GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!

It's the eternal question: will that wee little lad that sits atop our grand city hall steeple finally be appeased? can we finally break the curse?

For those of you who aren't Phillies fans I would recommend staying quiet this week. It's been too long that we've waited for some sign of victory from any of the four pro teams in this city, that some people might get, umm "upset", if they hear you rootin for the other team.

Make sure to throw the salt over your shoulder and say a few Hail Marys or two as the first game gets underway!

If you aren't glued to your television set for the next week here are a few cool things happening in the City of Brotherly Love.
