I naturally assumed we were seconds away from Charlie Manuel’s hair catching on fire and the Phanatic accidentally swallowing a toddler.

Today, we made one thing clear. We’re the Phillies.

And we’re the World Phucking Champions.

It’s great to be a playoff team.

Frankly, after all the bitching I’ve done about Lidge, I’m starting to think Charlie’s not even reading this blog.

“Its’ a great race, because none of you are trying to win games anymore.”

When they threw Charlie’s stats up on the screen the other night, with his record for each year in Philadelphia, this year we were better than last year.

“Wow, that’s surprising, given all the blown saves,” roommate remarked.

“Shut up, Yankees fan,” I replied, and threw his dinner on the floor.

The guys renovating the place next door to me are currently discussing the Phils playoff chances.

While they agree that the Cardinals “look hardcore,” they have also come to the conclusion that the Los Angeles Dodgers “are bullshit,” and Manny Ramirez is “king of the bullshit, too, that clown.”

This city is alive with optimism.
