Above, you see closer Jonathan Papelbon celebrating the Red Sox’ 2007 World Series title.

This Photo, Allegedly Of Ryan Howard, Will Launch Philadelphia Into An Even Deeper Sports Depression

You couldn’t blame any Philadelphia sports fan who’s experienced some dark days in the last week. The Eagles are 1-4. The Sixers can’t actually play basketball until the lockout ends, and who knows when that will be. The Flyers are off to a good start, but it’s just that: a start. They’ve played two games, far too soon to come to any conclusions about the team’s direction.

The Phillies’ Shane Victorino Blessed Us With One Of Baseball’s Best Bloopers In Memory

A close playoff baseball game as tension-filled as anything in sports. Suddenly the breaks and pauses that move us to create running gags like “Baseball is a Slow Game” become almost unbearably filled with anticipation and/or nervousness at what might happen. There are some things, though, that can break through the drama and leave onlookers in hysterics.

Watch A High-Stakes Playoff Baseball Game Get Interrupted By…A Squirrel

Yesterday’s 3-2 Phillies win over the Cardinals was a tense affair, the type of game that knots fans’ stomachs, induces wild mood swings, and generally does its best to destroy the mental health of those with a rooting interest.

Video: Roy Halladay Gives Us The Most Badass Quote Of The Baseball Season

A bit ago, Twitter exploded with news from The New York TimesTyler Kepner that Phillies ace Roy Halladay, in his pre-playoffs press conference, said something that seemed so good, it made us long for audio and/or visual evidence so we could hear it for ourselves. Check out the video after the jump to do just that.
