Ahhhh. So good to be home.

From the Press of Atlantic City: An Atlantic County grand jury indicted five men Tuesday on charges that they arranged and filmed a sexual encounter involving Atlantic City Councilman Gene Robinson last November, attempting to coerce him into resigning. The indictment charged brothers Craig, David and Ronald Callaway, the last better known as Jihad Q. Abdullah, as well as City Councilman John Schultz and suspended city employee Floyd Tally.

Meanwhile, the Phillies, fresh off losing two out of three, and major ground in the wild card race, to the Padres, have won their last three games, including two against the Mets. The Mets now lead the East by four, and the Phillies, despite having perhaps the worst in-game situation manager of all-time who is somehow now a manager of the year candidate, and despite having a roster *depleted* by injuries and pitching that, in a word, sucks, well the Phillies are kind of in it.

Our marketing suggestion is "Phillies: Refuse to believe in them and don't dare jump on the bandwagon and let them surprise you but act like you don't care because you're too busy doing the sh*t that you want to do and they've f*cked you the last two years with the early-season losing and the strong pushes at the end and then the missing the playoffs by one game."

But boy do we love us some Chase Utley and Ryan Howard.

Thank you, Matt Katz, for commenting. We remember the days of four or five commenters, but we have to say, you are so are Mel if we were the Flight of the Conchords.

Rome wasn't built in a day, we like to say.
