What the Phuck is Wrong with You?

Alright Philly, it’s time we had a talk.  First of all, what’s wrong with you?  As a city?  As a society?  What the hell is your problem?  And make no mistake, you have a problem.  At a certain point, events stop being isolated incidents and start being a pattern, and Philadelphia sports fans have a [...]

Hey small market teams, eat sh*t and die.

The baseball off-season has been slow to develop, unless your team was already awesome.  The Yanks got Granderson; the Sawx got Lackey and Mike Cameron; the Phillies traded one ace to Seattle (Lee) for another from Toronto (Halladay); the Angels got Matsui; the Mets will probably land Jason Bay; the Cardinals are desperate to re-sign [...]

Charlie Manual: “We’re gonna start Cliff Lee in games 6 and 7.”

Phillies’ manager Charlie Manual announced his starting pitchers for game 6 and 7 of the World Series: Cliff Lee.  The Phillies’ ace is coming off a game 5 win on Monday, after pitching a complete-game win in game 1, and will be coming off a two day rest and zero day rest between his next [...]

Johnny Damon Is WAY Smarter Than He Looks

Yes, Johnny Damon became famous as one of the key guys on a team that bragged about being a bunch of idiots.  Yes, he  married a stripper who he started dating because his friend Derek Lowe, who was nailing her at the time, said “Dude, you have to sleep with this chick.  It’s awesome!”  But [...]

Welcome to the 21st Century, Bud Selig

Good morning , Bud Selig.  Did you sleep well?  I f#cking hope not.  Your playoffs have been a joke, with at least 7 horrendous calls that easily could have been overturned with instant replay.  But you don’t want instant replay because you’re a baseball “purist.”  Really?  Where was your baseball purity when you turned a [...]

Total-Lee, Complete-Lee, Utter-Lee, Absolute-Lee, Thorough-Lee, Positive-Lee Dominant

I think I covered all the cheesy puns that will appear on sports pages this morning.  News papers are predictable.  Maybe THAT’s why they’re going out of business, because they use puns as headlines.  Anyway, Cliff Lee pitched one of the great games in World Series History last night.  It would have been a shutout [...]

Dapper Dan Wins it for the Phillies

In last night’s World Series game 1, Chase “Dapper Dan” Utley hit two homers to break a stalemate between Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia.  Eventually, the Phillies went on to score a few more runs against the Yankees bullpen after Utley “Chase-d” CC from the game (see what I did there?).  And Cliff Lee went [...]

Whoever Wins, Philly fans are Gonna Get Stabby

The World Series is here!  There are so many cool angles to this matchup.  There are the two best lineups in baseball, two great three-man rotations, former teammates and back-to-back Cy Young winners CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee facing off in game 1 (and maybe more than once), Pedro vs. the Yankees in a contest [...]

Sausage Links

Today on Sausage links we have a feature instead of multiple links.  This is a piece about how depressing it is to be a Cleveland Indians fan right now because you have to watch your consecutive Cy Young winners, CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee, pitch against each other in the World Series for teams other [...]

The Philladelphia Phillies Phinish Phirst

You like that title?  Does it’s cheesiness bother you?  I’m actually positive that some newspaper out there is running that exact title without any sense of how reprehensible it is.  News papers love puns and sh*t.  Anyway, the Phillies clinched their World Series birth yesterday after having a 9 inning victory lap around the Dodgers.  [...]
