The Phillies As Your Office Coworkers
Tweet
Kyle Kendrick is the Annoying Guy With No Self-Awareness
“Hey guys you wanna get some lunch...I’m thinking Hooters? Did you watch Three and a Half Men last night? Hilarious! What’s the deal with the new intern? Seems like a dweeb, am I right? Did you see that the recruiter from HR got a boob job? TOTALLY WOULD.” You just want him to shut up and go away, and tell him he’s not your friend, but the rumor is that he’s with the company based on nepotism alone, so you can’t really be direct about how much you hate his face. But as much as you’d never admit it to his big dumb face, he’s totally right about the girl in HR.
Cole Hamels is The Perfect Senior Manager That No One Respects
Literally the best all-around at what he does, Hamels still gets no respect from his peers and superiors despite sustained performance and success. And that’s because of his demeanor. Your company is fairly blue-collar (for a white collar “cubicle farm”) with an old school factory culture that’s tough to crack. There seems to be a larger emphasis on looking like you’re working hard than actually performing well, and for that, Cole suffers. He’s made it to Sr. Manager on guile alone, but it’s possible he’ll never get the big, career-making promotion.

Come for the baby bird saving, stay for the Slip n' Slide. I don't know any better way to put it.
Here's a blank one created by @MisterTug (of Opening Day 2011 Fame) that you can use if you want to make some and send them to me:

This Cat May Or May Not Look Just Like John Kruk
Tweet
One of the Holy Butt tattoo girls tweeted this to me a picture of her cat the other day and it made me die of laughter because:
(a) I'm an idiot
(b) that's a grumpy-looking cat wearing a helmet sundae helmet
(c) she says he looks like John Kruk and I'm not quite sure if that's a joke or the joke or just a funny line, or if maybe altered states of consciousness were at play.
REGARDLESS, look at him! John Kruk Cat (nee "Dozer") MUST become a celebrity:
Naturally, this led to...

So Roy Halladay Talked Long and Hard About His Start The Other Day, 3.23.13 v. Minor League Scrubs
Tweet
Roy pitched against some minor leaguers the other day (Bolg nemesis and fried dough welcher Todd Zolecki has the full deets here) and, besides the fact that he wasn't really on point and his velocity was still hanging low and his pitches didn't move all that much and he was still looking a bit bony from his stomach bug, he did talk--AT LENGTH--about his performance.
Quoth the Roy:
Whoa, is it me or is suddenly hot in here?
Give me a minute, I need to go take this cardigan off and gather my thoughts. I'm not sure what just happened.

| MLB.com/Todd Zolecki |
Quoth the Roy:
"Just working on the consistency on my lower half...
I felt strong and felt like the stamina was there.
I felt like at least I felt a grip that was more comfortable and a release... that was more comfortable
...it was a lot easier to get in same spot consistently.
I feel like physically, I’m ready.
It’s really hard...
...find out where I can and can’t go, what I can and can’t do.
I feel like I can repeat it easier.
I feel like I can repeat it nice and fluid. And it’s coming out of there easy.
The older you get, unfortunately, you don’t always have the ability to go harder, harder, harder.
Change your spots, change your location.
...trying to go as hard as we could, as much as we could
...that’s gonna be important for me during the season — to be able to go hard and soft"
Whoa, is it me or is suddenly hot in here?
Give me a minute, I need to go take this cardigan off and gather my thoughts. I'm not sure what just happened.

ZWR in the Wild
Tweet
Good morning, donkeys! Let's check out some fine folks in fashion-forward ZWR attire. Then, after that, you should probably go get a scone.
James and Nick. No idea which one is which. I assume beardface is Nick. "Hey, Nicky Beardface, run over to Gina's and get some gabagool for the thing tonight! Yeah sure, bring Jimmy Tight Polo wit' you."

ZWR NCAA Tourney: Friday Preview

Hey there, hoopsters, the penguin's here to deliver some hard-hitting analysis on today's tourney games involving our beloved city schools. I hope this FULL-COURT PRESS of insight leads to the perfectly executed BOUNCE PASS of information that allows you to TAKE IT TO THE RIM and SLAM DUNK your hoops fix (be it of the gaming or intellectual variety), leading to the ONE SHINING MOMENT you deserve.

Happy One of the Five Best Days of the Year!
Tweet
I don't have the energy or wherewithal to rank them, but "Thursdsay of the Tournament" is right up there with Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, Opening Day, and my birthday in the Awesomest Times Eleventy rankings. And this year we head into it with the added excitement of a Big Five team already having won a tourney game last night-- way to go, La Salle!
So, to all of the donkeys playing hooky from work, cutting class, recovering from vasectomies (no for real this is a thing), road-tripping with no hotel or tickets, streaming games on their phones, muting their desk line and watching during conference calls, "working from home" (lolololol), and/or accidentally getting a bit too tipsy during their lunch break I say ... ENJOY!

We're Better Than This

I'm going a little outside of my depth here, and I realize there are (bad) donkey fans everywhere, but there's no excusing this:
A kid, at last night Flyers/Devils game with his dad. According to his Twitter:
A note to the violent idiots who make it hard for kind, intelligent, fun, family-oriented Philadelphia fans: Stop being idiots.

ZWR LethargyGate Exclusive!
Tweet
You'd have had to have been very lethargic the past few days to not take note of (or become annoyed by) the focus on lethargy re: one Harry Leroy Halladay. In short, everyone's pooping themselves over his start on Tuesday. ZOINKS.
Being the true journalist that I am, I got to the bottom of things yesterday in my Philly.com investigative exclusive (don't listen to that one mouth-breather in the comments, that article was NOT fiction). Well, I didn't stop there-- I got to the bottomer.
While hanging around the locker room holding my iPhone in the air pretending to record key quotes for future stories I'll publish in the name of journalism on the web portal a major US media market's legacy newspapers, I noticed something over by Roy's palacial spring training locker stall...
AUDIBLE GASP!
Finally, confirmation that HLHIII totally committed to the lethargy this week. The guy is as focused as ever, folks. No need to worry. 2013 is going to be special.

Halladay gets some work in during ‘lethargic’ spring start [PHILLY.COM]

LETHARGY: it's the word of the day. My column:
Said Halladay after the game: "I just felt lethargic. But you know, that was kind of the point today. I was really working on some things as we all do during spring training. Today was all about my lethargy -- well, Dubee calls it the ‘L-Bomb’ -- but I call it my lethargy ball. It’s kind of like a telegraphed changeup in the middle of the plate. I modeled it after an early [Kyle] Kendrick sinker, but don’t tell him I said that.”

ZWR Breaking News from the Papal Conclave
Tweet
ZWR sources at the Vatican were able to capture this stunning image below (Note: NOT photoshopped), which some are indicating may reveal a clue as to who the next pope of the Catholic Church may be.
Experts and observers are confused however as to the potential ramifications of a non-practicing-former-Mormon from Colorado being named the new Bishop of Rome.
Stay tuned for updates or confirmations... we are working this story very hard.

Hey there kids! Evan and I are back for one last BACHCAP for Season: Sean, wherein we break down the finale. I'd like to take this moment to remind everyone that I basically called Cath-Cath winning weeks ago- thank you very much and you're welcome. Let's do this thing!
After Watching this Ep, I Need to ...
ZWR: Go listen to Lisa Loeb. Did you see that girl in the crowd who looked like Lisa Loeb? Everyone talks about “Stay” when they think of her, but I always liked that song “Do You Sleep”.

That Dunk? Meh.
Tweet
ZWR sources finally found visual evidence (7 month old meme zeitgeist FTW) that someone out there wasn't actually impressed with that ridiculous DeAndre Jordan dunk. Crazy, huh? Here, check it:
