This Phillyist spent most of yesterday soaked to the bone and freezing. It was a wonderful experience. As an 8-year-old boy, I watched Curt Schilling and the Phillies win Game 5 of the 1993 World Series on television with baited breath. I never guessed I’d be there for the next victory. Nor would I have wagered that it would be 15 years later. Regardless of the rain and cold, it couldn’t have been a......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. The perfect Valentine's Day gift for that gamer you have a thing for: Chocolate Miis! (Via Sarah) Comic book fans are so pissed about the recent change Marvel made to Spider-Man - using a deal with the devil to erase Peter Parker's marriage to Mary Jane Watson - that even USA Today heard about it. For the record, we think it's stupid, too.......

The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist......

It seems like, all across the network, folks were up to no good. Maybe it was all the green beer from last weekend... Gothamist spent the week writing about New Yorkers behaving badly: at the post office, at the Garden, and at the fertility clinic. Calvin Klein may not be misbehaving, but he's just a little dirty, and in a completely different way than some NYC kitchens. SFist had its share of misbehave-rs, too, like......

Ugh. Milton Street is more of a fiasco than a real candidate, something of a sideshow in the political circus. He may even sideline Brady's chances! Oh the shame! So, to hell with politics. It's freaking warm again, and that means another miserable failure of an Eagles season is behind us (along with Jeff Garcia), and we can finally get back to the true American pastime. Phillyist is giddy like so many schoolgirls over watching......

Update: A few more sites have been added, and a few other fixes have been made. The -ists this week had politics on the brain. And what goes better with politics than partying? That's two great tastes in one. Oh, and Kevin Federline...can't forget about Kevin Federline. That's three great tastes in one. -Bostonist discussed two big state issues-- what sort of math constitutes a marriage and what kind of alcohol can be sold......

As fall settles in and another calendar page gets turned, thoughts turn from bbq's and vacations to holidays and the realization that '06 is coming to an end. With all that going on, with change in the air, we wonder what is it the -ists ponder? Phillyist is concerned that the war on Trans fats could affect its beloved cheese steak sandwiches, something for which we should all be concerned. They also seem to......

The 700Level (by way of Philadelphia Will Do) informs us that this weekend, EverQuest II will allow users try and challenge an online, in game version of "Curt Schilling." Defeat Schilling, and Sony Online will donate $5 to the ALS association. Akkam's Razor links to ChannelBreak.com - "Free live streaming internet channel videos and television shows!" Great. Because what we really needed was another excuse to spend all of our time online. And finally......

Believe it or not, Philadelphia isn't the only city with blogs. So, we decide to take a look around the world, examining their every blog and choosing the best posts. Coincidentally, they all came from within the Gothamist network. Can you imagine that? Craziness. >>> Austinist: We like MP3s. Austinist posted MP3s. We like Austinist. >>> Bostonist: First, the Patriots beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Second, the Boston Red Sox allow Curt Schilling......

This was the kind of win that makes you think, "Hey, the Phils can do this." Granted, we still don't think they can do it - it being making the ever-elusive MLB playoffs - but we were hopeful, if only for a little while. In true Phillies fashion, the Fightins lost the game they should have won (Tuesday night to the Mets, 6-4) and won the game they should have lost (last night over the......

On July 26, 2000, Phillies pitcher Curt Schilling (now the most-expensive set-up man around while he rehabs his ankle injury) was traded to the fesity Arizona Diamondbacks after winning 102 games in a Phillies uniform, including one in the 1993 World Series. Schilling was upset in Philly, he wanted out and the rest is history. The Phillies may not see a pitcher that good for 25 years. He’s up there with Steve Carlton and Robin......

Curt Schilling has become the Larry Brown of Baseball. Moving from town to town, Curt often contradicts himself in order to look out for, well, himself. Curt made headlines again on Tuesday morning. As reported on Blinq, he called into WEEI, Boston's sports talk radio station, to criticize Philadelphia radio hosts who criticized former Phils manager and current Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "They are some of the biggest pieces of trash," Schilling said of......
