Here’s the in-booth shot of the final call of the 2008 World Series by Harry Kalas. It’s a shame, you definitely won’t be listening to Harry here. Chris Wheeler is going KA-RAZY!

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?

(MAJOR shout-out to ‘Duk from BLS for the heads up. Clip from 6abc)

Last night’s Game 3 sure wasn’t pretty, but if you’re a Phillies fan — it was the most beautifullest game in the world.

Around 6:30, I got a call from my buddy.  “Yo man, I hope you don’t have any plans for tonight.”  I told him I was just about to head to my local watering hole to watch the Phils.  “Well, would you rather go to the game?  You just gotta pick me up,” he said.

“I’m already in my car, maing.”

Little did I know, the ticket would not only be free, but it was right the fuck behind home plate:

Actually, if you wanna get technical, our seats were in Row 1 of Section 224.  Hall of Fame Club, directly behind home plate.  But my friend’s brother-in-law wanted to swap seats with us in the 3rd inning, and we were happy to oblige.

The Phillies have been mostly quiet on the rubber ducky front, but you can’t really blame them. When you’re preparing for Game 1 of the World Series, I would imagine spending half of your time explaining an inside joke to the media could get extremely annoying. Unfortunately, columnists, local news stations, and even lowly bloggers need material; so CBS 3 came to the rescue with this segment from last night:

¡Viva La Duckies!

*Recorded last night at the Trocadero in Philly…*

Okay, maybe Amon Amarth’s Johan Hegg saying “[I don't know much about baseball,but]I hear the Phillies are in the World Series. I hope you guys win that motherfucker” was just a ‘[insert town] has the best fans in the world’ kinda statement.

But fuck that.

Amon Amarth is the best band on the planet (sorry, Satyricon). The ‘Tard has 2* passions, epic Viking metal and the Phillies, and the man-beast that is named Johan just combined them both. I almost creamed my pants, shit my pants, and cried simultaneously when he said that (yes, that is my shitty $70 camera recording that!). You’d cry too, brah. No one commands a stage like Johan Hegg. He’s like the Tom Brady of stage commanding, except he’s not a fuckin’ pussy.

That moment just put a cherry topping on a turd of a weekend for the ‘Tard.

Just remember one thing.

From TMZ — your #1 source for shirtless Matthew McConaughey pics! — comes this completely embarrassing video of a couple asshole Dodger fans chucking full cups of beer on the LAPD the other night. Now I know Philly gets a bad rep from a few questionable decisions our fans may or may not have made in the past, but this clip from Chavez Ravine fucking blows away any faux pas ever committed here.

Hmmmm, let’s see, throwing snowballs at a 180 lb. intoxicated Santa Claus in 1968, or pummeling cops with beer in 2008…

I can’t decide.

Whoever you are, may your favorite baseball team flourish in the World Series.)

After the jump, video of another asshole Dodgers fan — but for a completely different reason…

Sorry, readers, I apologize for not being my usual video-ripping self and getting the Leslie Gudel post game interview with Shane Victorino where he dropped a “No Questions Asked” when she asked him if they could win the World Series. I did, however, get this one from the ABC Action News. You’ll have to wait until the end for everybody’s favorite catch phrase, but it’s definitely worth it:

Oh, and I understand the demand is high for some No Questions Asked memorabilia. Jussoyaknow — I’m working on it. In the mean time, if you have your own recommendations, feel free to e-mail them to me. Even if you aren’t artistically inclined to actually design it yourself, describe it and I’ll try and have it finished up shortly.

No. Questions. Asked.

The Phillies charter plane landed at Philadelphia International Airport this morning around 7:30 and they were greeted by a large contingent of fans eager to congratulate the newest National League Champions.

After settling in, the plan is to head straight to Citizens Bank Park where the NL Champion Phillies will hold a presser to talk about beating the Dodgers and more importantly, their next step of hopefully winning the World Series. After the jump, you can watch the video footage of what an NLCS-winning squad looks like coming off a plane with their attractive wives.

Later on, the team will once again board their plane and head down to Virginia to attend the funeral of Charlie Manuel’s mother, June.

Here’s an interview with the Phils’ skip conducted by CSN Philly’s Leslie Gudel after the pennant clinching Game 5 of the NLCS.

Who’s ready for completely random shit that’s thrown together for no apparent reason?

Good. Here we go…

• Chase Utley used to be a violin-playing, parrot-toting kiddie-dork. Obviously, things done changed.

• Here’s the video of a potty-mouthed Greg Dobbs countering a teammates “Yeah!” with a more energized, “Fuck Yeah!!” I’m pretty sure Shane Vic gets in on the nationally televised cussing as well:
