  • The Phils won their weekend series with the San Francisco Giants on a fielding error and Ryan Howard's chugging frog splash into home. Philadelphia starts a four game set tonight with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who hold the best record in the majors.
  • We at Phillyist love animals. We check I Can Has Cheezburger daily, we frequently go to restaurants in Fairmount just so we have an excuse to stop and look at the kitties in the window at Fairmount Pet Shoppe, and we cried at the tragic end to Saturday's Kentucky Derby. A couple months ago, when we were liveblogging the Barking Beauty pageant, we met some of the good folks from Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, better known as PAWS, who share our love of animals. Our new friends will be having a big event in Manayunk on Saturday called PAWS on Main, which we'll tell you more about later in the week.

Oh, and the Phillies won, too. Woo hoo!
