· To be consuming local morning media in Philly today is to witness a kind of lovefest usually reserved for, you know, that time we actually won the World Series. But don’t get us wrong: WE ARE NOT COMPLAINING. The Fox29 Twitter account has been experiencing a grand mal seizure for about 8 hours now, Tourette’s-ing amazing facts about the deal. Kind of like everyone on Facebook!

· Further proof that Ruben Amaro is an evil genius: Deal comes in the dead heat of Xmas shopping season. How many people you think are getting Phils tickets this year? (ATTN. MOM: HINT.)

· And somehow, this is all so much sweeter because of assholes like this who just had their whole worldview fucked with because somewhere, a man followed his heart.
