What does a major league team do to kick-start a moribund offense against the defending world champs? Chase Utley, obviously a big fan of the movie Major League, figured voodoo would do the trick. Here’s the ceremony he came up with in the Phillies’ locker room prior to Game 2 against the Yankees in the Bronx (with video). After losing 8-3 on Tuesday, Philadelphia collected a triple and two homers and beat New York, 6-3, on Wednesday. Bats no longer afraid.
Game 3 tonight. If you see Utley with a live chicken, walk the other way.
So, an eerie start for the Erie warriors as they drop a heartbreaker to the Yankees, nine to nothing. The post game show is brought to you by … Thursday.
