Heard in the Hall

Mayor Street is one guy who doesn't have to search high and low for a Phillies ticket. He has that stadium box at the ballpark, remember? So will he use it to cheer on the team at the two games to be played here? "I'll do my best to attend them," Street said this morning.

What the mayor is certain about is what he'll be wearing the next few days.

"I'm going to wear this jacket everyday as long as we are in the playoffs," he said after a news conference."This jacket" is a semi-shiny red one that he received the day Jimmy Rollins was honored in City Hall, some weeks back.

Moreover, Street wants the entire city decked out in red tomorrow. It's about pride, pride, pride.
The Phillies, you see, aren't made up of "a team of superstars." They are a team with a few superstars, or as Street put it: "We are just a blue collar, hard-working team that knows how to get the job done."

And as for those Colorado Rockies arriving in town, he wishes them a good visit here. "I want them to enjoy their stay in Philadelphia, as long as they lose the game."
