The Best Phils’ Championship Shirts Yet (they even have curses on them!)
So, apparently a company called Birdland Philadelphia has teamed up with one of the best Phils blogs around, The Fightins, to sell some really, really awesome Phils Championship shirts that are well worth checking out, if not ordering all of (what, do you think we actually recognize the fact that 5 months have passed? you’ll NEVER hear the end of this; I’m just letting you all outside of Philly know right now):

This Shit is Still Crazy to Me
It’s kind of old but feel like people maybe missed this; maybe not? Either way it’s so dope, even for non hip-hop fans:
Hannah Storm > Erin Andrews?
Hmmm…an interesting suggestion by Awful Announcing:
Everyone has been looking far and wide for someone other than Erin Andrews that will draw page view to their website, and the only person that has come close in recent years is Hannah Storm. About three or four times a week, I get a “did you see what Storm was wearing this morning?!” email, and now someone has taken the time to compile an extensive collection of her wardrobe choices on Flickr
And be sure to click on that Flickr link, if only to see how sick some people are.

The Best Thing You’ve Read All Week
I’m not really sure if this is only for Twitter users, but I don’t think so. I can’t imagine you wouldn’t appreciate it otherwise. So just read this, trust me: A foot and a half: Finally, A Use for Twitter:
Sean informed me a few days ago that he had been following “The Real Shaq” on twitter.
“You realize that ‘The Real Shaq’ is probably a 5’4 White, 14 year old emo kid who’s getting his jolly’s from the attention, right?” I asked him.
“I don’t know. I think it’s really him”
Today Sean and I were discussing rumored trade situations over IM, and the possibility of Shaq being traded to Cleveland.
“Well, I just got a twitter from The Real Shaq, and he’s at 5 & Diner right now,” Sean informed me.
“Let’s go then” I said, assuming that I’d finally put this “Real Shaq” crap to rest.
Twenty minutes later we were pulling up to the restaurant and looking for the big black truck that he’s rumored to drive around town. “Maybe that’s it” Sean said, pointing at an older, but nice Van and laughing. As we pulled up I saw the Superman symbol on the grill.
Maybe that is it?
We went in, and to my surprise the MDE(Most Dominant Ever) was sitting in the corner booth by himself. We gave the man a nod and “Hey” as we walked to our table and were soon whispering back and forth like 12 year old girls at the 7th grade dance.
Oh, and if you’re incredibly bored and want to read more of the musings of a miserable NYC’er about to re-take the New York Bar Exam on Tuesday, feel free to follow me at @masemase. And wish me luck because lord knows I’ll need it.
Schmidt: ’08 Phils Better than ’80 Phils
Eric Bruntlett’s Beard
In a seven-game series, who would win: the 2008 Phillies or the 1980 Phillies?
“That’s not a good question,” Schmidt said. “Probably these guys. Bigger, stronger, faster. Yeah, no doubt in my mind.”
