Down the shore, in the 70s and on your seven day, 79 saturday. 79 sunday. Guys look at this. A fine stretch of weather the next chance of rain will be on thursday. Enjoy it. Kathy, of course, its all about the eagles right now. The starters usually play into the second half, but if they look this good all the time, why play in the preseason that long carson wentz and offense going early and going often. Check out who good they looked and how their new weapons looked. Thats coming up next in sports. Now with tomorrows traffic heres bob kelly. Good evening, everybody. Get ready to ride the bus instead of the trolley. Septa route 10 trolley will use buses between 33rd and 63rd street over the next couple of days in order to get some track work done. Also, watch for the closure of 22nd and 23rd streets right at the the jfk boulevard intersection for the next couple of days as well. Again, Construction Projects and lace up your sneakers, get ready for the philly 10k kicks off on sunday. Were going to see a lot of setup in preparation in south philadelphia starting tomorrow. Well check the jam cams. Scotty has got your weekend forecast. Well see you right here starting at 4 00 a. M. The eagles in fir final dress rehearsal game before the season starts because most of the starters really wont play in the final preseason game. Usuallusually, this game they py into the second half of this one but Doug Pederson saw all he needed to see in the first quarter. Getting loose on the field like offense did. Weve been asking for torry smith and get what, we got him. Check this out right here. A blown coverage leads to this and of course the person who blew the coverage byron maxwell. 50yard bomb. Thats torrys first catch of the preseason. Now to the dolphins ronnie darby got exposed in many game. One thing he cant teach and thats height. Parker leaps over darby. Takes it 72 yards that would set up touchdown. Now later in the first, carson right here steps back and hits Alshon Jeffery for the td that ties the game up and thats all we needed to see from the starters they got yanked because carson was taking too many hits. Now in the second cj smith gets the tip. Michael kendrick get the pick. Thats his third pick of the preseason. Hes been balling making the case he should be a starter all the time. Eagles go on to within 3831. Feeling good about everything especially the wide out. I feel real comfortable with where theyre at. Um, theyre focus obviously now in a couple of weeks, and, you know, they can get some really good work, you know, oneonone work in these next few practices and, um, you know kind of get ready for the regular season. So happy to get both those guys tonight in the end zone and kind of catapult the offense, you know, into the regular season. To the phillies they a day game across the street at Citizens Bank park. They were looking to even out the fourgame series with the marlins but one, lose or draw the phillies they may have found themselves a few super star. Hoskins was at it again check this out in the second inning hoskins with the solo shot to left. 400 feet. Thats his eighth homer in 15 big league games. Balling he went two for five. Three rbis but unfortunately the phils take the l9eight. To the yankees and the tigers this thing was wild. Look at this. Miguel cabrera the thrown thrown behind him, the pitcher gets toed. Joe girardi gets toed. Then check this out. Dell pushes, throws a punch. And its on. Listen this was wild. Everyone came out.
