Project Bueller Fancy Tickling, Funny, NYC | View Comments
Reluctantly taking a quick break from the Phillies Seriesgasm (as Deadspin so eloquently puts it), I just remembered something Halloween-related that I forgot to post about a while ago: Project Bueller. I haven't been in NYC for a while now, so I'm not sure whether this is the type of thing that is actually getting press or just some people talking on the internet, but, either way, it's an awesome idea, and it sure as hell looks great on paper. Here is the "Project Bueller" team's letter to Matthew Broderick, inviting him to take part in the event: Dear Matthew Broderick, In ...

Phils Reading to Kill Time Before the Game Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | View Comments
Although I realize that the game will have probably started in the U.S. of A. by the time this post goes up, you may as well stick your face in a computer rather than watching one of the most important 90 minutes in Philadelphia sports history.... Two Arguments In Response to the Eternal Question of the '08 Rayhawk vs. The '93 Phillies Mullet? 1. Stupid argument: The mohawk is awesome like the Devil Rays, the mullet is a stigma of cultural ignorance akin to rooting for Philadelphia's pathetic sports teams. Speaking of pathetic, the mulleted '93 Phillies lost the World Series to a ...

And the Rays it Shall Be….. Philly, Pictures, Sporting | View Comments
Having defeated the defending-champion Boston Red Sox, the Tampa Bay Rays have advanced to the World Series themselves, where they will face our rested, hungry and NL-champion Philadelphia Phillies. Despite their explosiveness, the Rays are the matchup that I (and many local sports analysts) believed favored the Phils the most. We will be the underdogs, we will be the less-talked about team and we will be up against an amazing team and one of the most improbable, incredible sports stories in recent memory in the Rays. But we deserve it more, and sure as hell ...

"I try to swing for the fences...That's what I've done my whole career. I was very fortunate to square one up tonight. I'm not going to hit a single and steal second base.

Phillies’ Sickness Defies Statistics Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | View Comments
Earned Runs Given Up By C.C. Sabathia Month of August: 6 First Two Innings Tonight: 5 Even though I know they're just toying with me, I'm still enjoying the ride. UPDATED (10/3): Here are some more statistics from an article on ESPN.com: Whether he was running on fumes or not, however, this was a night unlike just about any Sabathia had spent on a mound in his career. And he'd been out there 258 times before this, counting the postseason. But here's what made this game such a shocker: • This is a man who gave up six earned runs in the entire month of August. He ...
