Game Time!


After writing last week’s column, I was told by a faithful reader that I haven’t been very positive in my articles. But like my man, Treach, says, “Positive, well positive ain’t where I live.” Fortunately, I don’t live near West Hell or South Shit either, but The Phillies have taken over the Wild Card lead so it’s all fun and games this week.  Literally. This week’s ramblings will be my version of the $25,000 Pyramid. Phillies style.
Just in case you don’t remember or are unfamiliar with the game show, one contestant tries to give clues so another contestant can guess the category.  First, an example:
1.     The Mets
2.     The Phanatic
3.     A-Rod

A.    Things Jay Wrizight hates.
Ok so now that you get the idea we’ll get started.
