Phillies Phan Phor LIPHE!

Ok... so whether or not the title is grammatically correct, you get my point. Troy is a die-hard Phillies fan now. He has a Phillies Titleist ball cap, and the link to their website on his Blackberry. We watch them on TV when they are playing... it's worse than I could have thought. I didn't want to become a regional fan of any team in the area, but Troy has done it. He uses the excuse that we must do as the locals do to survive, but I really think that he's been kidnapped by the shiny stadium, crazy fans, and overall glitz and glamour of the Philadelphia Phillies.

We went to the game on August 20. It was the night that Southwest presents the "Phan of the Month" to one lucky Phillies fan. Troy was able to present the winner with a certificate and two round-trip tickets on SWA. He was on the field doing the presentation when the Phanatic came out on his four-wheeler. He came up to Troy and the lucky fan, and had a little fun. Troy got a big kiss (on the lips) from the Phanatic. He acted like he didn't like it, but he sure did talk about it quite a bit... hmmmm.

It was Chase Utley bobble head night, so we got a bobble head, and sat in the Phillies Suite for the game. It is the first suite as you enter the second level concourse from left field, and it has a really good view. I liked being up there, but I really like the seats that SWA has behind the first base dugout better. You feel like you're a part of the action when you are only 13 rows up from the field.

Anyway... we had a great time, and there are a few pictures in the post from the night. View "Our Picasa Photo Journal" for more... I'll end this one with...

GO PHILLIES!
