Apparently, someone (other than me) has noticed that it's been awhile since I've had a post. Ordinarily, if someone threatened to "de-link" me, I would be pissed. So why is Drew different? Because he's the only person that has room to make that threat. Meaning: He actually posts in his blog. He keeps me entertained, so I figure I should return the favor.
Since I know he's a Phillies phan...
10,000 Loses/10,000 Marbles:
Last week, to commemorate the Phil's upcoming 10,000th loss, Preston and Steve of WMMR dropped 10,000 marbles down the Art Museum Steps.
Curse of Billy Penn:
For those of you that don't know, the theory goes like this: There was a gentleman's agreement that no building would stand taller than the tip of William Penn's hat (on top of City Hall). This agreement was honored until 1984 (the year after the last championship), when One Liberty Place was built. None of the four major Philly sports teams has won a championship since. They have however, lost 7 championship games, which happens to be the same number of buildings that are taller than the statue.
Comcast is trying to break this curse. Their new building will be the tallest in the city (975 feet) and on top of it, they are affixing a 25 foot statue of Billy Penn.

10,000 losses.... no big deal. I'm glad it's over with so the Phils can focus on making it to the damn playoffs.
