utley makes tyib and the fcc

Chase Utley has won the This Year in Baseball award for the best moment of the postseason for his brilliant pump-fake to first, followed by a throw home to get Jason Bartlett trying to score the go-ahead run in the 7th inning of Game 5, part 2. The play kept the game tied at three. The Phillies of course went on to take the lead and win the game, win the series.

Utley has also drawn the attention of the FCC for his World F'ing Champions remark at the WS celebration at Citizens Bank Park on 10/31. It seems that 26 people with nothing much to do with themselves were outraged enough by the comment to send complaints to the FCC, which is now investigating the broadcast outlets that carried the comment. Get a life, people, will you?
