You knew it was coming. When the Yankees won the World Series, every sports fan with half a functioning brain cell braced for the inevitable, saccharine SportsCenter packages.

If you haven't seen Three Sheets, I highly recommend it. It's a drinking show that used to be on a little-known cable station called Mojo but now appears on FLN, an even more obscure outlet.

Before Game 6 of the World Series, I was on the field at Yankee Stadium. A friend and I were looking around and taking it all in.

Gonzo: Phillies good (but not great) year ends with loss
-
NEW YORK - When the last out was recorded, Yankee Stadium shook from the energy. A deep, primal howl reverberated from the stands. It was the sound of victory, of ultimate triumph - sweet music to the locals, pure pain to Philadelphians.

Regardless of whether the Brett Myers remarks were sincere, the whole thing underscores what's become painfully apparent lately: Cole Hamels has replaced Donovan McNabb as the most scrutinized and ridiculed athlete in Philly

Charlie Manuel is a nice guy - or at least he treats most of the press with respect, which is what passes for pleasant as far as most of us are concerned. He wasn't in such a good mood before the Phils went out and beat the Yanks in Game 5, however. He seemed sort of annoyed, actually.

Gonzo: For Phila. fans, the longest day
-
The city was blanketed by a grim, gray sky yesterday morning. It was fitting. A lot of people woke up in dark moods. The idea of an all-day sports clash with New York initially sounded fun, but any pre-festivity positivity was muted when the Phils blew Game 3 on Saturday. Cole Hamels said the season has been "mentally draining" and added that he "needed a fresh start."

There are rules. Sadly, some of you are violating them and getting away with it. Last week, I wrote about my buddy Doyle - a vile, shameless wretch who is about to be excommunicated from our network of friends for an ineffable fan infraction. To wit: He roots for both the Yankees and the Phillies.

You never know what to expect on live TV. It's the unpredictability that makes it great. After the Fightin's won their second-straight NL Championship Series, people all over the Philadelphia region celebrated. The local television stations covered the commotion, cutting to footage from Citizens Bank Park, neighborhood bars and city streets.
