Sept. 24 -- BLAME THE PHANATIC

BY SCOTT LAUBER

So, about that bomb scare ...

... the Phillies just released a statement in which they revealed that the suspicious packages near the first-base gate outside the Bank today were, in fact, hot dogs. Apparently, hot dogs had been wrapped in white packaging and duct tape to be used as projectiles in a commercial shoot starring the Phanatic. Three hot-dog projectiles were inadvertently left behind on a light post near the first-base gate.

In a related story, the Phanatic hasn't been spotted on the field tonight. Perhaps he's answering some questions downtown?

Meanwhile, in far more serious news, the Phillies are losing 9-3 to the Braves. The Cubs have rallied to tie the Mets, 5-5, at Shea Stadium. But, all of a sudden, things are getting very interesting in the NL playoff race.
