The Philadelphia Phillies open their 2024 playoff run Saturday afternoon against the New York Mets with the first pitch at 4:08pm.  This will be the first time the Phillies face their National League East Rivals in the playoffs.


Separated by 94 miles, these two teams and their fan bases do not like each other and with the teams in such close proximity, there will be a lot of Mets fans at Citizens Bank Park.  When the Sixers played the Knicks in the 2024 NBA playoffs, Knicks fans invaded the Wells Fargo center. It was a travesty for Sixers fans to sell their tickets to that many Knicks fans. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen during the MLB playoff series against the Mets.


The Mets were the hottest team in the second half of the season and advanced to the NLDS with their dramatic win against the Brewers.  The Phillies need to be at their best especially considering they could see three Left Handed Starting pitchers in the series.  The Phillies won the regular season series 7-6 but three of those losses to the Mets came when Taijuan Walker was on the mound for the Phils and he will not be pitching in the playoffs.


The Philadelphia Eagles were once again beaten badly by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as Tampa Quarterback Baker Mayfield torched the Eagles defense for 347 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-16 decisive victory.

The Birds have a bye week which allows Philly Sports Fans to concentrate on the Phillies this weekend!  We will cover it all this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim


On Saturday’s show, Producer Nick Earnshaw and former Kansas City Chiefs Wide Receiver Dave Klemic join me in the studio.  We will get you pumped up for the Phillies vs Mets Saturday playoff game and go “On the Mound” with former Phillies relief pitcher from the 2008 World Series Champion team Scott Eyre.  Scott is relieving Tommy Greene this week and brought to you by Blitz’s Market in Ocean City.  Scott will tell us about his playoff experience with the Phillies. In Hour Two, we will hear from MR. Negadelphia P.J. Corda on the Eagles and Phillies teams brought to you by Galloway Pool Service. 


On Sunday’s show, Producer Danny Ryan joins me in the studio.  We will recap the Phillies vs Mets playoff game one and preview game two.  The Eagles are on their bye week but we will talk Eagles football and get the “Keys to the Game” with Fox 29 News Sports Anchor Scott Grayson brought to you by Blitz’s Market in Ocean City.  Scott will give us his thoughts on the Eagles after four games and what he thinks about the Phillies playoff chances.  In Hour Two, we will hear from my Fantasy Football Guru Brian Hartley brought to you Charlie’s Bar in Somers Point.  "The Guru" gives us his best plays for week five in the NFL.


All that and more this weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim, every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to Noon on 97.3 FM ESPN radio South Jersey.
