 One of the best things about the Internet, is that, while the local paper of record is doing a big puff piece on a Phillies announcer many fans don’t seem to like, you can simply put up your own feelings and come up with your own story.
Enter The Chris Wheeler Glossary. Put together by the posters at PhilliesPhans.com, the site contains all of Wheels’ favorite sayings that we’ve come to know over the past years. Some of my favorite definitions:
- Ba Hahaha HeHeHe HA - I think your (largely unfunny) baseball-related story is amusing
- He Has Fun Out There - He’s awful; He’s Tomas Perez
- Does He Throw A Split? - That pitch wasn’t a fastball
- First Ball Fastball, Middle-in - Any pitch that someone can hit
- How Important Was…? - I think that was important, do you agree? (usage: on the pre-game manager’s show, “Charlie, how important was that game winning home run by Utley last night?”)
- LA… - Larry Andersen; former junkballing major league reliever and resident humorist (usage includes: “LA - how important is strike one?” — Chris wishes LA to spin the viewers a colorful yarn about the perils of getting behind in the count. Or, he just wants to get on our nerves and talk down to us.)
- There’s Our Old Friend (insert former Phillies anything) - He never liked me
And there’s a ton more. Check it out, and may all your first ball fastballs be middle in. (Although they always are.)
