As a Mets fan, I don’t need a lot of encouragement to root against the Phillies in this week’s World Series. But if I did, the ravings of “Mike from Delaware” might do the trick. On a sports radio call-in show last week, the overheated Phillies fan coined an unfortunate and ungrammatical catchphrase that has quickly caught fire. “Boston did it. The White Sox did it. Why can’t us? Why can’t us?”
Already, there’s a brisk business in “Why Can’t Us?” t-shirts, with the proceeds going to charity (May I humbly suggest Literacy Volunteers?) Us send our sympathies to Philadelphia teachers who will have to abide this for the next week or so.
