Blogicized: Goodbye, Fu Manchu

• Philebrity points out the thing we forgot about Sal Fasano’s impending move to the Yankees: He has to shave his mustache and cut his hair, per George Steinbrenner’s no-facial hair rule/no-long hair rule. Gasp! The implications of this on Sal’s Pals can not be overstated. [Philebrity]

• More Phillies news: Is the fans’ love affair with Aaron Rowand already waning? If balls keep flying over his head… maybe. [Swing and a Miss]

• That Olympics press conference is today at 4:30 p.m., where Philadelphians will learn if our Olympic bid is dead before it officially began. [Politics Philly]

• Remind me that, if I ever get into an argument with my cell phone company, not to write a missive as long as most PW cover stories — 3,396 words — about it. [Phillybits]

• Wait, I’m supposed to make fun of this, too, aren’t I? Right? Well, a commenter took care of it for me: “Um, I don’t even know where to begin. You kids make it that much easier for me to move. Oh well, good luck with what may very well be the sweat pants of all -ists.” Ba-zing! [Phillyist]

• JGT Update: In Chicago, heading to storm-damaged St. Louis soon. [Traffic.com Roadtrip]

• Hey, remember when Q102 was a classic rock station? No? Well, they had some really strange ads to tell you to listen to it. [Phillyist]

• If you didn’t hear about that study Pew did about bloggers, well… good. You’re probably better off for it. (You’re probably better off if you don’t know about blogs at all, in fact.) But one of our own got a (well-deserved) feature piece in the San Francisco Chronicle about her! Hooray! [Tinapopo]

Blogicized: Hey, Everybody Pile On!

Yee-ha! It’s Bash Bill Giles Day™ here in Philadelphia, and bloggers are just going bananas about it! (Including myself!) So it’s time for a special all-Bash Bill Giles edition of Blogicized! Let’s take a look!

• A commenter pointed out this amusing piece by Tom Durso, which includes a nice translation guide for what Giles is actually trying to say. It’s worth it for the last line. [Shallow Center]

• “Ruby Legs” says that Bill Giles must be forced out, a la Marge Schott, and also says the Phillies are worth a billion dollars. That seems about a billion dollars too high. [Phillyville]

• Will Bunch says this team must be sold immediately, but says a boycott won’t work, so we have to beg. I can only imagine the email he’s going to get from Giles: “On your knees, beyotch!” [Attytood]

• Balls, Sticks & Stuff asks: Are the Phillies incompetent, or just stupid? [Balls, Sticks & Stuff]

• Award-winning headline writer Peter Mucha comes up with the longest poll in Internet history. [Early Word]

Blogicized: Workers Of The World, Unite

• Ed Rendell ups the salaries of minimum wage earners to a cool seven-fifteen an hour, which still isn’t all that much. But, hey, it’s something, and, hey, the state legislature passed a law that people might actually like. Hip, hip and so forth. [A Smoke-Filled Room]

• Hey, Bunchy’s back! And, hey, he’s working on a self-fulfilling prophecy about Michelle Malkin or some random commenters on blogs! That’s the kind of stuff we live for. [Attytood]

• Got a spare, oh, I don’t know, 10 minutes or so? Here’s an enjoyable way to spend it, I suppose. [Whiskey Bar]

• Carlos Ruiz is now the Phillies starting catcher. Let’s let him stay there. [Beerleaguer]

Blogicized: Tremendous Upside

• Hey, the NBA draft is tonight! Get ready to watch the 76ers pick the player who will disappoint fans at least 41 times next season. That is, if he shows up. [Philly-Sports.Net]

• Alert! You can buy FireCharlieManuel.com if you really, really think that firing him will solve all the problems of the Phillies. Or if you have a lot of time on your hands. (Incidentally, the Phillies are losing 6-0 today.) [The 700 Level]

• The body of this blog entry about the housing bubble in Philadelphia is essentially just C&P’ed from the Inky’s story the other day, but the comments are somewhat interesting. Yes, it’s a slow day. [The Housing Bubble Blog via Phillyist]

Blogicized: United We Fall

• Every single person commenting on the Phillies has taken a fairly defeatist attitude the past week or two. Now the Phillies hit the road for that big series with the easiest of teams, the Red Sox. Oh, goodie. [Beerleaguer]

• Some Phillies fans keep their sense of humor, though. [The 700 Level]

Could you imagine Randy Wolf throwing to Sal Fasano? The Wolf Pack and Sal’s Pals! It’d be the greatest moment in CBP history. [I've Made a Huge Tiny Mistake]

• The Pennsylvania ACLU on the possible marriage amendment in the commonwealth: “And it’s like getting an unwanted pinch on the butt to hear a lawmaker tell you ‘the gays’ are great, but they shouldn”t get married or French kiss in public.” Indeed! [Speaking Freely]

• And a very happy birthday to another one of PW’s bloggers, Liz Spikol, who turns 18 22 today. [The Trouble With Spikol]
