In the bottom of the 7th inning last night as the Phillies were padding their lead, I looked overhead just in time to catch this message from the blimp overhead: NO WORRIES. I laughed. I had just watched in disbelief as Roy Oswalt, looking like the slowest man in the world, had run through a stop sign from third base coach Sam Perlozzo and chugged home from second on a single to center. RoyO slid in safely but oh my gosh. Bless Aubrey Huff of the Giants for reading Perlozzo's sign and cutting off the ball at the mound. Oswalt said after the game that as soon as he saw the ball go over the infield, his only thought was to score.
Cutest sign of the night: Roys 'R Us.
The best one so far was a long banner cutting across several sections in left field and aimed at Pat Burrell: Pat...Elvis roots for the Phillies. Elvis, of course, is Burrell's English bulldog, the one that rode with him on the Budweiser wagon at the World Series parade.
