Leftovers: Lieby, Murphy And Taxis
• Hey, Mike Lieberthal will be signing a 1-day contract with the Phillies, and then retiring. The fans will probably give him a nice standing ovation as well, which will prove that Philadelphia sports fans are evil anti-semites. [Balls, Sticks & Stuff]
• So would hybrid taxis be a good idea in Philadelphia? Probably; I remember the idea was widely mocked when NYC got some a while back, but now that gas is super-expensive -- Worst. War for Oil. Ever. -- it sounds like a good idea. Plus green is hip with the kiddies, and the media will just eat it up! [The Illadelph]
• Patrick Murphy's wife on the perils of being Patrick Murphy's wife: "We have a Wawa right near our house in Bristol and I can’t buy Tastykakes because the guy behind the counter will say, 'Do you think you should be eating Tastykakes?'" [Bucks County Courier Times]
• Translated from French (originally translated from English, I assume), a quote from Flyers coach John Stevens: "Only the monkeys at TSN picked us to win." According to the comments Canada's sports network has an actual monkey pick games, and he usually does better than experts. Of course. [Philly.com]
• Also, from Action News just now, Ed Rendell stopped by for the dedication of the Smarty Jones and Afleet Alex carousel horses. Oh, but of course.
