In case your were under a rock last night - THE PHILLIES WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!

They were like the olde-time postman: braving rain, sleet, snow and Bud Selig to eke it out in the end. The Rays put up a great fight and they did not go quietly, but the Phils were having none of it. We have to admit, the suspended game was surreal - no anthem, no player introductions - just dropping us straight into the bottom of the 6th to finish the game.

More to follow after the parade…The Girls are very happy. It’s party time.

Now, onto the podcast. Because of the raging excitement in Philadelphia, apparently PECO energy was also partying during the hours before and after the game. As a result, our podcast will be up this evening sometime…preview below.

UPDATE The Girls, with the help of Jay-to-the-Jizzle, have finally extracted the podcast from the belly of the PECO beast. That would be Philadelphia Electric. All the energy of these world champion fans has taxed the grid, but the power is back, the sun is shining and The Girls are heading down to the parade…with a body guard, of course. Not be cause of the crowds, but because we so totally jealous of those with entourages.

Please don’t forget to vote daily for the Fantoo Girls in the Best Sports Podcast category. Today’s parade is just a rehearsal! We’ve got our tiaras polished! Thank you in advance for your support!

Episode 139

Historic Rain Delays, Excellent Adventures and Pops Oden Goes Down with The Girls!

Today The Girls are coming to you live from Uncle Bud’s Excellent Adventure where storms send him fleeing to his home (Or is it the Philadelphia fans?), drink in hand, along with a freshly printed copy of the Major League Baseball Rules, to ride out the unprecedented World Series suspension. Cuz that’s what you do when you continually make bad decisions. You run, you drink, and you rely on printed matter to speak for you. Bud Selig should be in politics. He’s be right at home there. But the World Series will go on and without interference from Mother Nature, we hope.

After ripping Selig, at which we have become experts, we high tail it over to the Portland Trailblazers where one trail has yet to be trodden upon. Yes, Pops Oden has done it again. It’s a shame that his NBA career has been mired so, as The Girls think he is just the type of guy the league needs. Only the league needs him after he matures in college. Or at least plays one full season in college. The rush to get him in the spotlight may mean that his final curtain call is sooner than we had hoped. Heal up, big guy! But first, quick, what’s your birthday?

Can you tell the difference between a teen girl and a 47 year old man? Most people can, which makes Isaiah Thomas’ lie about his daughter being the one that needed medical attention so ridiculous. And a very serious sign that this man is a nut case. Meanwhile the Knicks are happily toiling away under the direction of the speed game mastermind, Mike D’Antoni. Well, not everyone is happy. See, some players dislike the media, but what they really hate is when a member of the media knows something about them, like, say, the fact that someone who expects to be in the starting lineup isn’t, before the coach has told the player. Ouch. That burns. But it’s also a real turnaround from last year when the Knicks organization treated the NY media like they were one massive staph infection. BTW, with staph infections on the rise everywhere, we at Fantoo can’t help but wonder how the Garden escaped the infestation. We’ve seen that place from the inside. Scary.

Also in this week’s sports podcast, The Girls take a ride over to the world of NASCAR, where we assume Kyle Busch left it all out on the track, about 20 races too soon. Perhaps he should curtail the race-every-day routine in favor for focusing on the Chase, which is where the hardware is won. So Jimmy Johnson wraps it up…with three races to go…YAY! SO exciting!

Quick, get ye to Amazon where you can order up what is sure to be an Oprah book selection, penned by that illustrious literary mistress, or pole dancer, Crystal Magnum. Her tell-all details the night of the non-assault at an off-campus house at Duke University. We just want to know who would actually put down coin for that. Actually, we don’t. We just think the title’s funny: “The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Magnum Story”. Grace? How ’bout “The Last Chance At Cash”? Nice ring.

Tom Brady has a staph infection, Peyton Manning had one…that’s it…we’re going as staph infections for Halloween. The Girls salute Anquan Boldin for putting the past behind him and pulling in 2 touchdowns in the Cardinals V. Panthers game. Takes some guts (and some nuts) to walk the line again. Also on the gridiron… Kerry Collins! 7-0! Beat the Colts! Again, Kerry Collins! We need say no more. Just a shake of the head and a shrug of the shoulders is all that conversation needs.

Below, the NFL’s only undefeated QB…Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Kerry Collins!!

So, you thought steroids were bad? They’ve got nothing on water pills! Yes, you heard us correctly. In a sport where hydration is key, some players who must have waiting in the closet a slim couture suit in which to fit their mammoth bodies, have been busted for taking water pills. We’ve seen Deuce McAllister, and he needs water pills like Lindsay Lohan needs to go on a bender. Silly us, we thought it was important to remain hydrated when playing football. We dumb. But we’re not dumb enough to
believe that there isn’t more to this story than a desire to shed a few pounds.

And in this week’s IT HAS TO BE SAID, the UK wants your digits. But only for a little while. Um, right… So grab your pots and pans, a wooden spoon and a rally towel…it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
