Philly Phlashback

Speaking of Jon (in the post below), the Phillies' win last night reminded me again of the first stop we made on a baseball trip almost three and a half years ago. During our time in Philadelphia, we appreciated the team's new stadium, enjoyed the work of a conspicuously displayed organist, figured out what exactly the Philly Phanatic is supposed to be, and came to respect the mascot even more after exposure to others around the league.

We also (as pictured) sat silently by as the Phanatic attempted to suck the brains out of a fan in our row.

Congrats to the Phillies, a very tough, likable team that beat an equally tough and likable opponent. Now, excuse me as I work on the first draft of my fantasy rankings for 2009...
