Fitting this blog experiment should begin with a soul squashing loss by the Phillies of Philadelphia, who can tease the nether regions of an entire tri-state area like no other. The Phils fell to the Atlanta Braves last night, while the Padres pulled a win out of the anuses, dropping the Phils one game back in the Wild Card.
The theme of the night was Suffering at the Hand of Douchebag Americanus, as the Phils were victimized by elder statesman douchebag, Chipper Jones, and his young upstart protege, Jeff Francoeur, whose enormous teeth and French name seem tailor-made for an Alpha Beta sweater. Several hours later, Brian Giles, whose douchebagocity includes urinating on teammates, snapped out of a huge slump to hit a ninth inning homer for the Pads.
This is nothing particularly new, as we Phils fans should know to expect such things in the final week of the season. The Phils have to face Tim Hudson and Tim Hudson’s overly tight pants tonight.
