Hurka Does Sports: Top 100 Philadelphia Sports Moments in the Last 28 Years: #20-11

What a bittersweet day in Philadelphia sports.  The Phillies officially became sellers at the trade deadline, sending Hunter Pence to San Francisco and Shane Victorino to the Dodgers.  It's a shame, because Victorino was one of the few players remaining from that 2008 World Series team, and he made his mark with two of the top 20 moments on this list.  Which two are they?  Read on to find out.

Hurka Does Sports: Top 100 Philadelphia Sports Moments in the Last 28 Years: #30-21

Since everyone has Olympic fever right now, I guess the Phillies getting swept by the Braves isn't as bad, right?  Of course, I'm only joking.  The Phillies have been depressing this season, but let's look back at some more good moments and forget about this year's team.  We're getting close to the top now, and these moments are certainly some of the best that I can remember.

Man, after last night's come from behind win by the Phillies, you had a feeling that things might be turning around for sports in Philadelphia this summer.  Not so much today.  The news hasn't been great in the last 12 hours or so, but it's time to look back at a few moments where things were going more towards Philadelphia sports teams.

Hurka Does Sports: Top 100 Philadelphia Sports Moments in the Last 28 Years: #70-61

After a few days to digest everything that the Sixers have done and watch the Phillies lose yet another game, I'm back with the next installment of my Top 100 list.  Fittingly enough, one of the moments coming up involves the starting pitcher for the Phillies last night.  Which moment was it?  Read on to find out.

Hurka Does Sports: Top 100 Philadelphia Sports Moments in the Last 28 Years: #80-71

Happy post MLB All Star Game!  It was nice seeing Papelbon and Chooch finishing things off for the National League this year, but it sucks to know that unless the Phillies play just about perfect in the second half of the season, it won't mean a thing.  That's one of those moments that I wouldn't put on a list like this, because of the fact that the Phillies are having such a bad year.  What moments did make this section?  Read on and see.

Hurka Does Sports: Top 100 Philadelphia Sports Moments in the Last 28 Years: #100-91

Welcome everyone to the first official post of my new blog here.  Yes, it's going to be about Philadelphia sports, but this isn't going to be about what the Sixers and Flyers have or haven't done during the offseason, or the Eagles getting ready for the preseason, or the disaster that has been the Phillies this year.  Instead, I'm counting down the top 100 Philadelphia sports moments of the past 28 years.  Why the past 28 years?  Because I was born in 1984, 28 years ago.  So sit back, relax and enjoy the list.  The descriptions will get longer the further up we get.

Welcome my friends, to the show that never ends

I just want to take a little bit of time to welcome everyone to this little corner of the internet.  For those of you that haven't read my stuff before, I tend to be a little on the sarcastic side, but when I'm saying something, there's a reason for it.  I've written a blog before, but it was only focused on Philadelphia sports.  Philly sports is still my passion, but I'm going to be writing about more than that on here. Some of the things that I'll be writing about are:

  • TV Shows (both current and re-watches of old shows)
  • Movies
  • MMA (primarily UFC, but possibly more if I can)
  • God awful made for TV movies that air on SyFy
  • Old WWE events (because I can, dammit).
  • Philadelphia sports, of course
  • Anything else I feel like posting about.  It's my blog.
So that's what's on tap for around here.  All I can do is write and ask you all to sit back and enjoy the ride.  Coming up first, I'll be counting down the top 100 Philadelphia sports moments from June 22, 1984 until today.  Why that date?  That's when I was born.
