From the Unintentional Comedy Department

Here's a press release from the Phillies on today's bomb scare at Citizens Bank Park:

"After looking into the matter of today's incident, the Phillies have determined that a commercial shoot was conducted at Citizens Bank Park during which hot dogs heavily wrapped in white packaging and duct dape were used as projectiles by the Phanatic's hot dog launcher. Three of these projectiles were inadvertently left behind on a light post at our First Base Gate.

The Phillies would like to express their appreciation to the Philadelphia Police Department for their important assistance, particularly during this difficult time for all law enforcement."

Here's a serious question: instead of sending in the bomb squad to blow the things up, couldn't they have just stuck the packages in a microwave without poking holes in them?

Not funny, David. You know better. Poor taste. And I am not referring to the hot dogs.

This is unbelievable. Hot dogs, are you kidding me. At least this brings a laugh into tonight's sad game.

The interview about the shutdown of CB Stadium w/ M. Barkann on WIP this morning was one of the funniest and best I have ever heard.

One helluva blog entry, David. A writing tour d'force.

I stole this from a post pm FoxSports: "In Philly they call in a bomb squad for an implosion...in NY, they just pick up the bullpen phone!"
