Get Outta Delaware Park Week 8: Evan Turner Ain’t Ever Scared!

Ok, so the Sixers kicked off the 2010-11 NBA season yesterday with a predictable loss to the Heat. What wasn’t predictable? Evan Turner played like a stud. Look at this stat line: 16 pts on 7-10 shooting, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. And he did this with Lebron James and Dwyane Wade guarding him all night. In his NBA debut. Narsty. Turner played the way we all want Iguodala to play: hungry, aggressive and simply not scared at all of anybody. Iggy played like he always does: scared, content to shoot jumpers, lethargic. He’ll be traded this season to…

Which Trilogy is Better?

Ok, so to get my mind off of the Phillies failure, the Raiders went out and historically curb stomped those dirty Denver Donkeys.  Yea!!!  But unfortunately, that euphoria didn’t last and as the reality of the Giants/Rangers world series (Ugh, I just threw up in my mouth) set in, I realized that I needed a little pick me up.  My pick me up of choice?  Taco night with a side of that Nic Cage classic:  Face/Off!  And wow, I was not disappointed. As far as acting goes, I don’t think it gets any worse than Travolta and Cage in…

Don’t Ever Throw the Ball Back

So that’s it.  Let it sink in.  The Phillies baseball season is over. Every single game was a nail biter, every game had waaaaaaay more runners in scoring position than usual, and every game had almost all of them stranded. A startling fact was presented to me earlier in this series: at the end of this year, every starting Phillies player will be 30 or older.  I think this is an inevitable sign of the downhill path the Phillies have ahead of them, and the sad sad future we have ahead of us. Maybe I’m just in a terrible…

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 7: Stupid Rodeo Clown

And that’s that. The Phillies are done. (And here is where an older sports writer would insert: Finished. Defeated. Kaputz). Done in by the hand of a freaking rodeo clown reject. Did anyone else read that story about Cody Ross not becoming a rodeo clown to become a major league baseball player? I didn’t. But I did read the headline and all I could think of was: This!? This is who we’re losing too!? This!!!!!!?????? A stupid rodeo clown? Man oh man, what has happened to our beloved Phillies? Their pitching has been ok, if you can ignore the…

My Nickname is Chooch!

Last night we all witnessed the Phillies destroy the Giants.  The series is tied at 1-1 heading into San Francisco and Cole Hamels is taking the mound for us.  I’m pumped.  After that ridiculous Game 1 loss, I was distraught. The best part of that entire game last night was the Philadelphia Phillies introducing themselves in the line-up.  Carlos Ruiz in a broken spanglish accent says “My neeeckname es Choooch!!”  It took me a little searching, but I found the video, and some other gems from last night.  Enjoy! {youtube}Xuf_J_QJRms{/youtube} *I also had a video of a fan who…

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 6: The Biggoron Sword

Heyo.  I’m a little late posting my picks this week for two reasons. 1.) It’s been crazy at work.  Moreso at my job coaching than my other job writing. 2.) I’ve started playing Legend of Zelda The Ocarina of Time again and that game is the grrrrrrreeeatest game of all time.  No joke.  Look it up.  So yeah, while I’ve been searching for eye drops to get me that Biggoron Sword, I’ve been negelecting my duties here at Theheadrush, and I haven’t been walking my dog or cleaning my cats litter box.  They’re crying, but I ain’t hearing it. …
