Phrolics

The Philadelphia Phillies have a new stadium. And there's a media blitz underway to get people out to games. Y'know... to pay for it.

I'm really liking the commercials. In one, to emphasize the fact that the new venue has real grass and not astroturf, Phillies are shown gamboling in a grassye field. Two are tickling each other's chins with black-eyed susans at one point.

Love that!

But then there's a new one I just saw tonight. The premise is 'We've moved!' It shows the unpacking at the new place, bats, balls, and such. And, pitcher Billy Wagner who is shown wrapped up in shrink wrap, in uniform, with a handwritten sign stuck on his chest.

I would enjoy spending an evening with Billy Wagner wrapped up in shrink wrap.
