Hooray! Two nonstops, Fairbanks to Seattle, Seattle to Philly, and I'm there. No more messing around with Chicago or JFK! Inaugural sales are pretty good, too. Might be worth a trip this summer.
Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. The Phanatic on my front step this evening, and, well, apparently he doesn't mind the cold!

So, I apologize profusely for linking to Bleacher Report. I've already said ten Hail Marys, sacrificed a live chicken and had a shot of whiskey, so please go easy. But check out number whichever one comes last. It's a long shot, but definitely plausible.
NOTE: FrontPaged for the laffs. - WC I bet you can't guess who wrote this. "Yet, there should be another number that is painted on to the wall in Ashburn Alley: No. 54. Brad Lidge’s greatness in red pinstripes may be limited to one year. But it was the most important individual season in franchise history." Really. Surprise! It's Casey Feeney!

Also known as our very own Fuqua Manuel. Fascinating stuff! Teaching chess? How do you get that job. Awesomesauce.
So, if you'll forgive some creative interpretation of the term "rock anthem," I hope you'll find the following a good summarization of some of TheGoodPhight's more notable bloggers. Originally...

Not sure if this is kosher or not, but I have written an essay on my love of baseball on my own blog, which you all might be interested in.

Mel Queen, the noted mechanical, electrical, nuclear and pitching engineer responsible for designing and manufacturing the famed, "Roy Halladay" robot, passed away at the age of 69. RIP
Says he wants to tell his story the right way; that we've all got the wrong idea. I dunno, John, I think we understand you pretty clearly.
Mr. Grant Brisbee over at Baseball Nation has an interesting take on rankings. Name strength! For the Phils: "22 Phillies - The San Francisco Frannies. The Atlanta Atties. The Boston Bosties. Do it for any city, and it sounds stupid, but because you're used to this one, it's somehow okay? Open your eyes, sheeple." Personally I would have gone with the Colorado Collies.
The recent post about a Chicago meet-up has me thinking. I'll be in Seattle for the Phils' trip there in June (6/17-6/19), and would be willing to do a meet-up there. I'll also happily buy a beer...
