As tough as it is I must give credit to the Phillies for taking care of the Dodgers and advancing to the World Series for the first time in fifteen years. (Jimmy Rollins holds the National League Championship trophy in above photo). Obviously we have a number of Phills fans in this area and this is a big deal for them because they are accustomed to failure and disappointment and now they find themselves in the series for just the sixth time going back to
1903. The Phillies lost in 1915, 1950, 1983 and 1993 and won their only championship in 1980 but they’re now just four wins away from ending years of frustration for not just the franchise but the city. The NBA’S 76ers were the last major team to win a championship in Philadelphia and that comes out to 100 seasons of no title for the Phills, Sixers, Eagles and Flyers. Is the streak about to end or will Philly fans again have their hearts broken?
The Toms River-Ocean County Chamber of Commerce hosted the two major candidates for the 3rd District Congressional seat during a luncheon Wednesday. Democratic State Senator John Adler and Republican Medford Mayor Chris Myers spoke to chamber members and answered questions focused on the economic situation in Ocean County. Both were very impressive and agreed on many of the issues, especially those facing the business community during these rough times.
In speaking with people I have come to one conclusion about the Presidential election. Just about everyone is looking forward to November 5th, the day after Election Day.
It looks like our stretch of above-average warm days will come to an end today with the weekend looking very much like a fall weekend. Highlighting the weekend will be a much-anticipated football game Friday night between Southern and Toms River North. We will preview that game in depth tonight on the “AutoLenders High School Football Show” which airs from 6-8pm on the Shore Sports Network, including 1160 WOBM AM.
