]
Brotherly Link Love: Long Weekend Addition
Posted by Dannie | July 24th, 2008
Haven’t done one of these posts in a while, but I figured it would be good since I won’t be around this weekend to write a new post. So hopefully the multiple topics I toss out there via the links below will help keep the conversation going through the weekend.
Sixers sign Royal Ivey
The Daily News is reporting that the Sixers have reached an agreement with back-up point guard Royal Ivey. I have been a big fan of this guy from [...]
Wow.

Could this be the game that breaks the Phillies out of the funk they’ve been in the for the last month? I mean, good god, if it’s not, I’m not sure it’ll happen.
Going into the 9th, the Phils were looking at 2nd place for the first time since the beginning of June. Flying past them would be the Mets, who shut them down with their ace, Johan Santana, chugging along with the momentum of a $130 million freight train. [...]
Are the Phillies Really Cheap?
Posted by Pete | July 22nd, 2008
There has been a lot of talk on this site, and several other places, about whether or not the Phillies’ ownership really cares about winning and is putting up the amount of money they should to make the team better.
We’ve heard this forever, but I’ve seen very little to actually back up the claim or at least show that we are different from other MLB teams. Since we don’t write anything on this site without doing our research, I [...]
Holliday and Fuentes to the Phillies? Would you do it?
Posted by Pete | July 21st, 2008
Since the Joe Blanton post has trickled over in to speculation about the rumored (and apparently dead) blockbuster deal between the Phillies and the Rockies, I figured I start a new post to get people’s opinion about the deal.
For those of you who don’t know, the rumored deal was Matt Holliday and Brian Fuentes to the Phillies for Shane Victorino, Carlos Carrasco, Lou Marson and J.A. Happ. Here are the arguments for each side of the trade:
For:
Holliday would give [...]
Louis Williams: The Forgotten Sixers Free Agent
Posted by Dannie | July 20th, 2008
We are deep into the Sixers off-season, and thus far most of the conversation has been about the Elton Brand signing, the Andre Iguodala contract situation and the 76ers summer league squad. So it got me thinking, what about Louis Williams?
There hasn’t been much talk about the fans’ feelings regarding his future with the team and his contract situation. Williams hasn’t received any offers so far this season although many teams have reported interest. The most [...]
Joe Blanton to the Phillies! Phillies Fans React with Negativity!
Posted by Pete | July 18th, 2008
I think this is a very good move by the Phillies. I got about 5 texts from excited friends that loved this move. I figured everyone had to love this move. Then I turn on Radio-950 to try to find out who the other 2 prospects were and I’m greeted with the host saying “I think we just acquired another Adam Eaton.” Then I check out my blog when I get home, and while the mood isn’t completely negative, it’s not quite as positive as I think it should be. So I’m going to analyze this move by making counter-points to the things I’ve heard people saying about this move. [...]
The Andre Iguodala Contract Situation
Posted by Dannie | July 17th, 2008
What’s taking so long to sign Andre Iguodala? His take…
I’m sure everyone wants to know what’s going on with my contract situation. Everything is kinda in slow motion right now, which is for the most part normal for all restricted free agents. Teams come in and out of play each day and my agent and I are taking our time to see how things develop with the Sixers and around the league. The Elton Brand deal was huge and I feel he will be a huge addition. The opportunity to play with a dominant low post player still in his prime will be exciting. - Iguodala9.com

Phillies Rumors: Phils Turning Attention to Blanton
Posted by Pete | July 17th, 2008
Clearly Pat Gillick has been a frequent visitor to ReclinerGM and saw that the public didn’t think that A.J. Burnett was a very good idea. In response, he has turned his attention to a different target, A’s pitcher Joe Blanton.
According to ESPN.com, talks on Blanton have “accelerated,” possibly by the realization that Adam Eaton, as mentioned in the Phillies mid-season review, is literally the WORST starting pitcher in baseball. [...]
