Big series for the Phillies

Sports

It all begins today the race for the N.L. East crown. The Phillies open up a 3 game series with the mighty Mets at 1 today. The Braves lost a tough game last night to the Rockies so now the Phillies are in first place with 3 wins and 4 losses;) Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished in 12th place on Sunday and remains in the top 5 in points. The Flyers start their playoff run on Friday night against the Capitols. They have a very hot goalie right now and that's how you win Stanley Cups.

News/Politics

Well Obama has opened up his lead on Hillary to 7% now. So it's looking like it will be Obama vs. McCain for the Presidency. Its going to be very interesting to see who each of them picks as their running mates. If the election were held today Obama would win by 1%.

Weather

It's been a little chilly around here the past couple of days, it was 76 in Pittsburgh yesterday. It will take a couple of days to get here but it should be in the upper 70's by Thursday. I still have not received my thermometer yet but it should arrive today.

Family

Cecil,Pops will be staying with us for a while starting next week. We can't wait for that, will now have reality tv buddy;) The only problem being we are having a hard time keeping up with Dancing With The Stars and American Idol due to Big Brother and Biggest Loser. Oh well I guess if that's our toughest choice that's a good thing:0)

SPORTS

WOW the Flyers,76ers and Phillies all won tonight. The 76ers and the Flyers clinched playoff berths!! The Phillies won 8-4 tonight and are now 2-2 with a game tomorrow afternoon. They start a HUGE series on Tuesday with the Mets.

NEWS/POLITICS

Well oil keeps going through the roof it cost me $45 to fill up my little Honda the other day. Barack Obama has just taken the lead on Hillary in PA. Last week Hillary led him by double digits. It will all come down to who McCain picks as his running mate. I am really hoping for Mitt Romney at this point

WEATHER

Well this has been a boring time for the weather. I has been overcast and rainy for the past 3 days. I just won a Brookstone 5-day weather forecaster on ebay and it should be here next week. I can't wait!!!! I have been trying for this since the start of winter when we saw it in the Hamilton mall with Kim and the girls. Okay well I better get some sleep. I hope you all enjoy my new homepage (Thanks to Kim and Tim). See you all tomorrow.
