A guy in France got his arm trapped in a train toilet when he tried to fish his phone out of it: The man was carried away by emergency services, with the toilet still attached to his arm. “He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off,” said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man’s plight.
Probably a Rays fan.
Ok, this is a good one: This 1980 Phillie played in the 1982 Series for the Cardinals, the 1985 Series for the Royals, and the ’91 and ’92 Series for the Braves. Who is he?
*whose interior looks eerily like the Black Sheep.
The last Phillie to win a Cy Young did so in 1987. Who was he?
This Phillie won the MVP in 1932 and the Triple Crown in 1933.
Wow, by some miracle I actually made it to Games 3 and 4. They were both incredible, though Game 3 might have been a biot more memorable because it was such an incredible game. Man, I am so exhausted. I feel like I played in those games. Details forthcoming. In the meantime, I’ll get to posting pics of last weeks winners in just a few. Beneath them will be questions about the Phillies. One guess per person.
Just wanted you to know that I’m not the only one around here counting down the minutes to Game 3. I might be liveblogging it. I’ll let you know. In the meantime, think you might enjoy this faux conversation between Mike Schmidt and his wife.

LOCUST RENDEZVOUS
GOOD DOG
Only four quizzes this week, thanks to that damn baseball team and their “Earthwide Competition”. Another blowout at the Good Dog, but classics at both the Bards and the Vous. Gotta give the Bards game of the week status, though. Sexually Attracted to Fire eeked out a 111-109 win over the Sofa Kingdom, as the Kingdom got the first 38 questions correct, but missed the last two to allow the Fire to cool them off. There were also a couple of Kingdom members on the Western Omelette team that fell to pieces late at the Vous on Wednesday, missing three of the final four questions to fall to Duane’s World 101-97. The choke was on the Kingdom this week.
My apologies to the people I sent “Rays in Five” texts to last night. But this RISP situation is causing me to lose my mind. Also doing that was the buffoon who was umpiring last night. Way to come up small in the big game, you clown. Thing is, even with their lack of clutch hitting and the umpire conspiring against them, the Phils coulda won that game. Myers was solid if not spectacular. He gave up 3 earned runs, which would have been 2 if it wasn’t for the joker calling balls and strikes. Jayson Werth’s error was huge. But in the end, we come out of Tampa exactly the way we wanted to: tied 1-1. And keep in mind, these hitters have never seen Jamie Moyer. And how exciting is it that a 46 year old is getting ready to pitch his first World Series game? After the sloppiness of the first two games, I expect a classic in Game 3. But keep in mind, I am always wrong about everything when it comes to this team (thus no hesitation to send a “Rays in 5” text message), so don’t take that one to the bank. Also, good news. I did not wear my lucky shirt last night, so it was no surprise that they lost. I will be wearing it tomorrow night. So rest easy.
