I fully understand if a journeyman MLBer who has finally reached the World Series after 16 seasons of coming up short wants to go a little overboard in the celebration, but for some reason, I didn’t really expect that type of behavior out of Chan Ho Park. Well, after watching a nice fan made production of his celebratory actions, I couldn’t have been more wrongerer.
The pride of South Korea stood on top of the Phillies dugout and used a champagne bottle like a cot damn fire extinguisher soaking every fan in sections 115-118. It looks like one of those fans was taping it on his little camcorder, spliced in some shots from The Pen, some AP images, and some celebration footage, set it to some catchy hip-hop music, uploaded it to YouTube, and now we can all enjoy.
Chan HOOOooooooooooo
I have no idea how I — nay, ANYONE — missed this from Wednesday’s fabulous clincher at The Bank, but according to a perverted tipster named Seth, we now have proof that the Phillies effect on their fans is, for a lack of a better term, TITillating. (Oh shit, see what I did there? I capitalized it in case you didn’t.)
Kudos to the fella sitting behind the home dugout last night repping Birdland x The Fightins in his ‘Charlie Manuel Has A Posse’ t-shirt.
We’re big time now, bitch!

You gotta stay with it until the end…
Who won the NLCS, Buck? Was it the Yankees, or the Red Sox?
Seriously, this is one of the stranger slips of the tongue ever. Still, it’s amazing the Phillies are now so good they’re being confused with the Yanks and Sox.

Who woulda thunk it?
Manny Ramirez wasn’t the only one in the shower when Jimmy got that hit:
I asked someone to hook this up on Twitter and cot dammit if Nate Stephens didn’t come through.
Everyone — big round of applause for Nate.
Easily one of my favorite parts of the Phillies run through the playoffs is when the local news stations make their non-sports fan field reporters play host to a wacky street segment with Philly fans. They are usually meaningless fluff pieces that have no real point other than to get people to scream on camera and act all crazy and shit.
And sometimes, that know-nothing field reporter will slip up and say something so inappropriate that it prompts a blogger to record the piece and put it on his or her website for all to mock.
This example would fall under the second category.
Meet Fox 29’s Mike Jerrick. This morning, Mike’s job was to interview the founding members of the Padilla Flotilla. It doesn’t sound like such a hard task; all you have to do is ask them how and why they started that particular fan group, get them to denounce said fan group now that Padilla is pitching for the Dodgers, get them to scream “PHILLAAAAAYYYYYYYS!” real loud into the camera, and finally, introduce them to a new fan group that they could all rally around.
It was that last part that where he ran into some trouble. While asking the fellas if they were down with Carlos Ruiz, he then wanted to know if they were gonna “ride the cooch train.” Of course, he meant to say “Chooch” — as in the Panamanian superstar Chooch Ruiz — but unfortunately, Mike’s little slip of the tongue also happens to be a nickname for a woman’s vagina.
tee-hee!

Congratulations to the two Phillies fans who got on television last night for their gestures at Manny Ramirez after he struck out in the eighth inning last night. Amazing that the guy giving the middle finger is the calmer one, as the other man appears to be pretending to shoot Man-Ram with a gun made from his hand. (Thanks to Art from Foobooz for noticing this.)
Let’s do this bulletpoint-style, once again:
• Another crowd shot I tremendously enjoyed from last night’s game: The woman with the “I (Heart) Ron Darling and TBS” sign. This is the natural extension of the acrostics spelling out TBS (which are usually pretty bad), and I have to give her credit for at least going all out on it. Really? You love Ron Darling and TBS? Big fan off Bill Engvall, George Lopez, avocados, Tyler Perry and Law & Order: SVU old episodes of Seinfeld? Okay, whatever you say.
• Tommy Lasorda’s predictions of a comeback on his Twitter now seem much less likely. I don’t have any new updates on Tommy Lasorda flip-flopping his choice of touristy cheesesteak haunt today, but it’s fun to get in another dig at the guy.
• Oh, yeah. Some dude also apparently bought a Shane Victorino World Baseball Classic jersey. I hope he got that one at the bargain bin at Modell’s.
• In case you needed it, here’s the audio of Ryan Howard cursing live on TV after the Phillies won last night.
