@Steve: Yup, that's totally what it's going to come down to. @BigFatHippo: re: Upside down costume -- ha!

@Grey: Hamels may be MVP of this series too.

Back to halloween. Hughes, nice.

I stuck a mannequin head between my legs once, gloves on my feet, shoes on my hands, jacket around legs, pants on my head and looked like I was upside down. There’s still pics of it on the wall at the ABC pub.

Was a bitch to hold my arms up all night.

@Grey: Looks like it's up to the rest of the Phillies rotation to show what they're made of?

They’re lucky we didn’t get Aybar up to bat!

It’s all right, we’ll get Moyer, Myers and Blanton.

@BigFatHippo: Nice. One year I went as Howard Hughes. I wore a bath robe and tissue boxes on my feet while carrying a milk bottle filled with beer (to look like pee).

@Grey: She ate cookie monster! Wonder if she dunked his flesh in a glass of milk. I would have, mmmmm.

Memento, nice. You Hollywood guys get that.

I once went as Dr Feelgood on a last minute. Cut the front of a box in two cup shapes, lined it with aluminum foil, illuminated the inside with flashlights, stuck my head and arms in and put a sign on the front.

“Free Mammograms, Place Breasts Here”

Try it, it’s a big hit.

@Brian B: True, but you definitely put yourself in a hole with those guys. Though that was more crappy luck than anything else. Tulo, V-Mart and Prince will probably be fine in 2009, you just got them on an off year.

@BigFatHippo: That’s a great one! One year when I had nothing, I did a last minute costume where I wrote (in marker) a To Do list on my arms and legs and I was the guy from Memento.

But can you top this:

@Grey: Hehe

Yeah, I get fired up about Halloween. Get to build the kids costumes this weekend. I’ve won several costume contests in various bars, so should be able to come up with something.

My favorite was the 9 foot mummy in top hat and cane, with a four foot schlong hanging down. Two apples served as his nuts. Dressed my little brother up in that, he walked on dry-wall stilts. With Harley boots.

This is a great game 1 eh?

@Steve: Just looked at his stats. He looks like he could be in the majors pretty soon. He's very solid.

@Grey: you have to hand it to the aussies – when it comes to sport they are incredibky tough competitors and they don’t know the meaning of the phrase ‘inferiority complex’.

There was a New Zealander in the MLB Futures game this year, BTW – guy called Scott Campbell. Had never heard of him before!

@Grey: Madge wears bunny slippers and a pink nighty when she fetches the morning paper. She actually fetches it, on all fours. I think her hirsute husband is a Lycanthrope. He frightens my kids, just in time for Halloween.

@Steve: Sorry, I was profiling. If I ever visit down under the aboriginies will have to fill me in. We have some of them around here in the Bootheel, they’re called neighbors.

@Steve: Sounds like the head of Taco Bell, the, um, Bell Head, sounds like he might be from Down Under. If it's true, that's why you don't have Taco Bell. He's saving his own people. People call it Taco Hell.

@Grey: No Taco Bell here.
@BigFatHippo: No kangaroos either. Auckland is in New Zealand – not Australia

@Steve: @Grey: Does the Aukland version of the taco contain Joey meat? Just wondering, I'm looking for any reason to notify PETA. Maybe they give rewards for that.

@BigFatHippo: Woo-hoo! When is that deal anyway? @Steve: Do they have Taco Bell in New Zealand? No? Oh, too bad! Free tacos for America!

@Grey: Zobrist wanted a Hummer for his b-day. BJ obliged, gave him 9.
