    Thats sweet. I am always a happy guy when I am out on business dinners and we do the tasting menu. Life is certainly good.

    checking out new restaurants is one of my favorite things to do with the wife. philly has so many good restaurants.

    Yeah, man. Philly has very under rated food. There is a new spot, Revolution House that was the old diner at the corner of 2nd and Market. Looks like it has a pretty awesome rooftop. Plan on hitting that this weekend, not expecting too much out of the food but looks like a great atmosphere for the early evening.

    Johnny, if you get there in time for the lunch menu, get the tuna tacos. Cliff, are they still on the menu? Every time after a Sunday game we'd get there at like 5:02 and they'd be like, "Sorry, lunch menu ended at 5." And they NEVER made an exception. Bastards.

    Tuna tacos kick fucking ass. Honestly, I can't think if they are still on the menu. I am blanking out, haven't had them in a while. They really push their brunch menu when I am there around that time, usually the weekends.

    This is Lee's 5th start vs an AL team since last October. How 'bout these totals: 40 IP, 20 H, 2 R, 48 K.

    Awesome performance by Clifford

    On a related/unrelated note - anybody see the CWS game last night. That catcher for SC is pretty damn good. Just tuned into tonight's game.

    bits and pieces of it. this guy jackie bradley jr is the guy I wanted the phils to take in round 1. boston took him the pick after the phils first pick.

    that was a seed

    They gotta find a new place for this thing - I mean it looks cool to go to, but I cannot for the life of me ever feel inclined to go to fucking Omaha.

    if the phils don't make the ws with this pitching staff they should shoot themselves

    Not even on my radar. ANY team that makes the playoffs can make/win the WS. So I'm not even thinking about it right now. I just care about MAKING the playoffs with a healthy roster and a decent 5 hole hitter.

    the confident attitude comes with winning ;)

    its never easy...but you know when your team has the goods to make it..which the phils do

    no team breezes thru ,but in the end you know any other nl team cant win 4 out of 7 from you

    Yeah, but I can't even think of what's going to happen 3-4 months from now. Like I said, anyone can win this thing, or get there for that matter. Your boys spent a shit load in '08 and didn't even make it to the playoffs while somehow we won a WS with a rotation that doesn't even come close to the one we have today. My point is you spend money to win 100 games, get into the playoffs, win awards, etc. But I'm convinced ANY team that gets into the playoffs can win it. And this is also why I love(hate) MLB playoffs. And, it's also why I drink 10x more than I do during any other playoffs in any other sport and it's not even close. I swear I'm going to have a stroke or die from liver failure one of these years.

    look on the bright side...if your liver gives out, that means the phils will have continued to make the playoffs.
