Stars Will Be Out For WS Game 3

Move over, Backstreet Boys! Check out who will be at Citizens Bank Park when the World Series comes to Philadelphia:

Actor/singer Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster, is among those expected at the World Series games at Citizens Bank Park. Donovan McNabb, Simon Gagne, NBC News president Steve Capus, and Sixers forward Donyell Marshall, should all be in attendance as well[.]

The Steve Capus?! Oh, man, we are so lucky. But, what, no news anchors will be taking in the game as well?

Hello, 2006! We’ll begin today with something a little stupid — okay, very stupid — but amusing nonetheless.

And, yesterday, I got an email from a Flyers forward Simon Gagne during my season. And here’s what I got:

Simon Gagne (or at least his video game equivalent) uses emoticons. Sadly, I didn’t get an email from Bobby Clarke saying “OMG Eric Lindros sucks!”
