The major league soccer team will host the Baltimore Blast on Saturday, Jan 17 at the Wachovia Spectrum. Adult tickets run $25 a piece, kids get in for $15 and college students pay only $10. Treat the family to hot dogs, because Saturday is the Kixx’s second annual Dollar Dog Night! Kick off is at 7:05 p.m., and if you can’t make it to this game, try to catch one, because this is the team’s final season at Wachovia.

After the World Series chaos at Cottman and Frankford, we all kinda knew this, but NEasters are die-hard Phillies fans. Our latest poll results prove it.

We asked which team’s bandwagon you’re on, and the Phightin’ Phils came in first:

• Eagles: 17%
• Flyers: 11%
• Sixers: 0%
• Phils (because they won the Series): 17%
• Phils (because I’m a lifelong fan): 41%
• Phantoms: 0%
• Soul: 0%
• Kixx: 11%

You all agree the Sixers are on the same level as the minor league hockey and football teams. That’s gotta hurt.
