"High Hopes"


Spring has sprung in South Jersey and so has hope for the sports world. The ice has melted t he mercury is rising and as is the hopes for the Phillies this season. While the Flyers and sixers are so bad they can't draw even half a stadium anymore, people went nuts earlier this week to buy Phillies tickets. They don't even start till April!



Jimmy Rollins has declared that the 2007 Philadelphia Phillies are the team to beat. There is a huge buzz going on right now around the team. Why not with all the starters they will have on the mound, and Ryan Howard, Chase Utley back and likely better this season.


I am not saying that the William Penn curse will end this year, but I don't know if it has been this up in the air in a long time. The players are all young still and in their prime, and not yet bored with the game.


The season at the very least will likely be one we are talking about for many years from now.
