When our Fightin’ Phils were in the playoffs last year, a new superstar fan emerged from the pack to make everyone feel at ease about our chances of winning the World Series.

That man was Monty G.

The morning after that dreaded Game 5a of the World Series, when an entire city felt a bit uneasy about the way things were unfolding, a female reporter from 6abc just happened to be roaming the streets looking for someone — ANYONE — who could bring some positivity to Philly.  Preferably with a little freestyle rap and some bird noises.  Then, voila.  Monty G came to the rescue.

Well yesterday afternoon, Monty G returned.  And this time, he came equipped with a Phillies-themed afro and a brand new airbrushed t-shirt.  The Phillie Phanatic, obviously aware of Monty and his exploits, pulled him up on the dugout steps and electrified a sold-out Bank with their breathtaking dance moves and large bellies.

I was afraid that this moment would pass without anyone documenting it, but thankfully @Harpo42 and her trusty Canon EOS captured it beautifully.

And now, without further adieu, ladies and gents put your hand together for — MONTY GEE!

There seems to be a horde of Philadelphians who have been extremely angry the past day and a half.

Well, let me rephrase — more angry than usual.

I guess it’s understandable, but if you ask me, we’re still in a pretty damn good position. Just think — being that the game will start from the bottom of the sixth inning tonight, it means we don’t have to celebrate on a weekday at one o’clock in the morning. We can start earlier! Get drunkerer! Flip more cars! And it won’t be in the middle of a monsoon!

Yes, Bud Selig is an incompetent moron. But I ain’t gonna let that curmudgeon kill my high. So wipe that fucking scowl off your face and get ready for some Game 5½ action.

I know one person who is DEFINITELY ready. The man who is the subject of the most incredible interview segment in the history of local news. South Philly’s own — the one, the only, MONTY GEE!

I dare you to disagree:

You hear that? We’re winning the World Series. Not only are we winning, but we’re also taking it “to the top, to the top, to the top.” Seriously, if you can’t trust a guy with an old school gold-on-onyx name plate, who can you trust?
