If you're rooting for the LOLPhils in the World Series, we have a new slogan:
Judge for yourself: It's "Why Can't Us?"
It sums up fan frustration and projects a positive attitude in a funny, catchy way, says Dan Levy, who wrote the original blog post on www.the700level.com, a Website devoted to discussing Philadelphia sports.
What Marty from Delaware innocently uttered on a morning XM baseball show could be "the next great new catch phrase," he wrote.
The Phillies, after all, just don't have a chant as fan-embraced as "E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!"
The push for a Phillies song -- including the dredging up and Mummerfication of a Phillies' ditty from the 1950s -- or slogan is a good sign of how desperate we are for a winner. So is "Why Can't Us?" the answer?
Why can't?
