I don’t know why headline writers love puns. Maybe it’s because it gives them a chance to show how clever they are. Nothing is more difficult to do than taking one word that kind of sounds like another word and pulling the old switcheroo.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m just as guilty as anyone. I’m not going to look up my past transgressions, but I’m sure they’re out there floating around the blogosphere. (Perhaps saved in Nomo or clown’s Bookmarks for Arrested Development-style callbacks.)
Maybe it’s picture. I don’t know. What a Philling indeed! Some of those guys must be Philled with excitement. I’m pretty sure I see someone Hamelsing it up in the background. I wonder if any of the players went out and effed any pretty little Phillies last night. I can’t imagine them not wanting to celebrate the series Victorino. Maybe a player took that nice little Philly out to a Phila-deli-fia and bought them a Philly Cheese Steak.* Then they probably went out to the club, Philled them full of alcohol, Phelt them up and then took them back to the hotel to… watch highlights.
All this being said, the reason I’m writing this is to congratulate our good friend Gonzo. The main Phillies fan hasn’t been around much since Red Lasso went away. (Coincidence? I say we check the white collar prisons and we’ll find a blogger who likes PBR almost as much as I do.) I know he’s reading this up there in Heaven. (Read: The arms of another man.)
I hope while you’re waiting for the World Series to start you find something to Phill the days.
*That one wrote itself.
This post was Phunny
Phuck yeah CRM. i saw an article that said the Phans were Phreaking out after the win.

Roman could of been the Mets. How does that Pheel, Phucking sucks does’nt it.
/phixed
Tampa…It would not have been the mets, not with that Phuckin Bullpen
Roman I still cant get over that no one I mean no one in that Pen was reliable.
I’m Rollins on the phloor laughing at this post…totally Werth the read…just don’t read it while standing on a Lidge cuz you might phall off which might make you Mad-son. Howard you like that?
/too much?
Tampa–It really is amazing that the pen was so phucking terrible…even a 8 run cushion wasn’t enough sometimes.
i can’t believe that Phat piece of shit Matt Stairs can still hit a phucking home run.
oh what a filling?
/you’re just a rabid anti-dentite

Yea Roman it only works with the Phillies not the Mets.
The Phils really snatched Victorino from the jaws of defeat.
hopefully the Eyre in Philly isn’t smoggy.
/OK I’m done now
The Phillies are good but I have a Feliz that the Rays are going to win the WS.
when David Wright saw Strahan’s new sweater he said, “oooo, that looks FABULOUS, is that kazmir?”

What the hell is “Punny”?
And I hope that the Phils plane crashes on the way to Tampa. Only Cole Hamels will survive bc God likes the gheys.
I’m being serious.
If Cole Hamels is teh ghey, then he has a nicer beard than David Wright.
I bet Cole Hammel’s wife owns a strap on or five.
