I wrote some stuff for places other than The Fightins last night and now that they are published, I figured I’d ask you nicely to head over to those sites and check out the finished product. That’s not a hard task, right?

An Open Letter to Non-Phillies Fan Rooting for the Phillies

The Fightins
| Comments
First, let me say that I hope your respective teams’ off-seasons are going well. By now, Chipper Jones has probably bagged his fourth or fifth ten-point buck, and Jason Varitek is putting the finishing touches on his backswing. Sounds nice and relaxing, doesn’t it, and...
Surprising Roster Moves And More

The Fightins

Did you know that Charlie Manuel has decided to move Jimmy Rollins to second base? Neither did anyone else. We all probably should have seen it coming.
After all, Utley hasn’t been the superstar we’ve needed him to be this October, and Miguel Cairo won’t be playing...
Phillies Annoy New Yorkers With Train Ride
October 27, 2009 by
The Fightins
| Comments
While many newspapers are using the run-up to the World Series to run some of the most inane baseball coverage ever published, at least one newspaper came through with a somewhat-interesting sideshow article: The New York Times covered the Phillies’ train ride to New York City...
Hands Down The Sexiest Phillies Story Of The Year
October 27, 2009 by
The Fightins

Ay, I know from experience — it’s pretty damn hard to get somebody to give you tickets to the World Series for a reasonable price. You either have to fork over some cash, know somebody who gets tickets for free, or do what Susan Finkelstein tried to do: blow dudes.
According...

Hey Fightins Fans (and you, DMac), how’s it hangin’? After taking in Game 5 down at the ballpark on Wednesday, we had a few days to soak up the fall weather and wait for the Yankees to finish off the Angels. When it became apparent Saturday’s game in The Bronx was...

In the latter part of the 20th century, Yankee Pride reached a fever pitch. After all, the Bronx Bombers just wrapped up their third straight World Series – their fourth in five years. They were the most dynamic baseball team since the late 70s, with a core of young players...
Thanks For Angering Shane Victorino, New York Post
October 27, 2009 by
The Fightins
| Comments
You know what’s not a smart move for a ****** gossip rag of newspaper to do right before Game 1 of the World Series? Run a horribly photoshopped picture of Shane Victorino wearing a cheerleader outfit on the front page.
I don’t know if you can remember last year’s...
Keith Olbermann thinks the key to a Phillies upset is Dennis Werth

Political humorist Keith Olbermann (that’s what he is, right? I seriously have no idea.) of MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann updated his MLBlog at quarter past one in the morning last night to give his thoughts on Mark McGwire being brought on as a hitting coach...
Ryan Howard Had Himself A Busy Weekend

When he’s not mashing homers, winning LCS MVP awards, or reviewing possible candidates for the MMmm Hall of Fame, Ryan Howard does what every other superstar first baseman would do — spend some quality time with the hard-working people of Philadelphia.
Case in point #1...

First Mike Freeman, and now Jon Paul Morosi. It seems as though folksy country sweetheart Charlie Manuel is charming the pants off the national media.
Some highlights from Morosi’s Saturday piece on FOXSports.com, where he got some good thoughts from past & present colleagues...
Chan Ho Park Is A Champagne-Popping Maniac
October 26, 2009 by
The Fightins
| Comments
I fully understand if a journeyman MLBer who has finally reached the World Series after 16 seasons of coming up short wants to go a little overboard in the celebration, but for some reason, I didn’t really expect that type of behavior out of Chan Ho Park. Well, after watching...
Is It Wednesday Yet?

It’s like waiting for Christmas, I swear. Hoping the Yankees can finish off the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, CA, United States of America, North America, Earth tonight. I want to see a rested CC get whooped. Anything less, and you know we’ll just hear more ‘fluke...

A Review of Last Night’s It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
October 23, 2009 by
The Fightins
| Comments
I love watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, one of the few comedies left on television that’s worth following on a regular basis. Part of the show’s appeal to me is that its story is set, obviously, in Philadelphia. The show’s co-creator, Rob McElhenney (who also plays...

I have no idea how I — nay, ANYONE — missed this from Wednesday’s fabulous clincher at The Bank, but according to a perverted tipster named Seth, we now have proof that the Phillies effect on their fans is, for a lack of a better term, TITillating. (Oh ****, see what...

Here’s another one of those shoot-the-television-with-your-iPhone videos, but, once again, it’s amazing. Here’s an awesome Mayfair resident having a little fun behind NBC 10 reporter Claudia Rivero. (via)

Kudos to the fella sitting behind the home dugout last night repping Birdland x The Fightins in his ‘Charlie Manuel Has A Posse’ t-shirt.

Buck Martinez Has No Idea What Team Won The NLCS
October 22, 2009 by

Who won the NLCS, Buck? Was it the Yankees, or the Red Sox?
Seriously, this is one of the stranger slips of the tongue ever. Still, it’s amazing the Phillies are now so good they’re being confused with the Yanks and Sox.
