While many newspapers are using the run-up to the World Series to run some of the most inane baseball coverage ever published, at least one newspaper came through with a somewhat-interesting sideshow article: The New York Times covered the Phillies’ train ride to New York City, and answered the “why” question:
The reason for the train was neither historical novelty nor an exercise in team building in advance of the World Series, which begins Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. It was pure convenience. The distance between Philadelphia and New York is too short for a flight, and a fleet of buses traveling up the New Jersey Turnpike could spend as much time on the approach to the Lincoln Tunnel as the entire train ride.
So for the first time in recent memory, the team boarded the Phillie Express from 30th Street Station in Philadelphia about 4:45 p.m., bound for New York’s Penn Station. [...] The Phillies have been boarding Amtrak charters for several years to Washington to play the Nationals. Normally, the Phillies take a bus to New York if they come directly from Philadelphia.
You don’t come here for fancy New York Times news articles, I think. But don’t worry, there’s a fun part: The train arrived just around rush hour, which means the Phillies have already done their part to annoy New Yorkers.
“It’s almost 6 o’clock now,” said John Williams, an Amtrak police officer, who was hard at work clearing the sidewalk outside Penn Station of commuters trying to get home after work. “This is killing us.”
It will only get worse, Mr. Williams. The Phillies will be doing some more killing of New York when the World Series starts tomorrow night.

In this article, Ken Rosenthal deep throats the Yankees
October 27th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
sheesh talk about relavent…
October 27th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
He works for fox, were you expecting otherwise?
October 27th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Jebus, I thought it was bad listening to him talk verrrry slowwwwwly from the dugout.
His article boils down to the strength of rotation for the Spanks – which apparently equates to CC pitching 3 times.
October 27th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
It’s the only way to travel, Happ
October 27th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I’m pretty sure Brick Tamland from Anchorman and Ken Rosenthal are the same guy.
October 27th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Wouldn’t you be annoyed getting on the train in NY during rush hour. Don’t blame the Phils for this one! There is always madness there. If something else to write about.
October 27th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Rosenthal wasn’t off base. His assessments were solid. He was highly complimentary of the Phillies in that article.
People, people, do this team and the city some justice and don’t go super touch shit fit and overdo the whole, “everyone is against us/ we get no respect” card.
Super Touch Shit Fit, gang.
October 27th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
There are no garantees how many times Rivera is gonna be needed in the closer’s role. There are no certainties that C.C. wont’ get lit up at least once (hopefully either the first or seven games). There is nothing written in stone that Pedro will get beat again by the Yankees.
Point being; who really cares about what the outsiders, especially the so- called experts say?
I know I don’t. All I need to know is what I’ve seen outta this team for the last three years and the belief that this series will bring more of the same.
October 27th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
I like how you pigeons flap your beaks about CC starting games 1, 4 & 7. Like Cliff Lee isn’t your whole fucking starting rotation, right? Who else is going to bring it home? Hamels? Ha! He’s too worried about memorizing the script for the next Comcast commercial to worry about the World Series. Pedro? Double ha! He sucked against the Yankees when he was in his EARLY 30’s. Happ? Rookie won’t be able to take the stress of the World Series. Blanton? Who is this fucking guy? Myers? Hit his wife more times than he started games this year. Moyer? Oh, wait…
Keep flapping your beaks, pigeons.

Yes, Kelly Ripa, the Phillies fan.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
At least one can afford a beer with the steak in Philly–and by the way the old stadium jail cell was for the Eagles—you do know that the Phils have played somewhere else for 6 yrs or is your head too far up A-Roid’s ass to see?
October 27th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
JB: pretty sad when a Phillies fan can’t even live in Philadelphia, huh? She had to move to NY.
Brian: yes. I do know that the Phils have played “somewhere else” for 6 yrs. That’s precisely why I said “old stadium.” And by the way, “somewhere else” is known as Citizens Bank Park. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Just remember to keep salting the fries.

October 27th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
They’re showing one of our games vs the Yankees this season on MLB Network. Right after I turn on the tv, I see Chooch throw Gardner out trying to steal 2nd, and he does his ice-cream celebration! Awesome!!

RR, you sure spend a lot of time coming to this Phillies site to talk shit. Who are the defending champs? Who won this year when the Phillies and Yankees played? How many known steroid users do you have on your team?
October 27th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
People please stop responding to that dude.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:28 pm

In the famous words of JB
“Predictable reach. Try harder.”
New York ruined America? That is the single dumbest comment on this thread. No, no…it is the single dumbest comment on any thread on this entire freakin’ website.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
RR: You’re in a glass house, stop throwing stones.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Here we go again with the 26 World Titles…..spare me. How many were you alive for? I’m sure you remember the 1927 Series. I just puked in my mouth. We live in a ‘what have you done for me lately’ age. If anyone knows that, it’s Yankees fan. The Yankees haven’t done shit since 2000.
The Liberty Bell is one of the most familiar symbols of independence, which you obviously take for granted, throughout the entire United States. The Empire State Building is an erection CC Sabathia….er…a giant gorilla scaled.
And why don’t you compare your old stadium to our old stadium. Not old to new. That’s like comparing my new truck to your old hatchback. Of course mine will be better. For the record, the old Yankee Stadium was a dump. Terrible seating, awful amenities, and it smelled of stale beer and urine. Great history, but the ediface itself was shit.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
A n00b? Ummmmmmm….okay. I wasn’t aware of Kelly Ripa’s show? What ever is it called?
The Yankees have a few ex-users, but since you want to talk about the past….
1) How many rings do the Phillies have?
2) Prior to 2008, when was the last time you could ask “who are the defending world champs” and 3) hear “the Philadelphia Phillies!”
The Phillies won 2 of 3 games this year against the Yankees. If you’re equating a single 3 game series to meaning that Philadelphia is a better team, than you are dumber than I originally thought.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
RR,
haha, “you’re so stupid youre the dumbest dumb guy on the website!” clever thinker
all of a sudden, NY isnt the financial, artistic, historic capital of the world? next time you get laid off, blame the greed of NY. just because you’re too weak to see it doesnt mean its a dumb comment.. all it means is you’re a stale piece of shit and you should never come back, ruiner-of-america.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Ozzie,
If you were as old as the Phillies organization itself, you would be able to say “I’ve seen 2 World Titles.”
Even a 15 year old Yankee fan can say he’s been alive for a handful of World Titles.
Donkey.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:44 pm

did you take your medicine today? If not, it’s time.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
It looks like a certain Yankee blog is now invitation only.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
What exactly is there to be proud about with a franchise that won by outspending its opposition by a large margin?
The Phillies spend alot, but most of our talent is home-grown, and more importantly we don’t nearly approach NYY’s laughably large payroll.
Yea! We pour enormous amounts of cash down the drain! I don’t get it, RR.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
The Statue of Liberty is in New Jersey, Kate Gosselin is from Reading, PA, Mayor Bloomberg and his company have been sued for sexual harassment and gender discrimination more times than I care to count, and the current Yankees haven’t won anything in this decade.
Can we get a new troll in here, please? One that at least has SOME knowledge and a few valid points?
October 27th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
The Phils may be spending today on a train, but tomorrow they’ll be in the Cadillac.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
That’s because Lenny Dykstra is their CFO……
October 27th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
For those of you that don’t know, the Phillies world series titles were in 1980 and 2008.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:52 pm

October 27th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
RR,
new york ruined america, start dealing with it before you heat up your hot pockets this evening. plus, you dont even live in NY so why are you so sensitive about it pricky little guy?
October 27th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
RR:Clown::Phillies:WFC
Nuff Said
October 27th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
It’s people like RR who check out other teams’ blogs to feed some sort of superiority complex/Napoleon syndrome. That shit stopped being cool in high school. I assume we’re all adults (or at least of consenting age), so let’s stop bickering with this bum from New York. I frankly don’t care what he has to say. It just gets kind of old, doesn’t it? I say we just let the guys on the field do the talking.
P.S. Wear it, suck on it.
October 27th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Jupiter, it wouldn’t be so bad if he had something witty or clever to say.
October 27th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I swear, it’s the waiting that’s going to kill all of us. It has been an eternity since we last saw the Phillies play. Will tomorrow ever come?
I could really care less what any Yankees fans say; they act like they already won the damn thing. History won’t help them in this series or any other series for that matter.
October 27th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
is RR the same dude whose redskins lost yesterday?
October 27th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
You make me laugh, RR, you really do…but on the flip side (ie; on the other hand), I also laugh at you.
Both the Liberty Bell and the Statue of Liberty were attained from European nations. Only the Declaration of Independance and it’s subsequent, Constitution were symbols of this great nation’s ethos that were actually produced entirely domestically…consequently, in Philadelphia. Ehhhhh, what a surprise. Not really.
Look, there’s really nothing you can say negatively about this baseball team…at least not if you wish to be taken for any more than a low browed moron. These are the World Fuckin’ Champs, guy. WFC, just FYI.
I can appreciate your attempt at witty banter through competitive civic comparisons…it’s just that yours aren’t very good.
October 27th, 2009 at 6:24 pm

So rather than sit it out, what do we do? We research the writer of one such article and completely undress her. You really might want to check out what we found after some research on this Daily News writer…it may be the best thing we’ve done. (which ain’t sayin much, but still…)

the funny thing is I hate Jay-Z and that style of music (that of course has to be popular these days) but I can’t stop listening to that song. That is, the Philly version of it.

RR – “your” 26 championships dont help ur current team win, do they pitch? do they bat? do they play defense?
last time i checked, trophies are inanimate objects, but if u want trophies to play, by all means, no ones stopping u
October 27th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
@stinkbug…………excellent point……….the live blog must live
we have one hell of a run going
October 27th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Let’s just play the damn series! I love the picture of Chooch right there. The Phillies have been losers for my entire life, seeing as I was born in 1987, and I supported all the Philadelphia teams since my childhood. I just never thought I would see a day when my team would play in its second consecutive World Series. So yeah I want the Fightins to win it all again, and if they lose so fucking be it! We all have to relax, because my friends, it is just baseball. So leave American History alone, forget 2008, and forget 1980. Forget the 26 World Series titles won by Yankees, let the past be the past and live in this current Post Season. May the best team win.
October 27th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
^ Joe Pa, gotta say that is the right attitude. It’s been a hellava ride and may the best team win! ^

ken rosenthal is a midget jew, of course he loves the taste of yankee cum.
i hear all this talk about how much stronger the yankees pitching is, except the phils starters had a combined era lower than the combined era of the yankees starters, while both bullpens had the exact same 3.91 era. so, somehow worse is….better?
i cant wait to watch our boys tear apart cc and his mc hammer pants tomorrow night.

October 27th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
I miss my Fightins blog. Used to be a nice place to fraternize with other Phillies fans. Now every post is filled with pointless trashtalking from pathetic losers. And of course, that just brings out the morons from our own fan base (”midget jew”, seriously?). I just don’t get – do these people go and brag to their friends about all the awesome posts they spent an hour of their day putting on a random Phillies blog?
October 27th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Dlhunter, I think we work at the same place. Know who this is?
October 27th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
On a more important note, what’s the story with the weather? Is there even going to be a game tomorrow? Because I may seriously go crazy if I have to wait another day.
October 27th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
I’ve never seen the appeal of going to another team’s website and talking trash. It’s like grow up and enjoy the World Series instead of trying to ruin it for everyone else.

Long story short – more demand for Phillies tickets than Yankees tickets.
October 27th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
last weather report I saw called for a 100% chance of rain throughout the day, then lows in the low 40s with a 30% chance of rain in the evening………..so there is a chance we’ll see some baseball
October 27th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
weather man in nepa said rain should be cleared out by the first pitch. he better be right….

Someone had mentioned that Sophia (Estelle Getty) had made an appearance on Blossom so I looked it up on YouTube. I would so love Sophia to be my best friend. I will, without shame, admit that I have looked very hard for a purse that strongly resembles Sophia’s.
“I am abhorred.”
“We all know what you are Blanche. It’s good to finally hear you admit it.”
“Sophia, I said abhorred.”
“A whore, a slut, a tramp. It’s all the same thing.”
Someone I know actually used abhorred in a sentence today and I proceeded by reciting the above conversation. No laughs! Ugh, I hate people who aren’t cultured enough to know and recognize a good Golden Girls reference.

@Maria: My grandmother had that exact purse. Why I didn’t snag it when we cleaned out her house, I’ll never know. And I actually started telling a story the other day by saying: “picture it…” No one understood.
@Gonzo: Why I oughta…

I usually start my stories by saying, “Back in St. Olaf…” I actually don’t but it’d be great I started to. Goddddd, I want that purse so bad. It reeks of coolness.

If I ever find one (well, two), I’ll let you know.
October 28th, 2009 at 1:26 am
Do you remember what day of the week she cleans out her purse?
October 28th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Something makes me want to say Thursday, which is probably wrong.
October 28th, 2009 at 1:32 am
Shit, no – it’s Tuesday! Tuesday! Final answer.
October 28th, 2009 at 1:36 am
Tuesdays is right.
It’s the episode where Rose asks her what she’s doing and Sophia says, “cleaning out my ears Rose!”

Classic. But then, they all are.

Gotta love Yankees fans who feel the need to come to a Phil site and troll. Typical. RR is one clueless fuck!!!!!!

I am gay, I admit it.

@Gonzo (109), I just got that.
October 28th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Wow. Some real diehard Philly fans here, huh? Golden Girls? Shit.
October 28th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
It’s been a fucking week since the Phillies have played, there is only so much you can talk about over and over before you just have to wait and watch them play.
I love the freaking Golden Girls and the Phillies. I do have a life.

If you’re that bored, maybe you should update your website more often than once every 6 months.
October 28th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
I never said I was bored. I’m anxious for the game and continuously talking about the same things about tonight’s game is pointless. If you don’t want to read about GG, leave. No one wants you here and no one invited you.
What’s it to you, what I do with my website?

I love A-ROID! He’s the best! Even though I threw him under the bus the past 7 yrs, all is forgiven! I am so fucking gay!
