And they were unable to correctly punctuate a third.

And I guess if those were 3 cities, then "New York" would be a state, which further advances the mess that is this map.

Washington DC is also oddly enough not on the Chesapeake Bay.

Nor is New Jersey shaped like the profile of a dude.

Funny. From the way it looks, the new york dude looks like he is pointing way down, while philly dude is pointing sky high.

You don't believe in the curse, do you? I had become a non-believer ... until that pop-up Rollins couldn't catch. Now, I'm wondering what else the postseason has in store for us. Root for the Phillies to win, period.

Even Ozzie Smith can't catch every pop up in a monsoon. That was no curse, baseball shouldn't have been played at that moment.

I am not sure if I had a ticket that I could go to the Sixers game. Maybe they will have the scoreboards set too broadcast the Phillies game.

The article on Phillies.com didn't specify, but I understand it to be any lot run by that company (don't know the name). Of course, any side lot (Holiday Inn, etc), might not honor the same.

i was considering it; now i'm pretty set on it if i can get a real-life wingman or a whole crew together. seriously, i can't think of a better way to watch this game.

my friends might be a little cold on the idea, though, after last night.

FWIW, local music promoter R5 Productions is saying they have a source at the Phillies who say that playing tomorrow night is not likely. If true, wow...

Haha, I've been to plenty of R5 shows--but what could they possibly know that nobody else seems to about this?

hmm, i wonder how mr. agnew got that kind of information.

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 16:54:56

You'd have to be a real Fox Mulder type to think that information even exists.

Geez, I wasn't blaming Rollins. He and Mike Schmidt are the two best players I've ever seen in terms of handling infield pop-ups. I just said that was the moment I began to wonder if maybe Philadelphia is cursed.
