Not sure what to say here other than I’m stunned. Phillies legendary announcer Harry Kalas passed out in the Nationals press box today and was rushed to the hospital. He was later pronounced dead.
The cause of death hasn’t been released at this time, but Kalas did undergo surgery in February which caused him to miss most of spring training.
I simply don’t know Phlllies baseball without Kalas. Even all the years that the Phillies were unwatchable, they were watchable because you could always listen to Harry. I remember when I was in school in Boston and we were watching “Inside the NFL” on HBO. Harry was doing the voiceover and I told my friends that this guy is our baseball announcer. They looked and me and said, “this guy does your baseball games??!” His voice was that great. Anyone would have loved to listen to him for 162 games.
“We lost Harry today,” David Montgomery, the team president, said. “We lost our voice.”
The Phillies will still play their game today against the Nationals, but they have cancelled tomorrow’s visit to the White House to meet with President Barack Obama.
Kalas was 73 years old and had been broadcasting Phillies games since 1971.

If it seems like we are talking about the Bills constantly, it’s because we are. Marshawn Lynch, Roscoe Parrish, Terrell Owens, and don’t forget about Jason Peters.
Oliver Perez gave up eight runs in just 4 1/3 innings as the Mets fell to the Cincinnati Reds 8-6 today.
Roger Goodell decided recently that he’d prefer that NFL players didn’t get arrested on weapons charges. How do we know? Well, he suspended Marshawn Lynch for three games after Lynch was arrested in California on gun charges back in February. A search of the car that Lynch was riding in produced a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun in the trunk.

The Dallas Morning News made a great decision in asking Cowboys TE Martellus Bennett to blog for them. He struggles a bit with the written word, but it shouldn’t matter because his keen insight on life will make up for it. So what does he blog about?
CC Sabathia, the big pitcher that the Yankees got a great deal on in the offseason, decided that rather than throw a baseball to a catcher repeatedly, he would just take a big wet dump on the pitchers mound.
It’s confirmed. The Oakland Raiders
