    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 »

    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 »

    Perhaps More Philadelphians Should Consider Mass Transit

    From Upstate Underdog at Walk Off Walk comes this video of Philly fans joyfully destroying an automobile in the wake of last night's victory. And really, if you were dumb enough to park your damn car in the city proper last night, don't you pretty much deserve to have it flipped and stomped on? I say yes.

    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 »
