It wasn’t that long ago that the sports fans of Philadelphia were feeling really good about themselves. When most of us went to bed on Thursday night, the Phillies had swept the Rockies, the Sixers closed out the Raptors, and the Eagles made some nice moves in the NFL draft.
Fast forward 24 hours and we’re feeling miserable. On Friday night, the Flyers lost their season finale (although the finale part actually qualifies as good news), the Eagles used a second-round pick on a player at a non-premium position who might not get to start for two years, Joel Embiid has a broken face, and the Phillies got no hit by the Mets.
