Oh, And The Mets Looked Great This Weekend
To be fair, Johan Santana did run up against Joe Blanton, a card-carrying furry. Even with this much-needed sweep, it still feels like the Marlins are going to backdoor the NL East when no one's looking.[Philly.com]

World F'In Champions May Get Expensive For Some Philadelphia Stations
Chase Utley's prideful "World Fucking Champions" speech at the Phillies parade could be costly to some local radio and television stations. The meddling FCC is now considering handing out fines for the October 31st slip-up which aired live to most of the Philadelphia area. Of course, the celebratory and light-hearted nature of Utley's speech didn't bother most Philly fans. (Most seemed more upset that Utley was dressed up like a horn player for a late night talk show band.) But a few — 26 to be exact — were not amused by the late afternoon f-word. The Inquirer's Michael Klein ran some of the complaints, where most of the authors of the letters sounded predictably aghast: More »

High School Kids Choose Phillies Over Football
Much like the site you're reading now, there were some attendance problems last Friday in certain Philadelphia area school systems. Reports say that as much as 20 percent of the area's students licked their palms and skipped school so they could be sworn at by Chase Utley. Among that group are nine varsity football players at Hatboro-Horsham High School who chose the Phillie victory parade over school—despite being specifically told not to—and now their "disappointed" coach has kicked them off the team.

Brett Myers and The Philadelphia Police Department Welcome you To Watch Monday Night Football With Them
So here's a fun photo taken in the early morning hours after the decisive game 5, when Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was stopped by Philly police officers after he attempted to cross over a blocked off portion of Broad Street. At first Myers was told he couldn't pass, but once several officers recognized him, they happily let him through. Myers rewarded their rule-bending with this photo. Luckily there wasn't anything else going on in the riotous city that night that would require any significant police presence! More »

Dispatches From The Phillies Victory Parade
Breaking News: We have a Daulerio sighting. Your Deadspin editor has been spotted at the Locust Bar at 235 S 10th St., engaged in drunken post-parade revelry with someone named Jim (and later, I'm sure, to be known as "Suspect B"). A courageous reader sent this cell phone shot at great personal risk, and wishes to remain anonymous, although will tell all for more free beer. Mr. Daulerio says hello — or something closely approximating that — and says that he will see you all on Monday. As Westley said to Fezzik in Princess Bride: "I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake. But for now, rest well and dream of large women." More photos following the jump.

Gentlemen, Start Your Hangovers
God only knows where Daulerio is or what he's doing at this hour; hopefully he wasn't involved in the carnage above. Was that a bus shelter? Anyway, the last I heard from him was in a garbled cell phone message, screaming something about attending today's Phillies' victory parade. So don't be surprised if he's not around much (and if he returns on Monday with a brand new American Tourister Travel Tote, we'll know why). City officials must have had our editor in mind when they warned that any "idiot parade antics" today would be dealt with harshly. Let's hope that's indeed the case; and that there are plenty of photos. Put your victory to bed in style, Phillies fans! More »

Unfortunate Babies Poised For Lifetime Of Regret
I'm quite certain that, should he win on Nov. 4, the first order of business in the new Barack Obama administration will be to end the practice of parents naming their children after sports stars. Sadly it's too late for little Cole and Chase Ryan, born just prior to Monday's Great Rain Delay and named after Phillies' players Cole Hamels and Chase Utley. It's a heartwarming story, until you realize that the Phils could still lose this thing, setting up these poor kids for a childhood of recess beatings and lunch money theft. More »

Mystery Phillies Bud Selig Chastiser Identified! (We Think)
Three sources have come forward to reveal the identity of the mystery Philadelphia Phillie responsible for the now-famous quote about Bud Selig on Monday. Upon seeing Selig in the Phillies' clubhouse following the postponement of Game 5 due to rain, a Phillies pitcher looked at him and said: "That fucking guy. I wouldn't let him supervise one of my shits." Who said it? Our man is ... Scott Eyre. For greatness in quoteage, and also for somehow figuring out in August that the Cubs weren't going to get to the World Series and the Phillies were, you win a Deadspin +1. More »

Time To Play: Guess Which Phillie Ripped Bud Selig?
Generally I don't use anonymous quotes, unless it's concerning something really big, like when a member of the Phillies sees Bud Selig in the clubhouse following the Game 5 rain delay and utters the immortal line: "I wouldn't let him supervise one of my shits." Who is this mystery poet? Personally my money's on Cole Hamels, but of course that's just rank speculation. Here are some more clues, plus a second, unknown Selig basher: More »

And It's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
I have to laugh at everyone who contends that God, Mother Nature, Snow Miser or whomever is cursing the Phillies with this rainout business. For a quick read on why we're still playing Game 5 of the World Series more than 24 hours after it should have ended, just check the calendar. It's nearly freakin' November, people. Instead of blaming Jesus, let's just admit that baseball season is about a month too long ... we're all lucky that rain is the only thing we're facing. Or need I remind you of another weather-related disaster that began on this date in history? More »

Life Lessons in Philadelphia Fandom: Nothing Comes Easy
So, Leitch just asked me this question: What would be worse — if the Phillies won the World Series on the five-inning mother nature rule or if they go on to lose this thing in 7 after this? I had to think about it. Obviously, if the Phillies lose this outright in the next three games (whenever those happen), the notion that this city's sports teams are perennially doomed to fail could reach a whole new level: This isn't a black cat or Bartman or Babe Ruth — this is GOD. Yeah, HE did this to us. Probably for pouring beer on children and cornering a terrified Rays fan in a bathroom stall. More »

Well then. If Philadelphia gets a win from Cole "Lynchpin Of Hope" Hamels tonight, they win the World Series. If Scott "Zambrano" Kazmir can act as the stopper, then the Rays move the Series back to Catwalkdome and continue to fight from the corner they've put themselves in. If Tennessee wins, you've got on the wrong game. Onward, 101st Jumpin' Infantry!
