They are putting a Phillies farm team in Allentown, and it's going to be called the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Their logo:

Sorry about your car. If I see it, I'll tell you.

Other headlines:
Pigs Licking Their Chops
Ham-strung!
Things in Allentown Go Sow-er
Hot Dogs!
[Manger's name] is Chairman of the Boar
Roasted Pigs Spit out Another Loss Near the Big Apple

and notes on the team's daily activities will be called "Bacon Bits."

Of course, all of these fall short of your "Slumping Pigs Roll Around In Their Own Filth." Awesome. You should get your PhD for that alone. Don't go to Egypt, turn that in as your thesis.

I'm partial to the one about Roasted Pigs spitting out another loss. I was trying to come up with something about a spit but had nothing. Well done, Mr. Loafman, well done. Fiume tomorrow night?

[ploaf]

Hell yes to Fiume.

So, let's review:
You go away last summer and Philly takes your bike.
You go away this summer and Philly takes your car.

What do they take while you're in Egypt this time? The bar? UPenn? The commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

[thegreycat]

Yeah man, Philly is testing my love. It's like how God tests my faith by planting vestigial organs in my body.

My prediction: I come home next summer to find that Philly has taken Chase Utley.

Sorry about your car, too.

That does not excuse your "ham-fisted baserunning," though. Ham-fisted pitching, sure. Ham-fisted batting, perhaps. But ham-fisted baserunning? Really, Dave?

A few others you missed out on:

Lehigh make silk purse out of sow's ear of a game
[Opposing pitcher] throws pearls before swine

[thegreycat]

pearls before swine= tremendous.

Yeah, the car thing sucks. Oh well. Thanks Philly!
