Divine Intervention Can’t Even Help the Phillies

Nothing is seeming to go right for our fightin’ Phillies. Not even a little divine intervention Monday afternoon….

They’ve dropped 10 of their last 12 games and the offense we have been missing for three years is still pasted on the side of a milk carton.

The franchise has done everything from trades to new managers in an attempt to reclaim the glory days of 2008-2012, but nothing has seemed to work.

The franchise took drastic measures Monday as they sought a higher power’s help in breaking this losing spell.

That’s right. Nuns were in house and it looks like one of them missed a lesson or two.

Of course, since this is Philadelphia and the fans are all a bunch of savages, the Twitter-verse exploded with memes and vines of a “Philadelphia nun being forced to drink cause the Phillies are so bad.”

Even the satirical Twitter account “Franzke and LA” poked fun.

I think 90% of country’s sports related networks and stations reported an alcoholic nun in Philadelphia.

What they missed was a teeny, tiny fact. It happened to be that these were not actual nuns….

It appears the “nuns” were actresses from the play “Sister Act,” which is showing at the Walnut Street Theatre. It certainly made for an interesting promotional and something that will certainly come up in any Philly/Dallas/New York/Pittsburgh argument over the next 30 years.

Can’t say they’re wrong…
