The suddenly hot Phillies rolled out of NY with a 3 game sweep of the 1st Place New York Mets. Next up for the Phillies? The Kansas City Royals and inevitably, 729 mentions of the 1980 World Series.
Sex addict Pat Burrell went deep off of the loudmouth midget Billy Wagner in the 9th to tie the game. It's surprising to me to see that this early in the season, the diminutive Wagner usually doesn't come up this small until September. 6 Finger Closer Antonio Alfonseca closed out the game for the save.
The game was not without controversy as the umpires reversed a David Wright triple into a home run based upon instant replay. Paul Lo Duca followed Wright's homerun with one of his own, but punctuated it with a ridiculous bat flip and overly demonstrative celebration following his home run. Look for someone (my bet is Freddie Garcia, graduate of the Ozzie Guillen school of paybacks) to put one in Lo Duca's earflap when the Mets come to town at the end of the month.
Other notes:
- Curt Schilling came one out away from a no-hitter yesterday, I'm sure we will hear about this ad nauseum this weekend.
- Paris Hilton was released from jail early, proving one thing, the warden did not want a rampant Herpes outbreak inside the prison.
- Summer TV stinks.
- Cavaliers drop game one to the San Antonio Spurs last night. No surprise there.
- The Mighty Ducks won the Stanley Cup, in case you missed it.
- Dice K's ERA is 4.63. Suddenly you don't see Bill Simmons and Peter King salivating over Hideki Irabu Jr. anymore.

you will hear zero mentions of the 1980 WS other than local TV.
Lo Duca is a douche. That is all.

one more thing....freddy garcia? i think lo doucha would have time to read a simmons column in the time it takes a freddy garcia fastball to even reach home plate.

The Rock is gonna kick your candy ass up and down the street for talking smack about him. Can't you smell what he's cooking?
bsmb- yes, i was talking local tv when i said about the 1980 world series, between that and the "Broad Street Bullies" you would think Philadelphia is in some perennial time warp....
Also, could you imagine the outrage if the Red Sox were on the road and had the same situation with the Wright HR occur? Peter Gammons would have another stroke.
I hope the Phillies win the World Series the same year Donny Mac wins the Super Bowl.
This would give Scrotes the double play: a simultaneous jizzing-heart attack.
I'll take a WS and SB and see what happens. I think i can handle it! Even if McNabb is involved.....(although its pretty unlikely for him to be involved in a SB win to begin with).
Its can you smell what the rock is cooking Fletch
Also, Wagner is due one major fuck up a month
Phillies suck
Wasn't trying to quote him word for word, Jamie, but thanks.
