Leftovers: Phillies Out-Do 'Em All, Again!

• If you're a sports fan, and your head is spinning from an Eagles loss and a big Flyers shake-up, here's something better: The Phillies signed Jamie Moyer to a two-year, $10.5 million extension today, which means the Fightins have him locked up for his 44th and 45th years on Earth. (Woulda really liked him for just one.) But wait... ooh! Maybe in the second year he can be player/manager! [Inquirer]

• Oh, and today is the 13th anniversary of Joe Carter's walkoff home run. Goodie. [Wikipedia]

• Stephen Colbert's "Sikh friend" a while back was none other than Penn's junior class president! And now he's hit YouTube, so the fame and movie deals should follow. [Daily Pennsylvanian]

• Woulda linked this Friday had I known it wasn't behind the WSJ paywall, but here goes: The, uh, Wall Street Journal had a nice Philly-bashing piece on Friday. Letters from, say, Center City District and some other angry Philadelphians to follow soon. [Wall Street Journal]

• "That whole if you don't have insurance, we'll cover you thing? Yeah, you ain't gettin' it, needy kids. We legislators need a few new cars." [KYW 1060]

Men think like this, women think like that! [Inquirer]

Dumbass: Did you not read the WSJ thing before posting that? I know you're a blogger and bloggers cannot be expected to, like, read for comprehension, but by looking at the first sentence of that and then making a judgement is ironically doing Philadelphia a disservice. Philadelphia is in decline, Boston is not, it's not bashing if it's TRUE, and why shouldn't someone ask why that is?
