I had planned for a big show tonight after the Phils took care of business in game one against the Reds, but as I sit here coming up on one in the morning and dreading work tomorrow, game five of the Stanley Cup Finals is still going.  It’s triple overtime, and who knows how much longer.

So since there isn’t a new episode for your listening pleasure, I thought I’d give you a preview of what’s coming up in the next few shows on Philscast.

First, I have a lot of e-mail to read on the air.  Thanks for that, and keep it coming.  I promise I’ll get to it, and I’ll even use new sound effects besides the classic Monty Python “Message for you, sir” I’ve been using since the beginning of the show.

Second, the Phils looked good this weekend as they handled the Florida Marlins.  I’m not sure how much we learned about the Fish, but it’s worth talking about.

Mike Lieberthal signed a one-day contract to retire as a Phillie.  That’s a great thing, because he’s the best catcher in the history of the franchise.  That’s right, he’s better than Bob Boone and he’s better than Darren Daulton.  More to come…

Some people say the Phillies are relying on the home run to win games.  Maybe that’s true, or maybe they just hit everything hard and so some balls are just bound to leave the yard.

I’d talk about what Chase Utley is doing right now, but I’m out of adjectives that could describe how God-like he’s been.

The First Year Player draft is coming up this week.  I’ll get you up to speed on whoever they pick.

Finally, for those of you in the Philly area, I’ll be appearing on WIP at some point soon.  As soon as I have the details, I’ll pass them along to you.  Be warned, it will be late at night.  But it’s still a big step for the show, and it wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t such loyal listeners, and for that I have to say thank you.
