Glum Monday for sports fans

The weather probably matches the mood of sports fans this morning.

The Flyers now find themselves staring at a 2-0 hole after losing to the Penguins again Sunday night. They’re also fast running out of defensemen. Already without standout blue-liner Kimmo Timonen for the series with a blood clot, the Flyers were forced to play the bulk of last night’s game with just five defensemen after Braydon Coburn took a puck in the face just a few minutes into the contest.

Coburn crumpled to the ice and was bleeding from a cut over his eye. His status for Tuesday night’s game at the Wachovia Center is to be determined.

Just to top things off, the Phils managed to lose two of three to the lowly San Francisco Giants. The usually reliable J.C. Romero offered up a home run to rookie Steve Holm in the seventh as the Phils fell, 4-3.

Next thing you’re going to tell us is that Andy Reid is going to go on the radio and not offer any substantive answers to questions concerning the team’s off-season moves.

Oh, he’s going to do that this morning?

Yep, it’s just a lovely Monday morning.
