The purpose of this exclusive The Fightins dot com feature is to foster a rivalry between the Phillies beat writers by keeping a running tally of who scoops who on Twitter and turn it into a year-long dick joke. You can play along by reading their tweets in this convenient list.
Their scores as of March 8, 2010:
| Matt Gelb (@magelb) | 28 points |
| Ryan Lawrence (@ryanlawrence21) | 18 points |
| Todd Zolecki (@ToddZolecki) | 18 points |
| Scott Lauber (@ScottLauber) | 16 points |
| Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyCSN) | 11 points |
| David Murphy (@HighCheese) | 10 points |
| Andy Martino (@phillieszone) | 7 points |
| John Finger (@jrfinger) | 4.5 points |
Matt Gelb continues to destroy the competition in the face of obvious attempts the others have taken at sabotaging the rookie’s efforts at reporting on the Phillies (evidenced here). In spite of these shenanigans, he refuses to complain and just continues to kick everyone else’s ass for the second straight week.
Meanwhile, John Finger continues his tailspin with stuff like this:
And Ryan Lawrence earned himself a bonus point for this photograph:

FOIST
Ha ha, Martino. Dude’s all class.
Just got my tickets for opening day. What is the cheapest way for me to get to RFK from Philly?
Greezy, you got scammed.
@ Greezy-start walking now.
arrives at RFK: “where fuck is everyone ryone one one…”
How did i get scammed?
Ohhhhh i see now i called it RFK. Thanks for the help asshole but you know what i mean. Are there any bus trips i can get in on?
https://www.boltbus.com/
Greezy, last year I just took Amtrak down there and hailed a cab at Union Station, fare was like $7.
@ Greezy:
If you live anywhere near the Hatboro/Willow Grove area…all of the Lee’s Hoagie Houses in the area are doing a trip to DC for the 1st game fo the season.
did someone say CLIFF LEE?
I said Tyler Walker
I’ll vouch for the Bolt Bus. It’s clean, cheap, and there’s Wi-Fi. Way cheaper than Amtrak, also.
also somehow I was not yet following Matt Gelb, thanks Tug
Season ticket package arrived today!
going to opening day as well so frigen pumped
I’ve got all my shit in order now. So glad I dont have to drive. Thanks for the help fellas.
PS I will be the guy in the Utley jersey punching Strasburg in the dome. Keep an eye out for me.
haha greezy, just bustin your balls. i’ll be there too.. i usually drive. hard to lug beers around on public trans. I drive and park about 4 blocks from the stadium in one of their lame 20 car capacity lots. sure beats waiting for a train after the game is over.. around rush hour.
I would love to be there, but, being that I’m a first year teacher, I feel it not be the right thing to do to take off the day I come back from Spring Break. Even if it is shortened by 2 days now because of the snow. I will have plenty of time to see the Phils over the summer Hallday.
See what I did there?!
watrick, is that the day we celebrate halls and shit
I have at least 5 teachers on the bus I arranged down to Washington. I think they actually have off that day, though.
should be a natinal holiday
I can’t way I won’t have a radio on in my room during the game, though.
And most of my kids celebrate halls everyday.
back in the day i was quite familiar
Yeah, but more kids know stairwell numbers than their classroom numbers at my school.
