Los WFC “Filis” Uniforms Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | Comments
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, and inspired by the traditionally half-hearted attempts by MLB to pay tribute to the holiday, the folks over at the fantastic Uniwatch decided to design their own Latin-themed baseball uniforms, and the results are fantastic. In the past, Major League Baseball has “honored” this holiday by outfitting some teams in Latino heritage jerseys, some of which have been more successful than others. But the usual approach of putting “Los” in front of the team’s name (which PL has written about before) is so lazy and unimaginative...What follows then, are some absolutely outstanding conceptual approaches Paulie ...

R.I.P. Harry Life, Philly, Sporting | Comments
To the greatest announcer in sports history: we'll miss you... [caption id="attachment_2955" align="aligncenter" width="385" caption="Harry Kalas R.I.P."][/caption] Harry Kalas, the Phillies' long-time, Hall-of-Fame announcer, died today after collapsing in the broadcasting booth in Washington. He was 73 and one of the most beloved figures in Philadelphia sports history. The Phils have cancelled their Tuesday trip to the White House and, as of right now, are set to play a game (somehow) 20 minutes from now. At least he was able to make this call last October, in what will, perhaps, go down as the most famous call in Philadelphia sports history: [audio: harryphilschamps.mp3] UPDATE (3:30PM): ...

Fit for a Fucking Champion Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | Comments
As first reported by UniWatch and later elaborated upon by Phinally Philly, the Phils will be wearing the above dope-ass golden-outlined jerseys on opening night against the Braves on April 5th. (I'll let you know how they look in person) Besides the “Phillies” on the front being outlined in gold, the player name & number on the back and the number & World Series patch on the sleeves will also be outlined. Zolecki has since clarified the details of the golden-uni's, in addition to cluing us in on exactly what will be featured on the WFC's jerseys for the other 161 games: [T]hey ...

BattingStanceGuy Takes on the World Champs Funny, Philly, Sporting, Videos | Comments
I'm not really sure whether this has already hit the mainstream and I'm just late on it or whether I have instead uncovered my own jewel of the internet (via an anonomous tipster). Regardless, it's awesome and is better watched immediately than introduced. So, I present to you BattingStanceGuy, first doing Ryan Howard for Ryan Howard (and then tossing in a hilarious Chase Utley for the big man as well). You can tell how nervous he is, but he really is dead on: [From YouTube - Batting Stances: Ryan Howard for Ryan Howard] And here is BSG doing a medley ...

This Just in: Cole is Hot Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | Comments
As if hearing the phrase "Defending [Fucking] World Champion" before the word "Phillies" all month hasn't been making me nervous enough, now we're gonna have to deal with being assaulted with this full-blown curse all season as well? J/k; he looks dreamy, as always, and this year it's gonna be a positive Philadelphia attitude, right?! At least at the beginning of the season before we fall back by 20 games, considering there's no way we compete with all the acquisitions made around us in the NL East PLUS the additional pressure of having to defend the aforementioned WFCship...right? Anyway, here's a ...
