On Tuesday morning, the dawn of what could be our third straight day without Phillies baseball, the always reasonable WIP sports talk radio station asked a question on Twitter.
::talk radio scare voice:: WHO’S TO BLAME, FANS? FOR THE STATE OF THE PHILLIES? BECAUSE THEY’RE IN A STATE AND THERE ARE WORDS BEING USED THAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND AND THAT TAN SHINY GUY IS TALKING ABOUT MATH AND NONE OF IT IS GOOD. THE PHILLIES ARE IN A STATE AND SOMEONE MUST BE BLAMED. PROBABLY THE SHINY GUY.
This is where we are. Three games into the most promising season in six years and WIP is insisting that the Phillies are in some kind of “state” and someone must be blamed for it.
