That’s right: The last time the Phillies were this bad in the first half of the season, the first Harry Potter book had just come out. Read more
The most amazing thing about how terrible the Phillies are is that they have a relatively decent 14-16 record against the craptacular NL East, take that away and I assume the surviving members of the 1962 Mets would be getting bombarded with interview requests. Read more
I look forward to chowing down on (local foodstuff and/or national fast food chain) when I get to (city) Read more
One man was charged with the real-sounding crime of “unlawful use of a two way communication device.” Read more

I’m having a Mitch Hedberg moment here and thinking the “low-top” shoe should just be called a shoe. Read more
So weird to see a shoe like the Jordan IV being worn in a game setting (and I say that as someone old enough to have watched Jordan ball — on TV, we were poor — in the IVs). In my mind they’re just 100% a fashion/leisure shoe at this point. Read more

I am fascinated by the Stanley Cup and its history. I love the fact that the same trophy is passed to each championship team and that everyone’s names are engraved on it. Read more
