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 ...

Phillies World Series Champions iPhone Ringtones Hot Shit, Nerd, Philly, Sporting | View Comments
Imagine your ringtone = this Are you having trouble convincing your friends that you didn't actually just hop on the Phillies bandwagon immediately after the NLCS? Do you want to show that you've actually been a devoted Phillies fan your entire life, so much so that you have them as your ringtone? Or maybe you just had to leave for the Democratic Republic of the Congo 35 minutes before the start of Game 5 and end up having to watch them clinch by yourself in Central Africa, so now you feel that hearing Harry Kalas call the final strike of the ...

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 ...
