With the diving play by Jimmy Rollins that gave the Phillies the last two outs of today’s game versus the Nationals, the Phillies have clinched the National League East title for the second year in a row. In a very un-Phillies like style, they did not do it at the last possible moment, leaving fans [...]
The Phillies’ magic number is one. That sentence sounds quite beautiful. The Mets lost and the Phillies won today. Perhaps that feels so good to say because I lived in New York last fall and it was hard to watch the Phillies pound the Mets and have everyone say, “Oh, the Mets gave it away.”

Sarah Palin is watching the Presidential Debate in Philadelphia tonight. Where else would she choose to spend this critical moment in the presidential election but the Irish Pub??!! I sure can’t think of a more appropriate place. Check out the scene at 21st and Walnut…it’s wild!

Another hilarious costume is Cap’n Crunch. Cap’n Crunch is recognizable, easy to recreate, and everyone loves him from their childhood memories.
What you need to be Cap’n [...]

I’m still not sure about my opinion of the season premire of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. A favorite of mine for obvious reasons, the show was really, really crazy. Perhaps that’s the beauty of it. You have to respect a show that has the guts to do a cannibalism episode on its season premire…that [...]
