Okay, Deep Breaths, Please


Your Phightins are 1.5 up with 4 to play. (The Mets have 5 left). The Birds are 2-1, which ties them for last in the division-or third, if you're a glass-half- full kind of person.

Phils: Looking good. From where I sit, they need to win two of these last four to win the division, preferably three. The Nationals, for whatever reason, play the Phils tough, and they're in town for the last three games of the season. In other words, let's win tonight, huh Brett?

Eagles: I don't know about this team. I have serious reservations about the pass defense and pass rushing. Here's a quick breakdown of the last two games.

Dallas-good offensive line. No sacks. Pass Defense shredded. Loss.

Pittsburgh-terrible offensive line. 9 sacks, 4 more tackles of the QB for short gain. Defense only gives up 6 points. Win.

Not hard to figure out. When we play a team with a good O-line, we lose. When we play a team with a bad O-line, we win. That makes this team mediocre. Injuries to McNabb and Westbrook are troubling, as is LJ Smith's consistent lack of ballsiness.
Eagles stock: Down.
Phillies stock: Up.
