-The winner at the box office this week was Ghost Rider, a Nicholas Cage movie that looks, quite honestly, like it could be the worst film ever made. Last week’s winner was Norbit, which looks, quite honestly, like it could be the worst film ever made. Next week number one at the box office is expected to be Judge Dredd 2: Dredd Vs. Wapner.
-Remember when you were a kid, and your mom had a rough couple of weeks, so she bolted out of rehab and shaved her head bald and got tattoos all over the back of her neck? Of course you do. So why make a fuss when Britney does it? The amazing thing is that she’s going to lose the custody battle to Kevin “Playing With Fire” Federline, which is kind of like losing a hockey game to the Flyers: almost impossible to do unless you are trying.
-Philly sucks at recycling. Somebody has a plan with proven results. John Street doesn’t have time to hear it.
-I meant to post this last week but didn’t. It’s Bill Conlin’s look at what he thinks the Phillies batting order should be. He drops Rollins in the lineup to protect Howard, which is a great idea. I love Jelly Roll, but I hate having a leadoff hitter with a OBP that isn’t much higher than his BA. Holy cow, it’s mid February and we’re already talking baseball. This is awesome.
