June was a bad month for the Phillies. They lost-and-lost-and-lost. A nice lead in the NL East was squandered. And then, suddenly, things turned around.
What changed? The Phillies got a new fan, a good luck charm–Roxie.
Living in the Fox house means living with the Phillies telecasts. Helaine watches every game. When Stef and I are here we watch with her.
Since her arrival Roxie has watched every game too!
So what’s the dog’s record? Since her arrival the Phillies have gone 10-1. They’ve even begun to win at home, the low hanging fruit of baseball which had evaded them until Roxie’s arrival.
“Chance,” you might say. “Luck, it’s all just luck.”
I asked Roxie. She totally takes credit… and asked for some Citizens Bank Park crab fries.
Case closed.
I’m wondering if she’ll look good in a Pedro Martinez jersey
We are reserving comment on Pedro. This wasn’t our choice.
I hear you – we didn’t want him on the Mets either.
Someday, we’ll find out what his REAL age is.
