The Red Phanatic is BACK this weekend, to make sure you don't get a restful sleep before the season opener (and I think to raise awareness for...something that I forget..?)
Anyway, since everyone still thinks he's terrifying, I put him into a horror movie poster:
Go Phillies!
Whenever they unveiled the Red Phanatic (2003? 2004?) I got on my mom's laptop and sent an email to the Phillies with my take. It read: "First Ed Wade, now you're ruining the Phanatic? Thanks for nothing."
ReplyDeleteI got a really smug reply back, surely from a certain former Assistant GM. Something like "Sorry you feel that way [editor note: what a cop out], the regular Phanatic will be back soon. He'll be sure to play harder this season. [editor note: Still better range than Desi Relaford]."
