I’ve mellowed on the whole “pluralizing with an apostrophe” kick. First off, there’s a dude in the paper who covers that for me. Second off, I write x-thousand words a day, I’m sure I’ve done it myself in my darkest of moments. But, you, Daily News sports staff — or whoever keyed in the headline on the web — have no excuse for writing “Phil’s.” Unless Philadelphia Phil and Phyllis won the game and not the local baseball nine1… ahem, ahem.
