I have four sisters, and I love each and every one of them. That being said, Becca is my favorite today. She’s down in Clearwater this weekend to get an early Phillies fix. I asked her if she could get me a box of Turkey Hill ice cream autographed by Carlos Ruiz, but she did me one better – a copy of Wheeler’s View from the Booth: Four Decades with the Phillies, personally signed by the man himself along with this ringing endorsement:

Tug

The Fightins is a great site. Good job. Thanks for being a Phillies fan.

Best Wishes

So thanks again Beck, and thank you, Muffins, for being such a good sport. Keep on rockin’ around the COCK.

The highlight of the Phils’ first Spring Training game today, other than Doc Halladay completely pwning Yankee ass, would be this graphic shown during the ridiculously boring middle innings today.

From the looks of this wonderful comparison of two aces in action, it looks like baseball is going to be fucking awesome on CSN (or Xfinity SportsNet at some point during the regular season) once again. I actually really enjoyed the Doc, Forehead, and Kendrick interviews from the booth boys today. The radio boys seem to be in mid-season form as well.

Look who made his first television appearance of the Spring yesterday evening –

CHRIS WHEELER, EVERYBODY!

Looking pretty dang sharp in his kick-ass leather jacket (surely for his motorcycle), readjusted hairpiece, Penn State sweatshirt (DYK his cat’s name is Nittany? Of course you did), and invisible eyebrows, Muffin showed up on Daily News Live to drop some knowledge on the viewing audience and look good doing it.

I’ll bet you Chris has to beat those vixens from the local retirement community off with a stick!

A little off-season ball-busting:

History lessons:

Chris Wheeler Loves the Bill Haley Classic, “Rock Around the Cock” | June 23, 2009
Are Y’all Ready For The Remix? | June 25, 2009

When the Phillies first stepped foot in the locker room to begin their 2009 NL East Division Champion celebration, the first interviewer on the scene was none other than Phillies color man and Penn State alum, good ol’ muffin himself, Chris Wheeler.

T-Mac & the Sarge threw it down to Wheels, and he was standing by with Ryan Howard all set for a champagne-soaked interview. With all the commotion going on, Howard seemed less interested in giving an interview and more concerned with making pornographic references to his bottle. So he popped the cork, and with the bubbly flying everywhere, in his creepiest voice, proclaimed:

“Wear it. Wear it. Suck on it.”

Now see for yourself, along with the girl-ish yelp of Chris Wheeler while being doused with Domaine Ste. Michelle.

On Monday’s edition of the Howard Stern show on XM Radio Stern and his gang were playing some clips of people in the media messing up words such as a reporter saying orgasm instead of organism and a Fox reporter saying cock instead of clock, which leads us to our loveable broadcasting duo of Wheels and T-Mac. We all remember on Retro Night in Tampa Bay, Wheels just couldn’t hold in his excitement for the Bill Haley “classic” being played in the stadium and ended up blurting out this gem. Stern audio clip enhanced with images ATJ…

“When did these telecasts turn into a clown act?”

That’s what I’d like to know, Chris.

And that should just about wrap-up Broadcaster’s Appreciation Day here on The Fightins.

Thanks for joining us.

While the FOX team completely fucked up handled the announcing duties for Saturday’s matinee vs the Mets, one of the Phillies usual broadcasters, Chris Wheeler, was busy lending his services to Highland Park Fire Company’s annual Independence Day Parade.  Not only that, but Muffin was actually the Grand Marshal of said parade.   It’s quite the honor for the Marple Newtown High School alumnus, and he surely didn’t disappoint the thousands of rabid Marple Newtown residents who were said to have camped out the night before just so they can secure a spot where they could catch a good glimpse of the WFC color man as he passed by.

Show ‘em who’s World Effin Champs, Muffin:

Yesterday before the game started T-Mac was doing his usual “Here comes the game” coverage, but on this day Sarge stole the show. Stumbling while chowing down on some ribs at Bull’s BBQ, Sarge dropped his half eaten rib right in Wheeler’s lap destroying what used to be a perfectly good pair of khaki pants. From what we heard later on Sarge recovered said rib off Wheeler’s lap and ate it anyway.

ATJ, take notice of the wonderful young fellow in the background in the Fightins x Birdland UTS WFC shirt.

It used to be, if you said ‘cock’ on television, you only had to worry about the FCC and heavy fines.

Now you have to worry about that and young men with computers and spare time.

Cheers, Muffin.
