Bill Simmons, Allen Iverson, Elton Brand, etc., will have to wait till tomorrow.
For now, let's channel our karmic energies into support for the Phils. It's been 25 years since this fine city had a world championship in any sport. (Man, read that sentence again. That's just awful. We deserve better. This ain't Cleveland.)
Some of Tug McGraw's ashes were scattered on the mound the other night. I love that. I love that Tim McGraw and the Phillies organization took steps to tie the past with the present. (I also love how Lefty threw out the first pitch the other night. Am I the only one who sees shadows of Carlton in Cole Hamels?)
Anyway...
May Hamels throw 10 Ks tonight. May our bats be mighty. May the Fightin' Phils live up to their name.
(Man, I love October. Go Phils!)

I'm steering abslutely clear of this topic until the series is over.
We did it!
Unbelievable. The crowd downtown was bananas. All PT was choked with bodies. Roving groups of drunk guys all over the place. People screaming outside my office building all day. I would love to have a stake in the Phillies right about now. I heard that they have grossed somewhere close to $300 M since the playoffs started. Soft pretzels were $5 a pop during the World Series. Parking was double the normal cost. But the thing is the merchandising. You've never seen so many jerseys and t-shirts. Selling bootleg World Series Champs long sleeve t's could have made you a couple stack easily this weekend.
