Kelly Ripa is a fraud!!
I just saw a story on Philly.com so infuriating it warranted a post.  So apparently this morning on Live with Regis and Kelly, a wager was placed on the World Series.  Regis, a well known die hard Yankees fan agreed to babysit Kelly's kids if the Phillies won the World Series.  The story went on to proclaim that Kelly was a life long Phillies fan who claimed that everyone else in her household was cheering for the Yankees.  I can't believe she would have the nerve to get on television and claimed loyalty to the Phillies!  For the past few years, all she could talk about was the Mets and how she was a Mets fan.  Many mornings she discussed how s

Turnpike Series First Pitch: Mets vs. Phillies 9/11/09
The New York Mets (62-78) are at Citizens Bank Park to face the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies (79-59) in a National League East show down. It has been the tale of two seasons. The Mets acquired K-Rod who declared his new team "the team to beat". I guess he is not the prophet that Jimmy Rollins was.
