Dear Madonna Fans:

A Michael Tucker RBI single and a Shane Victorino three-run homerun lifted the Phillies to a 4 - 0 win over the Atlanta Braves yesterday. The Houston Astros beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2 - 1, to maintain their two game lead over the Phillies.

Phils fans were happy - jubilant, even - for just a little while last night. It started with a two-run Bobby Abreu homer that tied the game at 5. The ball was smashed to center field and many fans probably imagined that the clutch eighth inning homer was drilled right down the through of Howard Eskin. The throat of Howard Eskin being A.J. Finch's catching mitt, obviously.

While the Phillies were busy losing game two of a day-night doubleheader to the Washington Nationals, Michael Marcavage, the face of Repent America, was busy pissing off fans in the 300 level of Citizens Bank Park. Marcavage was on-hand to protest Gay Day, the third annual night for gays to celebrate in groups at a Phillies game. The game has always been a center of controversy, including when the homophobic Todd Jones made his debut as a Phillie the day after making homophobic remarks in the Phils' locker room.

by Ginny O'Neil We love how most websites focused on keeping your place cool and energy usage down tell you it’s not rocket science. Fortunately, heat, humidity and neighbors with man boobs melt our brains, so we don’t mind repeating it. Keeping the sun out is key. Techniques vary. Depending on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to block it is not an option. Use shades. Use sheets. That emergency mylar blanket in your bomb shelter is perfect – but the glare may piss your neighbors off. Keep the place closed during the day and air moving inside. Fans. All the time. Use them. Love them. And blow in the air when it starts getting cool in the evening. Access to the attic? Blow, baby, blow. A heavy duty window fan up here, sucking out, will ease your woes (we suppose it would ease anyone’s woes, eh?). They even have a feature to keep the foul weather out, so you can run it all the time. If you have an air conditioner, make sure it’s well installed. Fill in the cracks in the window. Fill in the neighbors crack while you’re at it. Make sure it’s level. Clean the filter. You don’t want it running all the time – so the more prep you do the better. Remember – heat inside stays inside. Fridge running hot? Take a vacuum to the coils. Unplug stereo and computer components when you’re not around. Dishwasher? Are you kidding me? Would it kill you to hand wash? Take the cooking outside. Grill it up. Invite us over. We like our filet rare. And no man boobs.
