Get Outta Delaware Park Week 10: Look into Anne Frank’s Eyes

Ah, crap.  I didn’t want to do this column today but then I remembered: There is a Thursday night game.  Gah! What the F, NFL?  Now I have Thursday night fantasy football anxiety AND Sunday morning fantasy football anxiety?  What are you trying to do to me? Do I start Flacco, who plays tonight, or Mike Vick, who I just got via trade? I’m leaning towards Vick, but man, I have a gut feeling that Flacco is going to light it up. Some other random thoughts before I get on to the picks (oh and by the way, I…

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 9: Politics!

I hate election day.  This year’s sucked worse than most. I got the day off this year (yea!!!!) but instead of getting to sit around all day in my pajamas and play Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on N64 or “read” (aka watch my WWE The Rock: The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment DVD), I had to get my lazy ass up to Wilson Elementary school to vote in an election where all I knew was who I didn’t want to win.  I didn’t care who won, as long as this individual lost, I’d know that I’d done…

I Love Randy Moss!!!

Haha, what a debacle. Randy Moss is slipping into insanity in the public eye so well it would make Martin Lawrence jealous. Just yesterday he was cut from the Minnesota Vikings after signing with them just a mere month ago. Yahoo! speculates it’s because he weirded everyone out at a recent team meal. Apparently the dinner was catered by a local company, and Moss was incredibly vocal with insults towards the event staff. According to witnesses, he kept yelling insults towards the catering staff, refusing to eat, and isolated himself from his teammates. “Damn, this some good ass cheese…….

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 8: Evan Turner Ain’t Ever Scared!

Ok, so the Sixers kicked off the 2010-11 NBA season yesterday with a predictable loss to the Heat. What wasn’t predictable? Evan Turner played like a stud. Look at this stat line: 16 pts on 7-10 shooting, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. And he did this with Lebron James and Dwyane Wade guarding him all night. In his NBA debut. Narsty. Turner played the way we all want Iguodala to play: hungry, aggressive and simply not scared at all of anybody. Iggy played like he always does: scared, content to shoot jumpers, lethargic. He’ll be traded this season to…

Which Trilogy is Better?

Ok, so to get my mind off of the Phillies failure, the Raiders went out and historically curb stomped those dirty Denver Donkeys.  Yea!!!  But unfortunately, that euphoria didn’t last and as the reality of the Giants/Rangers world series (Ugh, I just threw up in my mouth) set in, I realized that I needed a little pick me up.  My pick me up of choice?  Taco night with a side of that Nic Cage classic:  Face/Off!  And wow, I was not disappointed. As far as acting goes, I don’t think it gets any worse than Travolta and Cage in…

Don’t Ever Throw the Ball Back

So that’s it.  Let it sink in.  The Phillies baseball season is over. Every single game was a nail biter, every game had waaaaaaay more runners in scoring position than usual, and every game had almost all of them stranded. A startling fact was presented to me earlier in this series: at the end of this year, every starting Phillies player will be 30 or older.  I think this is an inevitable sign of the downhill path the Phillies have ahead of them, and the sad sad future we have ahead of us. Maybe I’m just in a terrible…

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 7: Stupid Rodeo Clown

And that’s that. The Phillies are done. (And here is where an older sports writer would insert: Finished. Defeated. Kaputz). Done in by the hand of a freaking rodeo clown reject. Did anyone else read that story about Cody Ross not becoming a rodeo clown to become a major league baseball player? I didn’t. But I did read the headline and all I could think of was: This!? This is who we’re losing too!? This!!!!!!?????? A stupid rodeo clown? Man oh man, what has happened to our beloved Phillies? Their pitching has been ok, if you can ignore the…
