i play drums in Tit Patrol. what's Tit Patrol? well, it's a band. the best band alive. that is to say that i'll readily admit that there were better bands: the Ramones, Screeching Weasel, MTX, the Halflings, Green Day, Buglite, the Bouncing Souls, the Crash, Operation Ivy, and the best band ever, Plow United. so all those bands were better than us; but they're dead.
Of all the above bands, only the Ramones have actually deceased members, the rest just went the way of all bands: they got bored, they couldn't hack it, etc, they broke up, they're gone.
Check Danthology for the Where are they now? (the bouncing souls still play shows and put out records; but come on...) I hate music, and i used to love it. but on a long enough timeline everything hits the toilet, everybody ends up shooting pool with a length of rope.
So here I am, music is dead; but i'm full of care, so i gots to care about something, right? how about those phightin' phils? they may not be great but all the other teams in baseball aren't even good: mets suck, yankees suck, reds suck, fuck the blue jays, the tigers, the A's, the rangers, the braves, especially fuck the marlins, giants, the dodgers, D-backs, and the cubs suck. I hate the red sox, white sox, the nationals, etc.
See the thing about baseball is that you get about 10-12 ballplayers and you try and win the whole thing. take the Brooklyn Dodgers for instance, the Boys of Summer : Edwin "Duke" Snider, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella, Clem Labine, and the best second basemen ever: Jackie Robinson. These dudes got together and played every year for over a decade and lost to the yanks in the World Series 7 times. And in '51 the hated Giants stole signs, erased a giant lead , and the Giants win the pennant! the Giants win the pennant. The Dodgers had to watch these other "asshole" NY teams hoist world series' trophies over and over again until the '55 World Series. They finally won one and the Brooklyn Gazette (or maybe the Eagle) got to run the headline: This is next year! Then less than three years later, the team moved to LA, the gazette folded, and all of Brooklyn went to shit.

The Phillies aren't going to leave town anytime soon. They have a phightin' chance at winnin'
the World Series this year. But that's about it. And if somebody doesn't take over this stuff and run it the right way than it could be 1995-2002 all over again. or 1951-64, or 65-76, or 1883-1950. Enter the Main man!
phillies never say phils are dead!
