August sports calendar: Eagles, Mike Trout, Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor

Looking at the highlights of the sports landscape for August, which includes four Eagles preseason games — all on Thursday evenings.

MLB: Phillies at Angels, 10 (CSN).

Mike Trout hasn't played against the Phillies very much in his 7-year career. He went 2-for-17 in four games in 2014; all were Angels' wins.

MLB: Phillies at Angels, 10 (CSN).

NFL: Hall of Fame Game, Cardinals vs. Cowboys, 8 (NBC10).

The Cowboys are laying a point and the total is 36.5. And if you find this useful, 1-800-Gambler would probably like to hear from you.

MLB: Phillies at Angels, 10 (CSN).

MLB: Phillies at Rockies, 8:40 (CSN).

AFL: Tampa Bay at Soul, 7.

This is a meaningless game as these teams clinched the top two seeds in the Arena League postseason. The defending-champion Soul are the 1-seed.

MLS: Dallas at Union, 7 (TCN).

NFL: Hall of Fame inductions, 7 (ESPN).

This year's class: PK Morten Andersen, RB Terrell Davis, S Kenny Easley, DE Jason Taylor, RB LaDainian Tomlinson, QB Kurt Warner; and owner/executive Jerry Jones. Good class, but Brian Dawkins and Terrell Owens should have been included.

MLB: Phillies at Rockies, 8:10 (CSN).

NFL: Eagles open practice, Lincoln Financial Field, 10 a.m.

Tickets not needed; first-come, first-serve. 

MLB: Phillies at Rockies, 3:10 (CSN).

Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado is leading the league in RBI for the third consecutive year. He's also won the Gold Glove in each of his first four seasons.

MLB: Phillies at Braves, 7:35 (CSN).

MLB: Mets at Phillies, 7:05 (CSN).

NFL: Preseason, Eagles at Packers, 8 (NBC10).

MLB: Phillies at Padres, 10:10 (CSN).

Funky stat: Padres starter Luis Perdomo has four hits in 27 at-bats this season — three triples and a double. On the mound, he's 5-5, 4.76 ERA, and has not faced the Phillies in his two-year career.

MLB: Phillies at Padres, 10:10 (CSN).

MLB: Phillies at Padres, 3:40 (CSN).

NFL: Preseason, Bills at Eagles, 7 (NBC10).

A painful flashback: March 10, 2015, Eagles trade RB LeSean McCoy to Buffalo for LB Kiko Alonso. Groan.
