There's something Philly sports fans haven't seen in a while -- Brad Lidge celebrating a save.
What a great morning to be a Philadelphia sports fan.
The Eagles won easily Sunday, beating terrible Tampa Bay, 33-14, and not only that, Donovan McNabb is back and played well, throwing three touchdown passes. I guess having Kevin Kolb play well while he was out served as motivation. Rookie receiver Jeremy Maclin showed why he was a first round pick, catching two touchdowns and having the kind of breakout game that propelled DeSean Jackson into stardom.
True, it wasn't the greatest performance and the Tampa Bay is a wretched team and the Eagles' victories this season have some against teams that have combined for one win.
But the Birds will take it.
And then, the Phillies take the field in Denver and beat the Colorado Rockies in a marathon game in which the Phils needed, and got, solid pitching from its bullpen. Brad Lidge, yes, that Brad Lidge, even recorded a save.
Chase Utley had a big game. Ryan Howard got some timely hits.
One more victory and the Phils are back in the NLCS.
