Hi, I'll be Your Author This Evening

Hello out there to Phillies Nation! My name is Mike Muller and I'm joining the team here at Driven to Deep Center. Skeeter (or Mikey, as I've known him for eight years) is my roommate and frequent (hetero) companion at Citizens Bank Park. I've been a Phillies fan all my life, especially in the storybook 1993 season when I was eight years old. Since you'll be hearing me blather on about every bit of Phillies minutiae over the 2007 season, I figured I'd tell you a little bit about myself, as well as the shit I'm obsessed with and will probably reference a lot.






  • South Park and 24, Eric Cartman and Jack Bauer are models any young man should live by.

  • Hockey: my Marilyn Monroe to Baseball's Jackie Kennedy. Although with the way the Flyers are playing this year, I guess this season is when Marilyn is found drugged up, naked, and dead.


  • Back to the Future, one of the most culturally significant films of the 20th Century.


  • Boston. My family is from there so I have a certain affinity for the Red Sox and Pats.


  • My favorite Phillies of all time are Curt Schilling and Tug McGraw.


  • I'm not a stathead, I'm an old-fashioned Baseball guy. I care a lot about the way a player carries himself and the attitude he has toward the game. I hate guys who play for the paycheck.


  • There isn't an obscenity in the English language to express my distate for Scott Boras...but I'll try. I fucking hate Scott Boras.

  • Aaron Rowand WILL hit 91 Home-Runs this year.




That's about it, really. I love Baseball and I'm excited to be writing about a team that I think is gonna be fun to watch this year. I'm no different than any other Baseball fan you know, I like boobs, beer, Dollar Dog Night, and Ryan Howard. So here's hoping you get a few laughs from my feeble posts and maybe a new perspective on the Fightin' Phils.

Who are you?....and how did you get onto my page?

And I hope you never mention Rowand's '91 homeruns' again.

Also...keep in mind, I'm the king of this shit. However, according to some (Carson, you non-GM bastard) I am the king of porn. Eh, I'll take it.

I'll like your ideals, they are definately in agreement with mine for the most part.
I really like this blog and I check it routinely I'll eventually add your link to my site (not that it matters) when I get around to editing the layout again.
So I like forward to reading posts by people who see the '93 Phillies the same way I do (I was 7 during those playoffs).

And for the record skeeter I'm the king of porn though I don't know if I should have told people that.

Muller said...

Yes, Skeet, You are in fact the King of Shit. I live with you, I know.

By the way, Fat Ted, thanks for reading and hooray for porn! When Pat Burrell strikes out to end the game in the 9th, it's always good to be able to fall back on a good lesbian scene.

PS. Your blog rules dude! Go Phils!

Skeeter said...

Be proud of the porn. I am. Maybe one day we can sit and have an intelligent conversation on the stars such as Jenna Jameson, Brianna Banks, Devon and Ron Jeremy.
...All pioneers if you ask me

And yea, I was 8 in 1993. I think we are due a playoff-worthy team.

Skeeter said...

And godammit Muller, I forgot you don't like Burrell ...this could get ugly.

GM-Carson said...

GM-Carson is here to rear his ugly head...

1) Muller- loved that fact that you used "fuck" in your post.

2) You're not allowed to hate Burrell, it's against manhood.

3) Porn is awesome (well, when I was in college at least) and Sky Lopez is my sex goddess.

4) Curt Schilling is a pompous ass, but a pompous ass that can pitch.

5) I'm glad there's another site like WSBGM's around, the more humor and Phils the better.

Excellent, a fellow hockey fan is a good thing.

Here's one of my ideals in terms of hockey.

I think it's a tragedy that Tocchett's 22 and Dave Brown's 21 are not retired numbers. That Forsberg should not be skating around in any type of athletically stylized skate to correct his messed up feet in Dave Brown's jersey.

Skeeter said...

WSBGMs has spawned this site. Hey Carson, want to eventually take over the world? That's basically why I started this site. Complete world domination

And furiousball, I BET Tocchett's number won't get retired
...like that reference to his little gambling ring?

Muller said...

Carson:

1.)Vocabulary can be very fun. "Fuck" is a prime example.

2.)I don't hate Burell, Mikey exaggerates. I just like to poke fun at him. I hope he knocks in 120 RBIs this year.

3.)Sky Lopez has been one of my favorite porn stars since I first saw her play "Who's In My Mouth?" Her blowjob scenes are like nothing that has ever been seen in the dimensions of reality that we, as humans, can percieve.

4.)Schil DOES talk a big game and sometimes needs to talk to the media less, but he is an AMAZINGLY kind and genuine human being. I met him when I was nine years old after Dr. J had blown me off for an autograph. Schil saw him do t and came over to sign a baseball card for me and talk to me about Little League. Been my favorite player ever since.

5.)That's really cool, especially coming from you guys. Your site ROCKS! Sports and humor go together hand in hand...uless, of course, your name is Skip Bayless, then you're just a fag.

Muller said...

Furiousball:

Great to have more hockey fans around!

Rick Tocchet has been my favorite hockey player since I was six years old. Him and Cam Neely were always fun to watch. So I definately agree that "22" should be retired. Also, met Dave Brown in a Cherry Hill, NJ Ground Round resteraunt around the same age. Nice guy, dunno about retiring his number though. That said, "27" should be retired for both Hextall and Reggie Leach. FUCKIN disgrace. The Flyers make me so mad sometimes. They're like a crazy grilfriend who keeps cheating on you and you swear her off, then she comes to you drunk and crying one night and begs you to take her back...and, of course, I always do. I feel like Bob Clarke raped me for 22 consecutive years.

GM-Carson said...

Sky Lopez is a serious hottie. She almost too hot for porn if that makes sense. And she has actually quit the biz, and is now a Christian rapper of all things?

Loved that you called Skip Bayless a "fag"...you have earned my respect!

Muller said...

...Moment of Silence for Sky Lopez...

Skeeter said...

honestly, Carson...you sort of ruined my day with that

what a waste of talent

Lt. Papi said...

Muller?... the Philly me...

Muller said...

Johnstone, I don't see you anymore.

You don't call...you don't write...
