It’s easy to forget this sometimes, but the Phillies have owners: Actual human beings with skin and bones and faces and a great deal of disposable income.
At Fortress of Pillows, my formidable writing colleague (whose nom de blog is “tpotdomescandal“) references an article from May written by Richard Rys for Philadelphia magazine, which delves into details about the often invisible group of millionaires who control the purse strings (and thus the future) of our beloved franchise.
Here’s the funny part… they actually seem to care about the team!

I personally like the list of potential owners that they have at the end of the article. I really wish they would get around to selling the team to someone who would actually care. I like the idea of Ed Rendell or Pat Croce owning the Phils. We would at least know that they care about the team.

As ridiculous as this might sound (and even I find it ridiculous at times), Donald Trump would make an exciting owner. There’s no way he’d settle for this team being little more than a perennial runner-up, plus he’d be willing and able to pull off the Steinbrenner-esque deals needed to bring big-name talent to Philly.

Plus Harry the K’s needs London Broil. The Donald would deliver. Not personally, mind you, but likely one of his Atlantic City non-English-speaking assistants. As long as it gets to my belly, I’m not concerned as to the “how.”

Well Lidge vs. Pujols 2.0 was very successful, much better than the replay they showed! Thank god we finally got a fucking win.
