    Fun With Babies: More Horrifying Tales From The Phillies Parade

    Just like Vietnam, it may be decades before the entire tragic picture of the Phillies victory parade finally comes into focus. More disturbing details emerge each day, including this video, in which this excitable Phils fan can't stop fist-pumping, and in the process nearly jettisons his kid. But is that incident worse than the one featuring the bat-wielding psycho mom below? Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Phillies fans. More »

    High School Kids Choose Phillies Over Football

    Much like the site you're reading now, there were some attendance problems last Friday in certain Philadelphia area school systems. Reports say that as much as 20 percent of the area's students licked their palms and skipped school so they could be sworn at by Chase Utley. Among that group are nine varsity football players at Hatboro-Horsham High School who chose the Phillie victory parade over school—despite being specifically told not to—and now their "disappointed" coach has kicked them off the team.

    Brett Myers and The Philadelphia Police Department Welcome you To Watch Monday Night Football With Them

    So here's a fun photo taken in the early morning hours after the decisive game 5, when Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was stopped by Philly police officers after he attempted to cross over a blocked off portion of Broad Street. At first Myers was told he couldn't pass, but once several officers recognized him, they happily let him through. Myers rewarded their rule-bending with this photo. Luckily there wasn't anything else going on in the riotous city that night that would require any significant police presence! More »

    How The Deadspin Editorship Ruins Your Personal Life, But Saves Your Team

    It wasn't long after Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske with a dirtball slider on Wednesday night that the posts started popping up about the eerie connection between being Deadspin's lead editor and the World Series champion. Fans of the Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, Kansas City Royals, lobbied for one of their own to be the next editor of Deadspin so another city's championship drought could mercifully end.

    Believe me — the connection between this job and the Phillies winning the World Series has not gone unnoticed. In fact, the groundwork for the Phillies championship was laid back in July when I, like former editor/floppy-haired hero, Will Leitch, did in 2006, had pending nuptials fall apart. That happened soon after I took over the top spot here. The job transition was tough enough, but manageable. The other thing...well, that's as awkward, disorienting and life-altering as everyone who's been through that unfortunate circumstance says it is. "The Curse of Deadspin", I called it.

    Leitch, who was supposed to be a groomsman, offered consolation this way : "Well, now the Phillies will win the World Series." More »

    Dispatches From The Phillies Victory Parade

    Breaking News: We have a Daulerio sighting. Your Deadspin editor has been spotted at the Locust Bar at 235 S 10th St., engaged in drunken post-parade revelry with someone named Jim (and later, I'm sure, to be known as "Suspect B"). A courageous reader sent this cell phone shot at great personal risk, and wishes to remain anonymous, although will tell all for more free beer. Mr. Daulerio says hello — or something closely approximating that — and says that he will see you all on Monday. As Westley said to Fezzik in Princess Bride: "I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake. But for now, rest well and dream of large women." More photos following the jump. More »

    Gentlemen, Start Your Hangovers

    God only knows where Daulerio is or what he's doing at this hour; hopefully he wasn't involved in the carnage above. Was that a bus shelter? Anyway, the last I heard from him was in a garbled cell phone message, screaming something about attending today's Phillies' victory parade. So don't be surprised if he's not around much (and if he returns on Monday with a brand new American Tourister Travel Tote, we'll know why). City officials must have had our editor in mind when they warned that any "idiot parade antics" today would be dealt with harshly. Let's hope that's indeed the case; and that there are plenty of photos. Put your victory to bed in style, Phillies fans! More »

    Us Did It! Phillies Are World Series Champions

    They sure took their sweet time, but after the most adrenaline-packed three-and-a-half innings of baseball all year (maybe ever?) the Phillies take the lead twice, with the second one sticking for a 4-3 victory, vanquishing the Tampa Bay Rays in five games. More »

    Unfortunate Babies Poised For Lifetime Of Regret

    I'm quite certain that, should he win on Nov. 4, the first order of business in the new Barack Obama administration will be to end the practice of parents naming their children after sports stars. Sadly it's too late for little Cole and Chase Ryan, born just prior to Monday's Great Rain Delay and named after Phillies' players Cole Hamels and Chase Utley. It's a heartwarming story, until you realize that the Phils could still lose this thing, setting up these poor kids for a childhood of recess beatings and lunch money theft. More »
