Phillies Baseball Has Given Us A Fantastic Summer So Far

Article Written by Billy Schweim

The Phillies swept the Los Angeles Dodgers and proved to any doubters that they are the best team in baseball.  The 2024 Phillies are the second-fastest team to 60 wins in Phillies Franchise History (1976 Phillies got there in less games).  Now at 61-32, an eye-popping 29 games over .500 and on pace to win 106 games, the Phillies are fun to watch on TV and in person.


The Phils dominated the Dodgers scoring 19 runs while Phillies pitching only allowed five runs during the three-game series.  The team Batting Average was .320 and they crushed seven home runs, taking advantage of a Dodgers team with multiple pitchers on the Injured List.


What a big series win as a national audience watched the Phillies continue to perform at a high level in front of their beloved fans at Citizens Bank Park.  Their home record is now 36-14 and is the best in the National League.  The Phillies welcome the Oakland Athletics to Citizens Bank this weekend for the last three-game series before the All-Star break. Go Phillies!!


The Philadelphia 76ers continued to fill out their roster by bringing back Kyle Lowry and the Flyers community caravan made stops in North Wildwood, Ocean City, and Sea Isle this week to promote Flyers Hockey. 


The Philadelphia Eagles open up training camp in 11 days in South Philadelphia.  The Birds' first preseason game is Friday night August 9th in Baltimore against the Ravens at 7:30pm.  You can hear all the Eagles action on 97.3 FM ESPN Radio South Jersey.


Finally, the WNBA All-Star game is next Saturday, July 20th and The Locker Room with Billy Schweim will talk about all the hot sports topics this weekend!


On Saturday’s show, Producer Nick Earnshaw and Mike Carlin join me in the studio.  We will talk about our Phillies in the first hour.  With the WNBA All-Star game set for next week, we will talk with the seventh leading all-time scorer in New Jersey basketball history Dakota ( Hitchner) Keller.


In Hour Two, with the Eagles 11 days away from training camp we talk about the Birds. Then it’s the Beach Patrol report with Former Lieutenant of the Ocean City Beach Patrol Jack Brooks brought to you by McCann Realtors of Sea Isle City and the Ocean City Lifeguard Alumni Association.  This week we will review the results of the Michael McGrath Memorial Lifeguard races from Longport.  We will play our interviews with some of the competitors. 


On Sunday’s show, my Locker Room youth movement is back in the studio: Producer Danny Ryan and "The Intern” Andrew Leeds will join me to discuss the weekend in sports.  Every Sunday throughout the baseball season we go “On the Mound” with former Phillies pitcher Tommy Greene brought to you by Blitz’s Market in Ocean City. Tommy talks about the state of the Phillies as we get to the MLB All-Star Break.


Plenty of Eagles, Sixers, and Flyers talk this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim, tune in every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to Noon on 97.3 FM ESPN Radio South Jersey.
