My Nickname is Chooch!

Last night we all witnessed the Phillies destroy the Giants.  The series is tied at 1-1 heading into San Francisco and Cole Hamels is taking the mound for us.  I’m pumped.  After that ridiculous Game 1 loss, I was distraught. The best part of that entire game last night was the Philadelphia Phillies introducing themselves in the line-up.  Carlos Ruiz in a broken spanglish accent says “My neeeckname es Choooch!!”  It took me a little searching, but I found the video, and some other gems from last night.  Enjoy! {youtube}Xuf_J_QJRms{/youtube} *I also had a video of a fan who…

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 6: The Biggoron Sword

Heyo.  I’m a little late posting my picks this week for two reasons. 1.) It’s been crazy at work.  Moreso at my job coaching than my other job writing. 2.) I’ve started playing Legend of Zelda The Ocarina of Time again and that game is the grrrrrrreeeatest game of all time.  No joke.  Look it up.  So yeah, while I’ve been searching for eye drops to get me that Biggoron Sword, I’ve been negelecting my duties here at Theheadrush, and I haven’t been walking my dog or cleaning my cats litter box.  They’re crying, but I ain’t hearing it. …

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 5: Historically Wrong

Ok, so yesterday, I was going to write a column about how nervous I was for Game 1 of the NLDS, about how Halladay had never pitched in a big game and how the fact that all the pundits were picking the Phillies to win it all was a bad omen. I was going to write how I thought the Phils would lose game 1. Holy balls was I wrong. Not just wrong. Historically wrong. Of all the things I have written on this website that have been wrong, that one would’ve been a doozy. Glad I was too…

Let the Firings Begin!!

There are a lot of differences between football and baseball, but one that stands out so particularly this Monday is how each sport replaces their players and coaches.  In football, the window of success is much smaller, and results are expected so much quicker that often players lose their jobs sometimes mid-game.  Just look at the Arizona Cardinals.  In one month, the team has gone to their 3rd quarterback after losing faith in Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson (how could that possibly happen?) and made one of those switches mid game yesterday.  Baseball however, does the exact opposite. Today…

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 4: It’s Never Funny in Philadelphia

Oh my. How did it ever come to this?  I’m not talking about my atrocious NFL gambling picks—I know I ain’t got no feel—I’m talking about the recent shittyness of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Holy balls have they been bad.  I’ve seen two outta the three episodes this year and I think I laughed maybe twice.  Let’s put it this way, when I’d rather watch Pauly D and Ronnie say “It’s Teeeeeeee-shirrrrrrrrrtttt Tiiiimmmmmeeee” than an episode of Sunny, it’s not a good thing.  So how did we get here?  The first three seasons were gold.  The show couldn’t…

Cinematic Badass of the Day: Quint

“Here’s to swimmin’ with bow-legged women”–Quint I watched Jaws last night for about the 3,000th time in my life and I just wanted to give a special shout out to Quint, the drunk boat captain who goes out the way all badasses should go out: getting ripped apart by a Goddamn shark.  When I was a kid, I liked Hooper better than Quint.  I don’t know why.  Hooper sucks.  (Nasally voice): “Ummm…mayor….It’s a carcharodon carcharias.”  Yeah, whatever you say, nerd.  Quint is a man of the sea, broke his arm in an arm-wrestling contest, survived a torpedo attack and…
