This is probably one of the best pranks I have ever seen. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher, Kyle Kendrick got tricked into thinking he was getting traded to Japan.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 2007 NL EAST CHAMPS!!!
September 30, 2007 11:12pm in life
Jimmy Rollins has the last laugh as it turns out, the Phillies were the team to beat this year in the NL East. In a dramatic fashion, the Phillies won the division by beating the Nationals 6-1 today as the Mets got creamed 8-1 by the Marlins. PHILLIES ARE BACK IN THE PLAYOFFS BABY! After 14 years...they're back! Anyway, I watched the entire game and it was a good one.

In other news, I'm starting to work on a new design for my site. Not quite sure what exactly I'm aiming for, but we shall see.

Stupidly Optimistic

Am I being stupidly optimistic?

So while I was playing poker last night we turned on the Phillies game only to see them losing 6-2 to the Nationals...c'mon the Nationals suck this year. I was pissed so I turned it off. An hour or so later, we turn it back on and what do you know, game's tied 6-6 apparently thanks to a monster home run by Jayson Werth (I saw the replay, it was a great shot, and in RFK stadium, it's hard to hit home runs). We continued to play poker and in the 8th inning I think it was Carlos Ruiz managed to get to 2nd and J-Roll was at the plate and my cousin Tim says "He's gonna hit the ball past the first baseman" Several pitches later, Jimmy hits the ball down the first baseline and gets a single scoring Ruiz putting the Phils on top 7-6. They eventually won the game and I ended up winning $15 in Poker after splitting the pot with Bailey.

Which brings me to my main thought. Am I being stupidly optimistic thinking that the Phillies really have a chance to get to the playoffs? They're 1.5 games back from the Mets in the NL East and 2.5 games behind the Padres in the NL Wildcard race. But why am I so optimistic this year, the Phillies have been like this the past two years only to end up 1-2 games back from the wildcard when all is said and done. They do this every year and every year I get all my hopes up. Oh well, maybe this year is the year...GO PHILLIES!
