After a bomb scare at the Philadelphia Phillies' ballpark, authorities pointed the finger at a fuzzy green suspect -- The Phillie Phanatic.
Hours before the Phillies-Atlanta Braves' game on Wednesday night, a film crew shot a commercial of the mascot shooting heavily wrapped hot dogs from a launcher.
But someone inadvertently left three of the duct taped hot dogs outside the ballpark, sparking security fears. Stadium employees were evacuated and the bomb squad was called in.
Only after the packages were blown up did authorities realize they'd just exploded some sausages.
"We saw something that looked suspicious," said Michael Stiles, Phillies senior vice president, administration and operations. "We did the right thing. It turned out to be nothing. We could have gone over and picked it up and thrown it in the trash and been done with it. But if we had been wrong, somebody might have lost an arm."
After the detonation, the game went on as scheduled.
"I'd rather them blow up some hot dogs or some ketchup and mustard and relish than have it be a real bomb," reliever Chad Durbin said. "Better safe than sorry."

Oh, I can't wait for about 5 years down the road for this to turn into the next snow ball beating of Santa..."You fans are terrible...you even tried to blow up your own mascot!"

Speaking of which, how much do you wanna bet ESPN has a huge feature on the Santa Clause incident this year?
I think it's no coincidence that the NFL scheduled the Eagles to be home this year on the 40th anniversary of the incident on Monday, December 15th against the Browns.

Isn't the Dallas game around X-mas also.
Odds for stereotypical Philly stuff shown on national TV....
1-2: Cheesesteaks being made at Geno/Pat's or sporting venue will be shown going/coming to/from commercial.
2-1: Rocky statue/music will be shown/played
3-1: Reference to how long it's been without a championship
4-1: Santa pelting incident (you said it, man - 40 fucking years!!)
8-1: Reference to the jail cell that was in the Vet
Ohh there's a new douche bag walking around with shit on him now..See em yet?...He wears the helmet with the tinted visor and rubber eagles heads on his shoulders....The pathetic thing is this dude's in his 20's...At least Birdman is in his 40's/50's and has nothing to look forward to....This new douche is terrible...and then there's that dude Sean who's on WIP a lot(guy who paints his face, wears the doo rag and shoulder pads) - I fucking HATE that guy.....Interesting, and humorous thing is that he picks up my buddy's garbage...He's one of those douches that went up to New York to boo the drafting of McNabb instead of Ricky Williams...morons I tell ya.
