I know Vaughan is probably not going to like this, but I'm finally going to give the Phillies credit. You know, since I didn't pick them to win the NLCS or even the World Series. You know the old saying "Never under estimate the heart of a champion!"? (I think it was a Jimmy V. line) Well, it couldn't be more true.
Chase Utley has pretty much willed the Phillies back into the Series and pushed things back to Yankees Stadium with a record five home runs in a World Series. In fact, the seven home runs in World Series play are the most all-time for a second baseman. Yeah, this kid is good.
Leads to the question: Can Chase Utley win the World Series MVP even if the Phillies don't win?
You know, it's a valid argument. Only once has a player on the losing team won the Super Bowl MVP honor, one in NBA Finals history and just five in Stanley Cup playoffs history (maybe a little easier since it's not just the finals).
Hey, if the Phillies can get this thing to Game 7, anything can happen and if he stays hot he can realistically further this record.
He's one of the "Good Guys" in the game. Plus, how can we forget what he gave us last year after winning the World Series? If the BFF wasn't emotionally invested as Yankees fan, I'd pay to find out what is going to happen at this year's parade! (The good stuff comes around 40 seconds in)
My call is this: It's Pettitte against Pedro in Game 6 and Andy is on three-days rest. Doesn't bode well for the Yanks. But can we expect more "vintage" Pedro like we got in Game 2? I say no. The Yanks clinch Wednesday night. Vaughan, be sure to have your furniture covered in plastic and the champagne on ice throughout the day, buddy! Could be a fun night!
Moving on to some other viral goodness. Here's the video I found on today's Hot Clicks on SI.com. A lot of people wondering if this is real or fake. What do you think?
It is Tuesday, which has become the usual day for me to make mention of one of my favorite shows, How I Met Your Mother. The show has put out a book already, "The Bro Code" and pushed it as written by Barney Stinson. They have come out with the next book in the series, "Bro on the Go" Check it here. First, though, here's a look at "The Bro Code." So funny!
Before we got on to the Nussie Hunter portion of the broadcast, shoutouts have become something of a bragging point among my friends and after a day of bowling at West Allis Lanes with the fine folks that help with Milwaukee Public Schools Adaptive Athletics, I figure they deserve one. Had a ball today with Annie McGinnity and the gang. Even though Susie beat me in both games, by a combined three pins. I'm gracious in defeat to friends, so good work!
Alright, now to everyone's favorite part of the show, the Nussie Hunter segment! Mark it on your calendars and send someone to double-check the space-time continuum because we have a country music chick on here in back-to-back days. Carrie Underwood has been lighting the world on fire since after she won American Idol a couple years back. Her new album dropped today and is available on iTunes (I'm sucking up to make it better for the both of us!). Now the pay off (since I don't really care if she sells 1 album or 1 million albums) as you, me and the next guy are "Reaping all the benefits..." And the best part.... It's AJ approved. Haha.
love it!!!! Look at those legs!!!!
