The resemblance is uncanny.

RickEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE or
FredEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

I Got a Fever, and the Only Prescription is More BUR-RELL





If you're a true Phils fan June 7th will be one of those nights you're going to remember days, weeks, months and seasons from now. Its a game we'll be talking about for some time.
On a night where the Phillies won a game they were supposedto win at one point and then supposed lose at another, the Fighins hung tough and stuck it to a team, and its fans for that matter, that I hate more than poison.
Young Cole almost gave it away on a bullshit homerun call (the replay was played on the Jumbotron at Shea (Shit) Stadium, which is clearly against MLB rules) which led to the overturn of that white trash Jared Wright's triple to be a four-sacker. Charlie was ejected not long after.
Most of us aren't big Charlie Manuel fans, but there is one thing that Uncle Chuck did last that I will forever applaud.
After the turd-like home-run reversal, much like every beer pong game I've ever played, Charlie then decided to play the game "UNDER PROTEST"

Just like in Beer Pong, we all know that this "UNDER PROTEST" really means nothing and holds no weight. But it feels so good to say and to point fingers and to yell. Good for you Chuck!
Then there was the Burrell/Wagner backdrop as well. Don't forget, last year Wag insinuated the Burrell referred to the cheek-bulging bastard when he was with the Phillies as a "Rat." Burrell last night in a 5-44 funk, lit up Wag and deposited one in the left field stands to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th. Five Alive like never before.



You also had YOUR BOY Chase Utley coming up like he always does. Chase has always been my favorite Phillie since day 1, and the guy is clutch.
5 Games back in the division and the wild card, 5 is the hero, 5-5 in their last ten games, 15-15 at home. That's a lot of 5's.
High 5's all around.
Or Maybe High 6's in honor of YOUR BOY, AND YOUR BOY who also had a good night last night.






Muck the Fets



Mets Yarmulke ? Huge Yucka!

In other stupid Met news,

Three Okay, TWO Blind Mice: Jamie Moyer’s stirrups occasioned lots of oh-so-adorable banter in the Mets’ broadcast booth the other night. The chatter started after announcers approvingly noted that Moyer had busted it pretty hard while running out a ground ball.

Here’s the transcript:

Gary Cohen: Not only is he running hard, but he’s running hard in stirrups.

Ron Darling: Yes.

Cohen: We’ve gotta get a shot of Moyer’s feet at some point. Nobody wears stirrups anymore! Maybe a couple of old coaches.

Darling: He wears ’em a little bit like you wore ’em, Keith.

Keith Hernandez: I’ll have to give ’em closer, uh, scrutiny. [Camera shows a close-up of Moyer’s stirrups.] Oh, I liked to wear ’em a little higher. That’s low. That’s minor league ugly.

Cohen: You didn’t have the Liberty Bell on your stirrups.

Hernandez: No. Those are the stirrups they gave you in the minor leagues.

Darling [struggling for something relevant to say]: Is that like coyote ugly? Minor league ugly.
Hernandez [ignoring Darling]: You had the wool uniforms in the minor leagues back in the early ’70s, and they were just itchy. And you were glad to have ’em, trust me, but I hated the stirrups. [As per usual during these hosiery discussions, the camera shows sacred Shea Stadium photo of Jerry Koosman celebrating the last out of the 1969 World Series.] See, that’s closer. I wore ’em a little bit higher than Kooz right there. [Camera now shows file photo of Hernandez’s favorite player.] Ah, there you go.

Cohen: There was a trend for a while there to show none of the top of the stirrup, right? Guys started adding extensions to the bottom so they rose that much higher.

Hernandez: Yes. I never liked that look. When we played for the Cardinals, we had those great socks with the stripes, like the Red Sox. You wanna show the stripes.

Cohen [who has clearly read either Ball Four or Uni Watch]: I guess it was Frank Robinson, wasn’t it, who first started wearing the high stirrups, that just showed white with a stripe on the side?

Darling [utterly lost but trying to sound engaged]: Yes.

Hernandez [also lost]: I think you may be right.

Cohen: Maybe it was someone else before that. I just…

Hernandez [now completely off on the wrong tack]: Was it with Cleveland? Remember those Cleveland uniforms, those red uniforms?

Cohen: Those were awful.

Darling [now barely treading water]: They were hideous!

Cohen: Of course, there were a lot of hideous uniforms in the ’70s. The Pirates…

Hernandez: The bumblebees!

Darling: How about Houston?

Hernandez: Ugh!

Cohen: How about the Padres?

Darling: That’s right, mustard and brown.

Cohen: Mustard and mud!

Hernandez: Contrary to Ron Darling, I love the A’s uniforms, love those swingin’ A’s unis.

[Inning mercifully ends.]

Schill Pill



So close for OUR BOY Curt Schilling today. 8 and 2/3 of no-hit ball to be ruined by a GUY named Shannon.
Let's hope 38 is in Phillies Pins next Spring.

Check out his blog:


In other news, OUR GIRL Paris is out of the can. (Although she loves to take it in can!) She's so good in every way. Sources very close to THOD are reporting that she's going to be at the O.D. in Sea Isle City on Saturday @ 4pm. These same sources report that she is flying cross country into Atlantic City Airport to see a world-renown doctor in Swaiton

Here's to next year's calendar have two June 4ths.
