U-G-L-Y II

Not to be outdone by the new cheesy Red Sox hat, the Phillies will wear their former powder blue road uniforms this year. Calm down, retro lovers - it's a one-day deal to help the Brewers celebrate the 1970s.

Christine doesn't think the Phillies wanted to do it:

Scott Brandreth, the Phillies' director of merchandising, said that is the only game planned for the retro uniforms at this time.

The event was at the Brewers' urging, but Brandreth said the Phillies "were happy to participate."

She also thinks several Phillies - notably Ryan Howard, Carlos Ruiz and Joe Blanton - are going to look very funny wearing powder blue from head to toe.

Football: I want to buy into the Jets, but I can't. I'm picking both home teams, the Colts and Saints, to advance to the Super Bowl.
