    Big 2nd-half run leads Penn State over La Salle

    BOX SCORE STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — John Giannini couldn’t pin it on one thing. From an offensive and defensive perspective, La Salle’s head coach said everything went wrong during Penn State’s dominating eight-minute stretch in the second half — a 17-4 run that ultimately led to the Explorers’ 79-72 loss Tuesday night at the Bryce Jordan Center (see Instant...

    McCoy never misses a beat in Eagles' victory

    Breaking ankles, and shortly thereafter, Twitter, LeSean McCoy and his knee looked perfectly fine after ripping off a scintillating 21-yard run in his preseason debut. Just ask Carolina Panthers cornerback Drayton Florence. In the first quarter of the Eagles’ 14-9 win over the Panthers on Thursday, McCoy received a handoff from Nick Foles, bounced it outside as opposed to barreling…

    Schierholtz, Phils consider what might have been

    Nate Schierholtz never had much of a chance in Philadelphia, and that’s why he walked into Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday a member of the Chicago Cubs. Schierholtz was traded to Phillies last season on July 31 and made quite the first impression by homering in his debut with the team. But a broken toe and a herd of outfielders…

    With switch to right field, Ruf's bat stays hot

    Whether he’s positioned at first base, in left field or across the way in right, Darin Ruf and his approach in the batter’s box remain the same. Consistency is something Ruf has focused on since joining the Phillies in early July, but in the field he’s been jockeyed around quite a bit. The 27-year-old call-up began his time in...

    Barwin helping Cole, Graham with switch to OLB

    Former Houston Texans standout Mario Williams was off to a blinding start in 2011. Just five games into the season, the former No. 1 overall pick racked up a quintet of sacks and forced a fumble, but he didn’t do it in the same role that propelled him to 48 quarterback takedowns in the previous five campaigns. After starting 77…

    Hamels tabbed with no-decision despite gem

    Collecting wins hasn’t been Cole Hamels’ forte in 2013, whether or not it’s been his fault. On Thursday night against the Giants, it wasn’t. The Phillies southpaw was stuck with a no-decision despite tossing eight scoreless innings and substantially helping his own cause by driving in the Phillies’ only run of the game. Hamels, now standing at 4-13 on...

    Brad Lidge retires a Phillie, reflects on memories

    The memory is still clear as can be for Brad Lidge. From the grip he had on the baseball, to the screaming pile of players on top of him and Carlos Ruiz, the final pitch (and its subsequent result) of the 2008 World Series remains a vivid series of events to Lidge. And even though he said it’s a feeling…

    After busy few days, Long catching up with Eagles

    From California to Philadelphia and strength workouts to football drills, the last few days have been a change of pace for recently signed outside linebacker Travis Long. Long, who underwent rehabbing and strength and conditioning workouts for eight and a half months, was finally back out on the field when he suited up for his first practice with the Eagles…

    Gold Cup hero Shea hurt in friendly vs. Union

    CHESTER, Pa. — Hobbling off the pitch with his arm around a trainer, Stoke City’s Brek Shea walked by the Sons of Ben to a spattering of “U-S-A!” chants. The moment was unlike his previous trips to Philadelphia, and it certainly didn’t reflect the kind of week Shea was having to that point. The winger led the U.S. men’s...

    Penn State raises charity funds with Lift For Life

    STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — With some bragging rights between offense and defense on the line, Friday evening in Happy Valley provided both a dose of actual competition and jovial camaraderie. The Penn State football team — almost three months removed from its annual spring game — put on a show once again for loyal fans at the university’s lacrosse fields….
