As the Phillies conclude the three-game set with the Red Sox Sunday and looking forward to the Sixers-Celtics conference semifinal series continuing Monday, we'd thought we look at how the current teams from each city have fared against each other (through Saturday):

     Regular Season  Postseason
 Team  Opponent     Games  Series  Games
 Phillies     Red Sox  20-28  0-1  1-4
 Sixers  Celtics  113-157  4-7  32-37
 Eagles  Patriots  6-5  —  0-1
 Flyers  Bruins  63-85-21  3-3  13-18

About this blog

Boop – who goes by Bob Vetrone Jr. when he is undercover or paying bills – has been at the Daily News since 1982, after working for five years at the Philadelphia Bulletin up to its closing. Along with helping to build the sports scoreboards most nights, he has had great input into the papers’ special sports pullouts – March Madness, Broad Street Run, Record Breakers, Greatest Moments – as well as its day-to-day, award-winning event coverage.

A 1980 graduate of North Catholic, he took some evening college courses. Those lasted right up until the first conflict with a Big 5 doubleheader.

His favorite books growing up were the NBA Guide and the Baseball Encyclopedia, which was, for all intents and purposes, the Internet before there was an Internet.

He has been immersed in sports statistics since the early 70s, when his father (long-time sports writer, broadcaster and the Daily News’ Buck The Bartender), would take him into the Bulletin newsroom overnight in the summer and let him update the Phillies statistics in a little, black spiral notebook. But things have changed tremendously in the decades since … He now uses a big, black spiral notebook. Email him at boopstats@phillynews.com.
