Since Tacoby Bellsbury and Taco-co Crisp were unfairly eliminated from the World Series, I'm a little nervous that no one will win me a free taco this year. Since I've watched a total of 0 Phillies' games this year (well I did watch Manny bat in the NLDS), I decided to do some research into what kind of running game this team has and which Phillie can possibly make it rain free tacos. Here's my findings:
1. Jimmy Rollins (SS)- If a Phillie is...

Rally Mohawk Update

When I started growing my Rally Mohawk, the Red Sox started running away with the Wild Card. Clearly the Rally Mohawk has been a factor.

Only 3.5 games back and now I smell tasty Devil Rays! Although I’m mostly a meat-eater, I do feast on fish from time to time. Canned salmon is particularly tasty and I think I’d probably take me a bite out of a Devil Ray if I ever saw one washed ashore near my lake, Lake Michigan.

I'm feeling a little better about how the Sox are playing lately. But with a lot of injuries, new faces, and 6 games left against the Rays (who seem to never lose), the Sox still have a lot of work ahead of them. That's why I've put on my rally mohawk. I'm not going to cut my rally mohawk until the Sox clinch a post-season berth. I'll keep you guys updated on my rally hawk which grows fast!
