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.

After the Atlanta Braves put up a 9-spot in the 4th inning against Hollywood Hamels, things looked bleak for the Phillies. And then, just one inning later, their bats came alive. Following RBI’s by Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell, Chris Coste made it a 2-run game with a cue shot off the end of his bat down the right-field line. That put runners at the corners with 2 outs for the best pinch-hitter in all the land, Greg Dobbs.

I’ll let Harry Kalas, in his first game back since eye surgery, take it from here:

The man is infallible.

When he’s not terrorizing NL pitching or sculpting that Top 25 physique of his, you can find Chase Utley conducting benefits with his wife Jennifer for the Pennsylvania SPCA. Such was the case yesterday, when the NL home run leader got a rare night off.

And if Chase doesn’t rest, neither do his teammates.

A number of Phillies, including Jimmy Rollins, Cole Hamels, Greg Dobbs and Brett Myers joined Chase for his first ever “Utley All-Star Animals Casino Night” benefit held at a club in downtown Philadelphia.

See for yourself. That is, if RedLasso doesn’t crap out on you (casino pun!):
