Phillies 2008 Opening Day Video
Monday wasn't exactly the glorious return of baseball to Philadelphia we were all hoping for but it was an enjoyable game nonetheless. Sure Tom Gordon threw away any chances we had of seeing a win on opening day but Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley reminded us of how much fun these guys can be to watch.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself down in South Philly. From the freezing wet parking lot, to the extra long opening day lines, it was all good because baseball is back. The following is a video we threw together, our second ever attempt with iMovie. Let me know what you think.

Thanks to Cavalier92, Fen Branklin, pompomflipflop, MattP33, and the Daily News (the Tom Gordon shot) for their photos. And thanks to the fine folks at GPTMC. Be sure to throw all your game photos in The 700 Level flickr group.
Good job on the video. Wish 1. I was there, 2. you had better weather, and 3. that Tom Gordon didn't suck so much.

Much, much better than that awful spring break film I watched last week... any word on who made that?
I'd like a credit in one of these sometime in the future... I've just always wanted to be an executive producer or something, so maybe you can make that happen for me.

Very nicely done....
BTW: Did you see the page six item on a Sixer and porn star Mary Carey?

johndewar - MC has always been a huge Sixers fan. Met her once...the "dumb blonde" stuff is an act...she's actually pretty smart.

With all due respect, Krish -- Canal St. doesn't have the same shit you can get from Japan.
I'm not walking around with a bright blue jawn with BAPE in rhinestones and shit. I get the fresh, subtle shit dawg.

Krish, I can't believe you spotted that. It took me watching it twice and Meech telling me where it was before I was like... Ohhh.

Can't go wrong with New Order.
Would it kill you to throw in a star wipe, though, Enrico?

Not bad on the vid. Where are those seats? Mine are right near there...see you around the games hopefully. Effin Tom Gordon blows.
