The purpose of this exclusive The Fightins dot com feature is to foster a rivalry between the Phillies beat writers by keeping a running tally of who scoops who on Twitter and turn it into a year-long dick joke. You can play along by reading their tweets in this convenient list.

Their scores as of March 1, 2010:

Matt Gelb (@magelb) 16 points
Todd Zolecki (@ToddZolecki) 13 points
Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyCSN) 11 points
Scott Lauber (@ScottLauber) 11 points
David Murphy (@HighCheese) 9 points
Ryan Lawrence (@ryanlawrence21) 7 points
Andy Martino (@phillieszone) 6 points
John Finger (@jrfinger) 4.5 points

It’s official. Now the points are going to start adding up pretty fast. Martino has returned, and I’ve added Matt Gelb to the fray, since he filled in so well for Andy. Next week, expect to see Mandy Housenick and Ryan Lawrence. And don’t forget to check the list, these folks are tweeting their asses off.

By the way, I’ve fallen deeply in love with the game known as Curling, and I don’t care who knows it. And the Doc likes it too, so you can eat me before you judge me, you dickhole.
