The last time you saw your 2010 Philadelphia Phillies, they were jumping together in a heap in the middle of Citizen's Bank Park, exuberantly tackling their star pitcher, smiling Christmas-morning grins. They'd just been part of the greatest postseason pitching performance in National League history (a claim that stood for all of 28 hours ⦠thanks, Tim Lincecum) and having notched the first of what everyone seems to believe will 11 wins this postseason; the home team was happier than A.J. Daulerio with a Croc pic. Maybe everyone was just excited for their sweet new watches, but it was still genuinely captivating to see a team this star-studded so obviously thrilled. For them, Game 1 of the NLDS was the high point of the season.
Conversely, the last time you saw the Reds they were sadly walking back to their clubhouse, their heads uniformly pointed towards their cleats. They spent an entire game waving uselessly at every pitch in Halladay's arsenal, unable to even manage one well-struck ball. Watching them try to hit against Doc was like watching Adrian Greenier act opposite anyone: They had just been JV'd by the Phils' Varsity, and they all knew it. After a season in which their young stars had come into their own, they had been manhandled by the yardstick they had to hold themselves up to. For the Reds, Game 1 was the low point of their season.
That means, of course, that for the Phils there is no place to go but down, and for the Reds nowhere to go but up. That isn't a particularly insightful observation â the entire world knows it. Coming into the series the Reds were a prohibitive underdog in the series â every single ESPN analyst picked them to lose, and both SI and the Sporting News predicted a Phillies sweep â and now, would-be experts everywhere have all but written them off completely: âIt's hard to see how anyone can be optimistic about the Reds' chances,â opined Cliff Corcoran. Right now, you have to lay $600 just to have the privilege of winning $100 on a Phillies' series win.
And, on paper, everyone is right: Game two shouldn't be close. The Phillies are starting Roy Oswalt, best known for sub-2 ERA since joining the Phils, his five Top-5 finishes in the Cy Young race, and his NLCS MVP, against the Reds' Bronson Arroyo, best known for his hair"styles," his cover band, and his failed drug test. That isn't the only mismatch: The Phils finished 24 games over .500 at home, compared to the Reds' 3 over record on the road, and much of the young Cincinnati lineup has never had to do it when it matters. This disparity obviously played out Monday, when likely league MVP Joey Votto and his teammates combined for a total of no hits against Doc.
However, the real world doesn't exist in popular opinion, games are still won and lost outside of a spreadsheet, and short five-game series can lend themselves to flukes. Tonight, the Reds, a team who will have bettered their previous performance the first time a seeing-eye single squirts through the infield, face a team that just celebrated — literally had champagne brought into the clubhouse (not that Halladay had any that night ⦠he probably had stairs to run or something). The Reds have nothing to lose.
If the Phils win, so what? They were supposed to win. Not only are they prohibitive favorites, but if we are to believe the old adage, a series doesn't start until the road team wins a game, they'll have simply held serve. If the Reds win? Well, then the unbeatable Phillies just lost home field advantage, the egg-on-their-face Reds can play loose, and those Midwesterners out in whatever Podunk little state Cincinnati is in can put on their best Phillies-fan imitation and actually make an away game something to fret about.
So look, I'm not saying that if the Phillies drop game two suddenly they can't win — they can, and probably will — I'm just saying that if the Home Team wants to keep that unbeatable aura about them and stay out of a dogfight, well, early tonight is probably the time to do it.

So this afternoon, Friend of the Clog Jesse Delaney e-mailed us with this tantalizing idea: Take the Public Enemy silhouette-in-crosshairs logo, insert Mr. Red, and slap "Bring Tha Roys!" a nod to P.E.'s "Bring Tha Noize," underneath.
And through the photoshop magic of CP's Alyssa Grenning, voila!
According to J.D.: "I'm blowing it up to poster size and carrying it to the game tomorrow."
Got an idea for a killer Phils logo? E-mail bhoward [at] citypaper [dot] net.

Last night, around the sixth inning of the first win of the Phillies/Reds National League Division Series, it became evidently and obviously clear to the 46,411 fans in attendance (and the 680,046 who will one day claim they were there) that Roy Halladay would not be allowing a hit to the National League's best offense. Unlike your typical no-hitter, Halladay wasn't relying on game-saving catches, escaping from warning-track threats or encountering any real moments of panic. As fans waved their towels in the stands, media types broke rules by snapping pictures from the press box and DVRs across the nation changed their setting to âsave until I delete,â Halladay calmly walked to and from the mound, reached back, and notched his 27 outs — eight Ks, three infield pops, 12 grounders and just four balls that left the infield — in just 2 hours and 34 minutes. He threw one more ball (25) in nine innings than Edison Volquez, the Reds' starter, did in less than two. He out-hit, out-scored, and out-RBI'd the Reds all by himself. He is now — clearly and without hyperbole — the game's preeminent starter, the most talented righthander ever to play in this town, and the Phillies' best and most valuable player.
Below, thanks to the magic of the Interwebs (and the obsessive coverage of the dailies, which seem to double in size come playoff time), we'll find the best (and worst) recounting of the newest top-5 moment in Philadelphia sports history. You'll see exactly how dominant Doc was, hear him be compared to a lot of former stars, and read many, many words attempting to find his place in history.

Yesterday, on the subway down to Citizen's Bank Park, I ran into a friend who splits a season ticket package with eight of his friends. This group had managed to procure one set of playoff tickets for them all, and as the most equitable solution they could think of, had agreed to have a draft to determine who among them should go to what game.
âThe first-pick guy couldn't go during the World Seriesâ my friend explained, âso he got stuck with this weekend.â The second in line snatched Game 6 of the Fall Classic, and the third locked up the first. All of this left our friend, picking forth, game tickets to Game 2 of the 2010 World Series.
âI wanted to see them close it out,â he deadpanned, shrugging. âOh well.â
I never figured out which unfortunate soul was saddled with seeing the first no-hitter in National League playoff history, and I doubt they were cursing their luck when the single finest righthander ever to pitch in Philadelphia was no-noing a team that led the NL in average (.272), homers (188) and runs (790). Still, the fact that the second season's kickoff was relegated to a second-tier event may have had as much say about the state of Philadelphia baseball as anything he witnessed on the field. We grew up in a town that was shocked when the Phils were competitive, and all of a sudden we're living in one where parades are all but assumed.
Four years ago, when Charlie Manuel trotted Jimmy, Shane, Chase and Ryan out for their first of four (plus?) playoff runs as the Phils' 1-4 hitters, fans felt like they had won their World Series already (7 in 17, for those with memories forged in the Twitter generation (@ejamesbeale). The next year, our city put the challenge on the shoulders of the fans, turning playoff games into bunkers as they tried to rattle opposing pitchers, and leaving the stadium more relieved than elated. Even last year, with a WFC in the pocket, the playoff run was less about flexing muscles and more about the hope our city wasn't a fluke, but rather belonged in the winners' circle. This year? Fans are literally planning trips to American League cities they believe might host games 3-4-5 of the Championship round.
In a sports town long marked — heartbreakingly and accurately — as doomed to failure, the 2010 Phils have somehow instilled in our city the sincere belief that the NLDS is just the unavoidable scenic-route drive to the inevitable championship.
Part of that is justified: The Phils' Game 1 starter — the guy who just pitched the best playoff game in the history of the senior circuit — was their third-best starter in the second half (third-best ERA, WHIP and BAA after the All Star break). Thanks to Doctober, Oswalt, Cole âRoyâ Hamels, and a lineup wherein you could win the argument that their current worst-hitting regular has an MVP on his mantle, they should be considered the favorites for the Commissioner's Trophy. But still ⦠when Polanco missed the game with a sore back, fans weren't worried, they joked that their team was basically telling the world they're so good that they can rest players in the playoffs. Pregame conversation fodder used to be the opposing starters' off-speed stuff, now it's in which city the Phils will play games 3, 4, and 5 of the World Series. Philadelphia has a swagger it hasn't seen since Ben Franklin was sleeping with half of France.
Five years ago, this confidence might be a cause of worry. Today? Too busy planning that parade.

I attended my first Phils game circa 1959 at my Dad's side - night game, dazzled by the emerald field under the lights of Connie Mack. They played the Reds that night. Vada Pinson played center. NOBODY in my world was named Vada or Pinson or could run like that ... this was a fantastic new world. I've been along for the ride since - and I have never seen anything like this. Sure we were good in the late 70's - and sure we won a World Series - but the "Machines" and the "Dynasties" were out of town phenomenon. So this IS fun. For me, yet another fantastic new world. Go Phils

A no-hitter. One walk from a perfect game. Against the team with the best batting average in the National League. Holy crap, Roy Halladay.
CP sports guru E. James Beale was at the game — you're welcome for those credentials, Beale — and will have more for everyone tomorrow. In the meantime, if you guys look in the paper that hits the streets tomorrow, you'll see that, in his editor's letter (which, I should mention, went to press Tuesday night), Brian Howard predicted that Doc would throw a perfecto.
He was about two inches off.
With one byline since July that has to be the luckiest credential in history. Will there at least be some writing to go along with it? It's only been about 12 hours since the real writers filed their stories.

This is it, Phillies fans. In just under an hour, the Phillies will begin their quest for their second World Series title in three years. You've heard all the Three Aces hype, and you've heard plenty of professional prognisticators pick the hometown 9 to once again hoist the Commissioner's Trophy. But we here at CP want to know how you all think it's gonna go down. So we're breaking out the old Predictatron cuz we want you, CP readers, to call the post season.
Friend of the Clog Brian Hickey weighed in earlier, channeling his inner Moses Malone (and trust me, he's got one): "Fo-Fo-Five-Parade."
And CP sports columnist/erstwhile CP Sports Complex blogger E. James Beale, who'll be putting his press credentials to good use blogging here before and after each playoff game, makes this prediction about the Predictatron: "Prediction: EVERYONE goes with the Phils. Philly hasn't had this much confidence in our city succeeding athletically since Will tricked Carlton into settling their feud with a game of HORSE."
That, of course, was a reference to Will and Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel- Air (and from what we can gather, a completely fabricated one at that), not a reference to Steve Carlton.
We're gonna go conservative and say: "Five, Four, Six, Parade (and also Funner, Funnerer, Funnerest)."
What say you? Have at it in the comments.

I think there's a tendency among many Americans (if I may) to believe that a robust urban bike sharing system is just somehow, for some reason, impossible.
I catch myself thinking it sometimes. Maybe part of the trouble is that non-bicycle-users don't get the point, and bicycle-users already have bikes — and so they don't get the point, either. What's required is seeing bicycling as a potential mainstream mode of transportation: so easy and convenient, little old ladies'll do it.
The thing is, that's not crazy: It's already going on all over the world, and lots of cities (Paris, Barcelona, Montreal, to name a few) have implemented robust, working bike share systems.
Why not Philly? So asks Bike Share Philadelphia, a "network of organizations and individuals working to bring public use bicycles, also called bike sharing, to Philadelphia."
Bike Share Philadelphia is advocating a model of bike sharing called B-Cycle, currently being used in Denver and being piloted this summer in my hometown of Chicago (a city which, for the record, remade itself into an American bicycling capital in about 10 years — tragically, beginning more or less when I left for 10 years).
They'll be holding demos:
Thursday, August 26th at 36th & Walnut Streets, 10 AM to 6 PM, in front of the Penn Bookstore in University City in cooperation with the University of Pennsylvania.
Friday August 27th at JFK Plaza (Love Park) - 15th & JFK Blvd, 10 AM to 6 PM, in cooperation with the Mayor's Office of Transportation and Utilities.
Saturday, August 28th at Penn's Landing on the Walnut Plaza, 10 AM to 6 PM, in cooperation with the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation..
Here's how the group describes the plan:
In Philadelphia, bicycles would be placed in secure stations throughout the city. To use these bikes, individuals could sign up online in advance, or at a station kiosk. For a nominal access fee, either on a daily, weekly or yearly basis, the bikes are available for the first 30 minutes of use at no charge. There would be a small fee for each additional ½ hour. The bikes could be returned to any station throughout the city, making it true point-to-point transportation. With stations located no more than about three blocks from each other, bike sharing gives new meaning to convenience.
Do we need a picture of what this looks like elsewhere? We do. Here's bike sharing in Paris:

Philadelphia Bike Share Concept Study - Delaware Valley Planning Commission, |
Isaiah Thompson, Thank you for your great posting on Bike Share Philadelphia's bike-sharing demonstrations at Penn, Love Park and Penn's Landing this week. You are so right that bike sharing does take bicycling into a mainstream mode of transportation. Please let me clarify that Bike Share Philadelphia is advocating that Philadelphia adopt a self-service bike share program as soon as it is possible. We do not necessarily advocate a particular company or model for our city's program. Last year, we sponsored a similar demonstration of the Public Bike System Company's model which is currently in use in Montréal, Minneapolis and London. Until Philadelphia adopts a system through a competitive bidding process, we will continue to bring different models of programs and hold demonstrations as a way to further the process along.
I love that fact that they are doing the bike sharing, but I get my bike from 2whellbikes.com
I aggree with Dean. I got a bike from 2wheelbikes, and it has been the best online shopping experience I have had to date. Their service was fast, and inexpensive. Check them out. http://www.2wheelbikes.com/
Wow, that's cool. I would hate to share my bike though. I love my bike. http://www.2wheelbikes.com/bicycle-beach-cruisers/panther-7sp-f-beach-cruiser.html

As CP's Holly Otterbein reported last week, the date for the 2010 installment of the Philadelphia Naked Bike Ride has been determined. According to ride facilitator Clifford Greer, it'll go down Sun., Sept. 5, at dusk and, as it was last year, the location will remain shrouded in secrecy until just before the ride.
A press release we just received from Greer includes this year's flier (above), a link to the updated web site, and a call to help organize and/or volunteer on ride day.
Greer tells us that the 2010 ride will include not only an all-ages after party (in contrast to last year's 21+ bash at the Live Arts/Fringe festival bar) but also pre-ride neighborhood events (which don't host themselves, people).
The press release follows:
Philly Naked Bike Ride Returns!
After 2009s impressive inaugural ride, Philadelphia Naked Bike Ride (PNBR) is returning on September 5, 2010!
Time: DUSK.
Dresscode: NONE.
To get the meeting place for riders, you need to sign up for the email list at the PNBR website [http://www.phillynakedbikeride.org]. This year, expect bigger crowds, bigger smiles and more bared-asses pedaling across the city! You can learn more at phillynakedbikeride.org.
Organizers are encouraging cyclists to:
- Tell their friends about PNBR.
- Encourage their fellow cyclists to participate.
- Host a connected pre-ride event in their neighborhood.
- Become a volunteer organizer.
- Help us out on ride-day!
Contact PNBR at info@phillynakedbikeride.org for more information on the ride and volunteer opportunities!
