Hey folks. Since there was a recent election, it was only a matter of time before I got my prying little eyes on the write-in votes cast in Philadelphia during it (read: my good friends at the City Commissioner’s Office…
Well, it came down to the last game of the season, and the Fightin’ Phillies averted triple-digit disaster. Courtesy of their 7-2 win over the Marlins, the Phillies end the season with a 63-99 record. Sure, it’s the worst in…
With last night’s inside-the-park-grand-slam drubbing of the Washington Nationals, the Phillies sit 5 wins away from not losing 100 games on the season. This, of course, means that they will need to finish up on a 5-3 run. This, of…

Took Louden over to Strawberry Mansion this morning for opening day of the Strawberry Mansion All-Stars Little League program. I wrote about this program at its inception in 2007. And, I wrote about it last year. There’s a reason why…
Friday night, it was Freddie and Gary in town for Phillies/Cubs in South Philly. (Cubs win!) Saturday night, it was my man E Ray’s bachelor party and the Hopkins/Tarver in Atlantic City. (Hopkins loses.) Alas, I was still tied up…
