Phillies Looking Tough

The photos revealed by NBC Philadelphia of the Phillies show a determined and pissed-off team looking for revenge, aside from a slight grin in Moyer’s face. With a the lens focused on the eyes, the team looks fierce!

Phillies Statue Of Liberty

This says it all! I hope Cole Hamels used the proper dosage of Pantene tonight and that I don’t have to see his Comcast HD commercials in between dipping nachos.

I just could not get into the Halloween mindset this year, even though one of the biggest and coolest party of any year is happening right down the street from my house at 2424 Studios. It’s all Phillies tonight.

Phillies Win At The Piazza

Carl — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:55:14 +0000

The Piazza at Schmidts was our destination to watch Game 5 of the NLCS, and we couldn’t have picked a better place. Swift Half Pub makes for a great outdoor seating area for pub grub, drinks, and chillin’ with friends while getting an angled yet decent view of the game. I settled in with their steak sandwich and a 4 or 5 Thomas Jefferson Ales. Damn, stay away from these ABV 8.0% ales on a school night. Wow. Good stuff, but, damn!

Soon after the Phillies victory, Melissa got some crazy photos of a streaker, which is funny because we were all joking about having the balls to streak if they win. But this guy was right on it!

Straw

Darryl Strawberry was one of my idols growing up. I remember being a total geek about his 1984 Topps rookie card and wondering how cool the mofo must be to hang out with. Of course, I was only in 5th grade and didn’t know what he was really up to with good ole Dwight Gooden and Mookie Wilson.

With his new book, Straw, Darryl Strawberry apparently opens up about the sexcapades him and the boys had. The “in between innings” BJs with groupies sounds like a tough one to pull off, living like cliche rock stars as ball players. F-ing hilarious.

Phillies Phishtown Celebration

Carl — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 04:40:30 +0000

On October 29th, 2008, I watched the Phillies win the World Series at Johnny Brendas in Fishtown. Below is some footage shot moments after the victory, when the tightly packed bar exploded with energy and everyone ran outside to make some noise. This was a great celebration in Fishtown with loads of fireworks, honking horns, non-stop high-fives,and just pure hilarity.

Does Vimeo look better?

Phillies Championship Parade

Here’s some footage of the Philadelphia Phillies Championship Parade on Broad Street. It was a beautiful day out, blue skies, mid-60s, and loads of fans everywhere. We started at 15th & Market Streets, which was an absolute nightmare. Descending down to Broad & Washington Streets made for a better view and a more fun crowd as well.

YouTube or Vimeo…Which one looks better?!

Do It For Steve Irwin!

Carl — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:28:08 +0000

Uggh, Game 2 of the World Series last night was torturous to watch. It was great to see Bruntlett score big and Ruiz be a hitting machine (?!), but damn, it was a tough one to watch.

What made it even more difficult to watch was that I tried out a new venue, The Urban Saloon, which was disastrously understaffed. The greasy burger that I got took forever to arrive, and was served on toast that wasn’t even qualified to be called Texas Toast. It was accompanied by about 12 undercooked fries. The Urban Saloon is massive, with a bar and many tables, multiple hi-def TVs, and a massive "back room" that looks like it should be used for a lame wedding reception.

Now we can only hope to win 3 games in a row and win the shebang in Philly! And, most importantly, they have to do it for Steve! When I saw this Photoshop creation (see below), and others like it floating around on the web, I lost my shit. Let all the Tampa Bay parents give their kids those dumbass mohawks and then dye it blue. We need to avenge the tragic death of Steve Irwin, a man destroyed by a Ray.

Phillies N.L. East Champions!

Carl — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 22:44:47 +0000

Last night, I was at the Phillies game with Melissa to witness the Philadelphia Phillies win the 2008 N.L. East title at their 161st game of the year! What a stressful and close game! Moments after the double-play at the top of the 9th that ended the game, I shot some footage.

This is probably some of the WORST footage I’ve shot in my life, but I was so crazed and just wanted to take it all in. Excuse the shakiness! What a great time…At the end of the footage is little Leo DiCello, my friend Russ’s son. This was his FIRST game ever, and what a great first game for him to take in. Too bad he won’t remember any of it!

Phillies Summer Solstice Fun

Carl — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 23:18:20 +0000

After the Magic Garden fun, I met up with the Virginville Crew and Richie-Rich, along with the Celebrity Kids Duo for a smoldering hot day at Citizen’s Bank Park. Being the longest day of the year and sitting above right field made for non-stop sunlight action. Luckily, I wore sun screen and kept getting up to eat as much as possible. We ended up at Johnny Brenda’s, of course. Where else?

Richie Rich enjoys a hot dog and a brew. That’s a New Hampshire shirt he’s wearing, not a Yankees shirt. (A drunk guy in the bathroom was barking at him about it.)

Jen and Wayne chillin’ in the sun.

And the sun keeps hanging on. Richie Rich sporting a beard longer than Wayne’s?

Wayne and his blue cast, soon to be departed from it.
