Tuesday Major League Baseball and the Philadelphia Phillies announced the suspension of Carlos Ruiz. Ruiz coming off a career 2012 season will miss the first 25 games of 2012 without pay, thanks to testing positive for Adderall a banned stimulant. This is coming off a 50 game suspension this past season of young infielder Freddy Galvis. Not to mention Philadelphia missing the playoffs for the first time since 2006. During the season key players like Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay and Ruiz spent time on the DL. Last night during Monday Night Football, Cam Newton of Carolina accounted for 4 touchdowns as the Panthers beat the Eagles. Philadelphia has loss 7 in a row after a 3-1 start, now are 3-8 and more than likely 14 year head coach Andy Reid is out the door after the season, possibly quarterback Michael Vick as well. Tuesday Reid released Jason Babin who sack production took a hit from 2011 to 2012 and most from the outside looking in didn't think the Pro Bowl defensive end was giving complete effort. Desean Jackson suffered a rib injury on Monday Night and is done for the season. The last we heard Bynum re injured his knees bowling recently, he has yet to suit up for the 76ers this season. Many wonder will he ever play for Philadelphia during the 2012-13 NBA season. Finally the Flyers, we haven't seen them since the spring during the playoffs. Since the NHL is on strike we may not see them this season. Philadelphia sports fans can't seem to catch a break.
