McNabb and the Eagles agreed late Thursday to restructure the final two years of his contract instead of extending his current deal. McNabb will collect $24.5 million over the next two seasons, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. That’s a $5.3 million raise over two years.
Hopefully this new contract will inspire Donovan to pull out all the stops and get us to the Super Bowl again and hopefully the outcome will be better. With these new young wideouts we added to the roster, Donovan will have plenty of targets to go to. Desean Jackson should have another breakout season, Kevin Curtis is back healthy, and we need to get Maclin signed ASAP and get him to camp.
Westbrook's rehab is on schedule and should be ready to go for the regular season barring any set backs. It is still up in the air wherther he will get any playing time in the preseason.
Ryan Howard had a game tying homer last night in the ninth to send the Phils to their third consecutive extra inning game, but is was all for naught. This time they fell short in 13 innings in a 5-2 loss to the Red Sox.
Blanton allowed five hits, two runs and two walks and struck out seven in seven innings. But Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester pitched even better. He dominated the Phillies. And the rest of the Boston bullpen followed suit, too
After Lester allowed two hits, one run and two walks and struck out 11 in seven innings, Boston's bullpen allowed three hits, one run, three walks and struck out nine the rest of the way.
The Phillies set a franchise record with 20 strikeouts, although the nine-inning record remains Oct. 6, 1991, when Mets right-hander David Cone struck out 19.
