Baseball Graphs = Internet Cocaine Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Learning, Sporting | View Comments
I love baseball. I also love graphs. Thus, baseball graphs are basically internet cocaine for me (notice how I alluded to this in the title). This isn't the best one over at Flip Flop Fly Ball, but it is certainly the newest: [via (the bomb ass) Flip Flop Fly Ball]

Hockey + Coldplay = Filmmaking Brilliance Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Life, Sporting | View Comments
This guy must be the coolest person ever, and, in the process, he's created what must easily be the greatest time-lapsed documentary on building an ice rink in your backyard set to Coldplay's "Clocks" ever produced. In all seriousness, though, this is amazing...for some reason: Every year I enjoy making this rink in my backyard to play hockey on. This year I thought it would be a neat idea to make a time lapse of the process of getting the rink put together. While starting to play hockey in kindergarten I would always use the pool in my ...

Double “Green Man” Appearance at Flyers Game Fancy Tickling, Funny, Philly, Sporting | View Comments
Presumably, this was during the Flyers' excruciating loss to the Atlanta Thrashers last night, who managed to blow a two-goal lead going into the 3rd period for the first time in 24 games; luckily, two "Green Men" made watching video from the game worth it: [via Bakes] EXTRA: You can see Mac talking about the actual origins of Greenman here (worth watching):

BREAKING: Popeye Admits To Spinach Use Fancy Tickling, Funny, Life, Sporting | View Comments
Popeye: Drug-Taker From The Awl: The Associated Press NEW YORK Popeye finally came clean Monday, admitting he used spinach when he delivered a savage and unlikely beating to romantic rival Bluto in 1998. Popeye said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Monday that he used spinach on and off for nearly a decade. "I wish I had never touched spinach," Popeye said in a statement. "It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never sailed during the spinach era." Popeye also used broccoli, a person close to Popeye said, speaking on condition of anonymity ...

Is This Really Happening? Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | View Comments
THE ARE ONCE AGAIN!!! It really is hard to fathom, but after 25 years of title-less seasons, of excruciating playoff departures and of heart-breaking losses, the Philadelphia Phillies, professional sports' first 10,000-loss team, have now advanced to their second consecutive World Series by closing out the NLCS at home last night with a 10-4 beatdown of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now, incredibly, the Phillies stand in position to do something that no National League team has done in over thirty years: successfully defend their World Championship. This quest will begin on Wednesday, October 28th, and it will almost certainly not ...

Reading About Game 4 From Africa Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | View Comments
Don't Worry Jimbo: Those First 100 Games of this Season are Now LONG Forgotten... One of the biggest downsides of being in Central Africa, 6,070 miles away from Philadelphia, in October, aside from the risks of genocide, is not being able to watch my team do what it does so well in the playoffs. Luckily, although the internet is not fast enough here to stream video or even watch highlights on YouTube, it was fast enough to allow me to read about one of the greatest comebacks, nay, one of the greatest games, in playoff history, three hours after it ...

So it's time to gear up...again: And, not to rub it in to you L.A.'ers, but there are other options available to you Phils fans as well; for example, you could always pick up one of these, you know, again, just in case you forgot, um, what happened last year...: We'll just leave it at that.

And with no affiliation or anything whatsoever, I seriously recommend checking out the above and all of the other awesome shirts at Birdland for all you Philly fans out there; they're awesome.
