Always A Fun Night In Philly When The Mets Are In Town
Why can't you dim-witted Mets fans just behave yourselves when you come to Philadelphia? We get it. You like to be loud and obnoxious, and you won't back away from a fight. That would be an insult to your Cro-Magnon Guido charm if you walk away from a playful taunt with a smile or just show some respect for your surroundings. But, I understand. It's hard not to be a boorish cocksucker. You're born that way. It would just be nice if you surprised us one time. But you won't. More »

You Won't Be Able To Hide From This Election
Anyone watching the Mets-Phillies game on ESPN last night probably noticed the avid political junkie who kept putting up a "HILLARY" sign every time a lefthanded hitter came to the plate. More »

Observations From Opening Night At Shea
We attended our first baseball game of the season last night, a sloppy, ugly, slightly comical 8-2 Mets win over the Phillies. We tried to attribute it to a cold April night, but seriously, we're not sure the Phillies were actually wearing gloves. More »

The Usual Dash Of Dollar Dog Night Bacchanalia
Wednesday night at the Philadelphia Phillies Citizens Bank Park marked opening night and its first official "Dollar Dog NIght" promotion, which culminated in a Phillies 1-0 loss and, as usual, another mesmerizing display of shit-faced chaos courtesy of the revved-up monkeys. Ever since the Phillies started using this promotion to attract college kids, it always seems to end in anarchy. Dollar hot dogs, for whatever reason, seem to bring out the more aggressive side of a fanbase. Perhaps it's the nitrates. More »

Obviously, Tom Gordon Didn't Get His Balls Blessed
Yesterday morning, right in front of the Mike Schmidt statue at Citizens Bank Park, the Philadelphia Phillies had their balls blessed by a priest, a rabbi and a pastor with the hopes of giving 2007's team to beat an extra boost of godliness to kick off 2008. Well, God was napping yesterday, as the Phillies ended up getting trounced by the Washington Nationals, even though the holy water had yet to fully dry on the seams. More »

Baseball Season Preview: Philadelphia Phillies
For the third consecutive season, we are proud to introduce the Deadspin Baseball Season Previews. Yes, baseball is awfully close now; it's spring training, after all.
Every weekday until the start of the season, a different writer will preview his/her team. We asked a gaggle of writers, from the Web, from print, from books, to tell us, in as many or as little words as they need, Where Their Team Stands. This is not meant to be factual, or dispassionate, or even logical: We just asked them to riff on why they love their team so much, or what their team means to them, or whatever.
Today: The Philadelphia Phillies. Your author is A.J. Daulerio and ... Bill Conlin.
A.J. Daulerio will be the senior writer at Deadspin starting March 31. Bill Conlin covers the Phillies for the Philadelphia Daily News. Their words are after the jump.

Sign The Man Up To Play Third Base
Of all the teams whose spring trainings John Daly might visit, we have to say, it makes a certain amount of sense that he would drop by Phillies camp. As Bugs & Cranks points out, he doesn't look that much different than John Kruk, circa 1993. More »

Citizens Bank Park Is Off To A Thrilling Postseason Start
You know, it sure does seem like there are a lot of forlorn, lonely looking Phillies fans pictures on the wire today. And why wouldn't there be? More »

NLDS Game 2 Live Blog: Phillies Vs. Rockies
You can't expect the Phillies' top stars to go hitless again, but it's clear that they're in some serious trouble if they lose this game. It's Franklin Morales for the Rockies and Kyle Kendrick for the Phillies, and if that doesn't scream Playoff Baseball, we don't know what does.
Your live blogger — who has reliable Internet access — is Deadspin associate editor Rick Chandler. Enjoy his excellence after the jump. And, of course, play along in the comments.

Some Quiet, Bewildered Phillies Fans
We'll be doing short wrapup posts about each of yesterday's games, by the way. In case you're wondering.
It has been so long since the Phillies hosted a postseason game that we had to wonder how they would handle losing Game 1 of the NLDS to an oddly dominant Jeff Francis and the Rockies yesterday. They've been strangely quiet on the blogs, but a visit from a Rockies fan to enemy territory — hopefully properly disguised — might tell the real story.

NLDS Game 1 Live Blog: Phillies Vs. Rockies
OK, the playoffs are here, and you're stuck at work. Worry not!
We'll be live blogging all the day games this week, and we kick you off with today's Phillies-Rockies tilt at Citizens Bank Park. It's Cole Hamels for the Phillies and Jeff Francis for the Rockies. And your live blogger is John Bolster, sports editor at Penthouse magazine. After the jump, enjoy, and, of course, play along in the comments. (You can also email him right here)
(UPDATE: Mr. Bolster's Internet connection has collapsed. So we're sorry, but the live blog is all kaput. It happens. The early evening game will work smoother. Frankly, we're having a good enough time watching the commenters keep us updated. But nevertheless: We apologize. We recommend you check out The 700 Level's live blog. Sorry.)

Playoff Pants Party: Phillies Vs. Rockies
The best part about the playoffs is that every team can, legitimately, be considered a "team of destiny." The only team last year that probably didn't have a claim as a "team of destiny" going into the playoffs was the team who won the World Series. More »

Mourn The Mets
Before we commence burying the Mets' and their historic collapse, let's take a moment and congratulate the Phillies, who had to earn their way here. (Daulerio was at the game in Philly yesterday and we're pretty sure Victorino got him with that water hose.) The Phillies will be incredibly fun to watch over the next week or so. But, oh heavens, those Mets. More »
