I could not wait until Friday to pass along this breaking news, which came acrioss the AP wire this morning:
Phabulous Phanatic
A MARKETING RESEARCH company confirmed what sports fans in the Philly area already knew: The Phillie Phanatic is No. 1. The gentle green giant, who debuted at the start of the 1978 season, got the highest rating in the Marketing Arm's Davie-Brown Index.
Marketers use the index to determine a celebrity's (or mascot's) brand identity. Scores are determined by calculating consumer responses on eight attributes: appeal, aspiration, awareness, endorsement, influence, notice, trendsetter and trust.
Mascots No. 2 through 10 are: The San Diego Chicken (originally San Diego Padres),  Mr. Met (New York Mets) , (NOTE FROM PP: THIS WON'T BE THE LAST TIME IN 2008 THAT PHILS FINISH AHEAD OF THE METS) the Racing Sausages (Milwaukee Brewers), Benny the Bull (Chicago Bulls), the Rally Monkey (Los Angeles Angels), Sourdough Sam (San Francisco 49ers), Rowdy (Dallas Cowboys), Rally(Atlanta Braves) and Miles (Denver Broncos).

| Take a hike you fat moron. Market research is bs. if there was an actual primary and or election season and Mr. Met was running for the nomination, he'd being using the phanatic suit as a rag mop to clean up the mess he left behind. |

| Philly Phanatic: While we must tip our caps (actually, our shades - we don't wear caps) to the chosen award-winner, we must also offer you some sour grapes (green, of course). Mr. Met is not allowed to win for the sake of baseball. For clearly, he is the bestest and most fabulousest team representative in the history of the world. He is not just a mascot, Buddy Boy; he is much, much more than that. He is an icon. He is a role model. When was the last time you heard a bad thing come out of Mr. Met's mouth?! Huh? How about NEVER!!! He's not overweight and he doesn't go around throwing perfectly good food away (e.g. dumping popcorn on people)... So, take your award for best mascot. We have bigger designs in mind for Monsieur Metropolitan: MAN OF THE YEAR!!! P.s... You're in big trouble for attempting to steal Angry Ward's thunder... Meet us in the MeetTheMatts Meeting Room ASAP!!! |

| I'd also like to point out that Mr. Met has been runner up for People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive honor a record 11 times. The Phanatic has never even made the top ten! |
