Once is not enough

Having just attended the first of two Eagles open practices, I find that I'm left wanting more. The first practice was cool but not as awe inspiring as in previous years. Am I becoming jaded to the Rock music ballet that Chip Kelly runs? Or am I distracted by the revolving door of Eagles players coming and going. Here come those doubts again, rushing in crowing out my thoughts of Championships and Super Bowls. No amount of rock music can cover up the play or lack of it on the field. And it's starts up front with the offense line. Can the backs-up step up, will a returning former player have his act together? Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of football players, the Chipper knows! That's how I'm going to deal the the doubting demons. I just push them way in the back of my mind and repeat "The Chipper knows, The Chipper knows" over and over till the last pre season game is over and they take the field for real. No matter what happens I'll be their for every game good, bad, ugly. How about you, will I see you in the parking lot?

Who's still on first?

Ok here's the line up. How bad do you think it will be. That said I hear Mon 4/6 opening day game is sold out, so the fans are coming out despite the poor predictions. If you need a ticket Cav has some check it out

The players with the asterisks next to their name are projected to start the season in Triple-A. Pettibone is coming back from shoulder surgery and Martin is coming back from a shoulder injury as well, so they are big unknowns. Same goes for Adam Morgan. Lineup 1. Ben Revere CF (LHB) 2. Freddy Galvis SS (SHB) 3. Chase Utley 2B (LHB) 4. Ryan Howard 1B (LHB) 5. Carlos Ruiz C (RHB) 6. Cody Asche 3B (LHB) 7. Domonic Brown RF (LHB) 8. Darin Ruf LF (RHB) Bench 1. Grady Sizemore (LHB/OF) 2. Cesar Hernandez (SHB/2B) 3. Odubel Herrera (LHB/IF/OF) 4. Jeff Francoeur (RHB/OF) 5. Cameron Rupp (RHB/C) Rotation 1. Cole Hamels LHP 2. Cliff Lee LHP 3. Aaron Harang RHP 4. David Buchanan RHP 5. Jerome Williams RHP 6. Wandy Rodriguez LHP* 7. Kevin Slowey RHP* 8. Jonathan Pettibone RHP* 9. Adam Morgan LHP* Bullpen 1. Jonathan Papelbon RHP 2. Ken Giles RHP 3. Jake Diekman LHP 4. Justin DeFratus RHP 5. Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez RHP 6. Andy Oliver LHP 7. Elvis Araujo LHP 8. Mario Hollands LHP* 9. Ethan Martin RHP* 10. Hector Neris RHP* 11. Luis Garcia RHP*

Dec to Remember or one to forget

As the Eagles approach their final four games of the regular season I have to wonder how this year will be remembered. I remember a Monday night game  back in 2005 when the Seattle Seahawks gave us an ass whooping  42-0. I was thinking, "Who are these Seahawks and how are they kicking our ass." Time marches on but history never forgets.  Is this the season that they take that next step under Chip Kelly and assert dominance in the East?  Are the Eagles going to be hero's or turn out to be zeros? Only time will tell. I'll be there again, hoping and cheering that history doesn't repeat itself.
Where will you be and what will you be doing, cheering or jeering? Stop by and say hello I'm in Jetro's upper Lot "N"  next to pole #3. See you in the parking lot.

Last chance for wanna be Eagles

OK it's the last pre-season game for the Eagles and could be for many of the players who will play tonight. It's the last chance to impress the coaches and get a spot on the roster, which means we won't get to see the starters till Sept 7.  But I guess I still have the return of Mike Vic to look forward to, Not. I still hate him and hope the Jets cut him or some hungry Eagle rookie puts him out of the game.
I'll have to be satisfied with watch the 2's & 3's do their thing which wasn't too bad the last game. I really like our #2 QB Mark Sanchez who really seems to be thriving in his re-incarnation  as a Eagle.

I'm a fan and don't want to hear any talk about trading him. We need an experienced back up and he looks great. On the other side of the coin I'm not looking forward to another sub-par performance from the likes of Curtis "Toasted Marshmallow." Or am I looking forward to more flags thrown than there are plays in the game. It is what it is, pre-season after all and I'm just glad to be there in person.  So until then Go Birds and "I'll see you in the parking lot."
