Not that this means anything. But the #Phillies were 10-0 last postseason when they took a lead of two runs or more.

Go Wertz!

Always wondered where the heck you get a can of worms.

bait store -- quite prolific in the south -- but I think Dick's and other sporting goods stores.... but it's more like a tupperware container than a can....

Can actually get 'em at WalMart down here, sporting goods dept. In those styrofoam soup thingies.

But it's the can thing I wonder about.

Here:

http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-can1.htm

The evidence suggests that the original cans of worms were real cans with actual worms in them, collected as bait for fishing. (The can in this case being a smallish metal container with a handle and a lid.) Here’s one in a largely forgotten work of 1914, Diane of the Green Van, by Leona Dalrymple: “There are times, alas, when even fish are perverse! Thoroughly out of patience, Diane presently unjointed her rod, emptied the can of worms upon the bank, and returned to camp.” Fishermen have told me that the most annoying aspect of opening a can of worms is that, being live bait, they crawl out and are difficult to put back. So there may well be an association with the idea of Pandora's Box, as you suspect.

It’s easy to see how an angler — more probably a non-fishing friend or relative of an angler — who opened a can containing a wriggling mass of worms would see it as something that was best left closed and unexamined.

Hey everyone. My first post here after getting tired of another site, and it's great to see Lee pitching this well, especially after those couple of mistakes in the 1st inning.
