[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="420" caption="Look Snoop, I'm dropping it like it is hot!"][/caption] The major league leader in HR's & K's (by a mere 15 over Jack Cust, as a matter of fact) spent some of his free time during the all-star break at Q, a bar in downtown Philly, where he kicked it/tried to act ghetto with Snoop. [via The Fightins]

Chase’s Dirty Little Mouth Fancy Tickling, Funny, Philly, Sporting | (0)
(you can order the above shirt here, courtesy of the consistently-awesome The700Level) An explanation courtesy of the fantastic The700Level piece: Chase's Four Letter Fall Out: Upon viewing Chase being introduced live at Yankee stadium, I was rather shocked to hear my favorite baseball player get booed. You don't boo Chase Utley. It wasn't until people commenting on this site pointed it out to us that we realized Chase Utley dropped an F-bomb in reaction to the boos. "Boo? F*ck you," Chase quipped to fellow second basemen Dan Uggla as the cameras rolled and caught every syllable. More importantly, here is the awesome video: If you couldn't ...

Sportscenter Commercial Featuring Jimmy Rollins Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting, Videos | (2)
Yup, he's getting every last bit out of that MVP award while people still remember it..... As far as the commercial itself goes: either I laughed when I first saw this because it was funny or because there was a Phillie in it and my yelp of excitement in response happened to come out as a laugh. Unfortunately, I don't have time to watch it again right now to tell you which it was, so find out for yourself. This is Sportscenter - J-Roll by TheFightins P.S. You heard it here first: WE'RE GETTING A.J. BURNETT. His gem yesterday against the Yanks coupled with ...

Everybody Loves Pat Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting, Videos | (0)
Well, right now everybody in Philly does at least. With the consistency that he has been hitting the ball over the first 30 games, Pat looks way too locked in for this to be a fluke. He's hitting .417 with 2 outs and runners in scoring position (RISP), .435 with runners on (an absurd 20 out of 46) and a slick .478 with RISP. It's fun to get caught up in all this (i.e. plan our World Series parade right now), but we've got to remember: the guy is a career .260 hitter, and, invariably, he just ...

Appreciating Pat Burrell Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Learning, Sporting | (0)
Definitely the first time I've ever seen those three words strung together - and by a Philly writer to boot. Already off to a great start Burrell has really been the glue so far holding this injury-plagued Phillies team together. As of right now Burrell ranks 1st in all of baseball in WPA/LI with a 0.98; his 0.98 is a full eighteen percent ahead of closest competitor Mark Reynolds. Burrell also ranks 1st in BRAA and REW, ahead of Joe Crede in both; in BRAA he is a full half-run ahead of Crede. Much of the talk surrounding the Phillies ...

He'd probably be wearing Birkenstocks or something, but if he was a Phillies fan he would definitely be wearing these:Here's a link to myself so that I can buy them right when I clear up that whole "negative balance in my bank account" thing: S.Phils (Thank Frank)
