Philly Sports Backwash: Sarge’s Hat > A Bolaris Hook Up, Vote Swoop! and the Wing Bowl’s giblets are showing
Submitted by jstudent on Mon, 2008-06-23 16:58.
[ ] So, the Phils have lost five in a row and are pretty much a bad road trip away from heading down the rabbit hole before the all-star break (the Mets, Cards and D’backs come to The Bank after the road swing).
Still, how worried can you be after you watch Sarge and Lil’ Sarge hanging at Rouge. It's the Smile of the Week.
The three most amazing things about this clip:
- The camera angles are unintentionally hysterical. Only thing better would have been a Hat Camtm . … ‘ Oooh: This is just like being at the table.’
- Klein or Gross haven’t reported it… yet. Would be awesome if Barkley and Eskin were at the next table over.
- John Bolaris is not hanging out with a babe in the background.

Rd., Abington) revealed that the pub is considering putting a second bright Vintage sign on the exterior wall that faces north on 611…ostensibly so that drivers who speed by on Old York Rd. won’t miss it.
