And it was a blast! (this pic is for all of you who email me and ask– “Did you husband REALLY tattoo your initials on his wedding finger)
Kirt and I biked down there, and ran into a MILLION people I knew… even some local media friends, like Erin O’Hearn from Channel 6. She was working, but her husband Sal was visiting her at the live truck, so it was great to see her, and plenty of others from the various local stations.
A special shout out to “Phil” who was working security, he was awesome, and it was great to meet him.
I had Kirt snap some dorky pictures of me while we were taking in all the action around the park, chatting with tailgaters and those lucky enough to get tickets to the game.
Also- I’ll be broadcasting live for the 5pm tomorrow from Citizens’ Bank Park, so check it out! I can’t wait.. the crowd is BEYOND fired up.
Who’s in for a little blogging later on? I’ll be on late, but that’s the part that matters anyway, right?

mace 10.26.08 at 7:46 pm
Isn’t that tag SEXUAL HARRASSMENT?LOL
Joe 10.26.08 at 7:48 pm
About time a call went the Phillies way with the umps.
mace 10.26.08 at 7:48 pm
WOW they want to GIVE us a run!
JT 10.26.08 at 7:48 pm
Hi, Mace. I fell asleep watching last night’s game.
mace 10.26.08 at 7:49 pm
And they DID!
JT 10.26.08 at 7:50 pm
Sonkerstein got it right this time.
mace 10.26.08 at 7:51 pm
It was a HEART pounder, for once it seemed a close game went Phillies way.
JT 10.26.08 at 7:52 pm
Kirt and I biked down there, and ran into a MILLION people I knew… even some local media friends, like Erin O’Hearn from Channel 6.
So, when you meet someone from another station, do you like, SNEER at them ?
bobm 10.26.08 at 7:53 pm
Sir Dewey the First!! Dewey the lionhearted.
mace 10.26.08 at 8:18 pm
I look forward to the day when I “RUN INTO” Erin O’Hearn.
mace 10.26.08 at 8:20 pm
Yes Howard is starting to HIT!
mace 10.26.08 at 8:31 pm
TB must have ate Buttered Popcorn before the game. They can’t seem to hold on to the ball! Which is good for the Phils!

Whats a paper?
mace 10.26.08 at 9:27 pm
No commentariosoyesisawthattoo!
mace 10.26.08 at 9:28 pm
Must have been some Halloween PARTY!
mace 10.26.08 at 9:29 pm
All in good fun!
mace 10.26.08 at 9:31 pm
C’mon Howard, Three more innings and it’s CHEESE-STEAK Heaven for you Big guy!
mace 10.26.08 at 9:38 pm
Four Family size Cheese-steaks for my good friend Mr. Howard…oh,and one small diet Coke.
mace 10.26.08 at 9:47 pm
The Rays should be happy to be in the playoffs,much less the WORLD SERIES! The Phillies gotta win the WORLD SERIES! Anything less would be…unacceptable. I wasn’t feelin’ the 93 Phillies, I really see and feel something special about this team.
Joe 10.26.08 at 9:56 pm
Mace I agree when one person slumps there is always another there to pick them up. The thing I like most is there not getting big heads over this and they know the job has to be finished.
mace 10.26.08 at 10:07 pm
Very true Joe! TEAM work! They play team-ball. And they have of course your homerun guy, stolen base guy, ace pitchers,etc. And Like you said Joe, EGO’S stay in the dug-out and NOT on the field.
Kerri-Lee 10.26.08 at 10:12 pm
Hi everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was biking around South Philly after dinner and WOW. People are going nuts… this is awesome! So great for our city!!! GO PHILS. Hang in there guys, what a wild ride
mace 10.26.08 at 10:13 pm
Philadelphia,one of the GREATEST Cities in the World deserves a Champion!The Phillies are close to that reality!
Kerri-Lee 10.26.08 at 10:14 pm
I cannot wait to do live coverage at the bank tomorrow night. It is going to be crazy (not to be confused with blogger “Crazy”)
mace 10.26.08 at 10:15 pm
Wow KL, you need to let me in on your Multi-vitamin brand!
Kerri-Lee 10.26.08 at 10:16 pm
Mace– you said it. WE DESERVE THIS and the city can taste it, we’re so close. (Kinda tastes like a mango Rita’s water ice)
mace 10.26.08 at 10:17 pm
Well it is good to have you finish the game with us.
Kerri-Lee 10.26.08 at 10:18 pm
BTW– I asked Kirt about the sideways newspaper reading thing.. he said he remembers there being a reason he was doing that, but can’t remember what it was.
Kerri-Lee 10.26.08 at 10:18 pm
See why I love him?
mace 10.26.08 at 10:18 pm
Yeah the city goes through alot from year to year,we need this.
Kerri-Lee 10.26.08 at 10:19 pm
He’s now recalling the incident– he had the menu infront of the paper, and was ordering, while holding both, then went back to reading the newspaper after he put the menu down.
mace 10.26.08 at 10:19 pm
Tampa can wait,they can goe FISHIN’ ALL year if they want!lol
mace 10.26.08 at 10:19 pm
OOOOOOHHHHH YEAAHHHHHh!
Kerri-Lee 10.26.08 at 10:20 pm
I am in shock, I am so proud!
mace 10.26.08 at 10:21 pm
I saw the paper, and it DOES look like a menu behind it,part of being famous,people notice EVERYTHING.
Kerri-Lee 10.26.08 at 10:22 pm
Look at the black tape and gold corner around the newspaper– that is the menu
I just figured it out too…
mace 10.26.08 at 10:25 pm
Of course it is!
Joe 10.26.08 at 10:26 pm
The Phillies have impressed me in many ways these last few weeks as they grew as a team. Not a single selfish player on the team. The guys in the bullpen come in regardless if its to throw one pitch or throw 2 innings. Its nice to see a winning team in Philly once again. Nice night by the big man Mr. Subway. as well.
mace 10.26.08 at 10:28 pm
Take it easy,He is a handsome fellow,and I’m sure very bright,of course great taste with you. He has got to get used to the cameras,that’s all.
mace 10.26.08 at 10:29 pm
Mr. SUBWAY!!!LOL!
Joe 10.26.08 at 10:30 pm
One thing does concern me though is that Cole is starting tomorrow. Cole has never started this early (he only pitches on Wednesday’s) but if he comes out like he has been its lights out and the trophy stays here and we party all night long.
mace 10.26.08 at 10:30 pm
Extra Cheese please, I just hit two homers and I am STARVED!
Joe 10.26.08 at 10:32 pm
If he (Mr. Subway) does the same thing tomorrow night then he can eat anything he wants in Philly.
mace 10.26.08 at 10:40 pm
KL,one time I played my Drums, at the time I had long hair with braids. I added another two inches(extentions)to add length and scenery as I played. Thank GOD there wasn’t a camera on me after I performed. I played sooooo hard and shook my head soooo much,that when I packed my kit up to leave,I saw at least ten braid extensions laying on the floor!True story,lol
mace 10.26.08 at 10:41 pm
Yessss!Phils! ONE MORE!!!
mace 10.26.08 at 10:42 pm
I only kid Howard, the young man is AWESOME!
mace 10.26.08 at 10:44 pm
Howard can see when it’s a home run,he doesn’t even try to run,he just looks,cause he felt it already!
mace 10.26.08 at 10:44 pm
Great pitching again!
mace 10.26.08 at 10:49 pm
Great Win,have a great night,and great work-week! KL,take care,KM,watch out for those cameras,take great care!
Simon H. 10.26.08 at 10:56 pm
One win away and we got Cole Hamels on the mound tomorrow . Phillies to win in 5 !
