Game Won

AUTHOR: Justin Klugh | IN: PHI Phillies | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

Baseball is like waiting for a bus.  But when it gets here… it explodes.
Tonight, Cliff Lee set the bus on fire at the last stop, and let it roll right through the gates of Yankee Stadium.
I’m not going to gush.  I feel like that’s going to be covered quite well by all the news anchors, Phillies advocates who make it on TV, television networks, and the rest of us Phils fans who watched the game with a little class.
The man took “pitching” and turned it into a sure thing.
He threw a baseball, at ridiculous angles and speeds (99 MPH in [...]

The Yankees are going to require some stellar defense, and Raul… he’s not a speed demon, he can’t turn on a dime, and as I’ve said before, he kind of runs like an octopus. Then again, he’s got those Jedi powers.

The Angels are fueled by the ghost of a teammate who died tragically, while the Yankees just need more championship rings to feed the demon living in George Steinbrenner’s basement.

Miserable Cat Forced Into Embarrassing Phillies Photo-op

AUTHOR: Justin Klugh | IN: PHI Phillies | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

Phillies Phever hit hard this past week, with the returning chance making another trip to the World Series, but nowhere did it hit harder than the home of “Captain,” a large black house cat, “prone to hissy-fits.”
“I just love the Phillies so much,” Captain’s owner explained.  ”I feel like there isn’t a better way to express true fandom than through a cat.”
“Um, yeah, that’s troubling,” replied Dr. Matthew Kendry, a feline psychologist, squinting in confusion at the photo. “That’s a lot more indicative of a person in need of therapy than a cat who likes a baseball team.”
