Why Is Indiana Jones In Phils' Schedule?
 |
Your move, Philly.com. Phillies.com has embedded Indiana Jones into it's schedule page. What's best is it's there with no explanation at all. Maybe the Phillies will wear Indiana Jones hats that day!
I'm sure I'll see the new Indiana Jones movie. I'm sure everyone will know about it. It'll definitely be advertised heavily. I already saw an ad for it. I fully expect ads for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to be broadcast directly into my brain by George Lucas. I'm sure I will see it sometime on opening weekend. Do really need to sponsor the Phillies schedule?
Something like Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay would be a much better choice to advertise the schedule. It needs to be something you forget you want to see.
I could be wrong, though. Maybe Harrison Ford is entering the starting rotation on May 22. Shape up, Kyle Kendrick!

I would never rain on the mighty D-Mac's parade, but this was on dspin yesterday... apparently it's some sort of marketing initiative MLB signed with Paramount.
But, honestly: it's a picture on a schedule. This is a thing? Seriously?

I think he's still suffering from the after-effects of the Kerri Lee visit....

Yes, yes, I have been behind on my Google Reader: Awful Announcing and Deadspin have had it. And, no, I'm not mad or anything.

These Red Sox fans are, though. Oh, man, are they mad.
And feel free to rain on any one of my parades, please.

Must be an MLB.com thing- the Yankees have him there on the same date too- and the Yankees NEVER wear a different hat!
