Belated congratulations to Dr. Jamie Moyer on his 250th win yesterday.

Moyer & Co. celebrated the occasion by popping a few $300 gold bottles of Armand de Brignac; known on the streets as Ace of Spades, yo.  Salud, Jamie!

Newly awarded Gold Glover and key member of the World F’n Champs playoff run, Shane Victorino, was back in his hometown of Las Vegas this week and organized a bowling party with his friends and family to celebrate his accomplishments. Sophisticated pirate Norm Clarke has the details:

SIGHTINGS!

Outfielder Shane Victorino, a spark plug in the Philadelphia Phillies’ postseason run, hosting a World Series championship party for his family and friends on Sunday in the VIP bowling suite inside Red Rock Lanes at Red Rock Resort. Among his friends joining him was Reed Johnson of the Chicago Cubs. Victorino lives in Las Vegas in the off-season

Reed Johnson? Huh. Whatever, it sounds like a fun time was had by all and I’m just thankful that Shane Victorino made a public appearance without wearing that atrocious Christian Audigier/Ed Hardy gear.

The following video contains two separate clips of newswomen from Philly TV stations getting the customary champagne dousing after the Phillies punched their ticket to the World Series last night. Up first, Jamie Apody is back for her second go-round. This time the Action News reporter gets sprayed from the bottle of Jayson Werth. Next, the lovely Leslie Gudel of Comcast SportsNet fame is drenched by Chase Utley. Observe:

Notice the different styles of saturation used by the two Phillies. Jayson Werth employs an aggressive, “take that!” approach, while Chase goes with the much more subdued slow pour.

Both completely different; both equally as effective.

Brett Myers seems to really be enjoying himself during these clubhouse celebrations.

Although the Phillies were supposedly a bit more low-key in their revelry compared to the NL East clincher, you certainly wouldn’t be able to tell from this clip…

While being interviewed by CBS 3’s Don Bell, Myers popped the top on two cans of Bud Light and gave himself a beer bath ala Stone Cold Steve Austin. The always observant Bell noticed that Myers was pretty good at it, to which Brett replied, “I watch a lot of wrestling.”

Following the Phillies division-clinching victory over the Nationals on Saturday, Philadelphia stations did a rather poor job of covering the post game shenanigans. Honest to God, after FOX went off the air, I had a hard time finding any channel with the exciting Live! footage that you’re accustomed to getting after the game is long over.

Although, just because no one showed anything good, that doesn’t necessarily mean nothing interesting happened. As phan_in_babylon, Clare, and James Beale pointed out in the comments of another post, Pedro Feliz and Chris Coste were riding around the field on police bikes while Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth were practically running people over on a groundskeepers cart.

I couldn’t find the Feliz/Coste video, but here’s Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth on a groundskeepers cart:

Jamie Apody should be quite familiar with the celebrations that go on in the clubhouse after a big win. While in Los Angeles working for KNBC, she covered 2002 Anaheim Angels World Series victory, the Lakers back-to-back-to-back championships, as well as the Mighty Ducks Stanley Cup win. However, it appears as though the current 6abc Action News anchor has never faced the celebratory wrath of Brett Myers and/or Pedro Feliz.

After yesterday’s incredible win, Miss Apody was attempting to get some player interviews, but wound up getting soaking wet from a combination of Myers’ Bud Light and Feliz’s champagne. Her immediate cry of “Not cool!” was completely ignored and after she asked Pedro why he’s wearing googles, he proceeded to pour champagne on her head. While she was struggling to see, he told her, “If you would have them on, you wouldn’t be like that.”

Enjoy the visuals, which aren’t quite as hot as last year’s Champagne Bukkake recipient, Jade McCarthy:
