PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The City of Brotherly Love is riding high after sticking it to the Big Apple last week.
First, the Phillies swooped in from nowhere and signed Cliff Lee away from the Yankees. The star pitcher turned down an extra $30-plus million from New York to return to Philadelphia and be part of a starting rotation that’s the envy of baseball.
Next, the Flyers beat the Rangers 4-1 Saturday after snapping Pittsburgh’s 12-game winning streak a few days earlier.
Then the Eagles capped off a spectacular week by overcoming a 21-point deficit with 7:28 remaining and beating the Giants 38-31 Sunday on the final play – DeSean Jackson’s 65-yard punt return that’s being called the “Miracle at the New Meadowlands.”
