They’ll be using those white towels to wipe the egg off their face before the series is through.

My guess is that Brad Lidge is still in the fetal position on the shower floor of the locker room.

It aint over till its over. Now to the inky, theres a bunch of idiots running that paper. Even if the Phillies blow it tonight, they have nothing to hang their heads over. They gave us a great season.

I gave Phillies props when the World Series began. You can’t be playing tonite if you don’t have what it takes. They have a title to defend and it’s a testimony that they were able to be here tonite.

I don’t hate the opponents....I just like to watch the tight series/games.

Kudos to your Phillies.....

Actually, showing the logo printed on this shirt prior to the end of the World Series is a copyright violation. Not that it’ll ever be used...way to go National Inquirer.
