Quick non-wrestling question from tonight's World Series game ...
So what's up with that dark spot on Phillies pitcher Joe Blanton's hat that he touches before every pitch he throws? He has that spot in literally every game.
Sorry, just needed to vent. And how weird is it that all the Rays have Brian Knobs mohawks?
Hope you all enjoyed the PPV tonight. I'll be checking in tomorrow with some stories for ya --

I live in Philly and as an avid sports fan I can tell you that this spot, on his hat, gradually got bigger since he was traded here in mid-July. According to Mitch Williams (the ex-pithcer/current analysist) Blanton's routine consists of throwing the ball (which contains dirt) then wiping his forehead (which contains oil) then touching the brim of his hat. Also Blanton for what ever reason, maybe he's superstitious, doesn't like breaking in new hats and apparently has only been issued one hat since being traded to the Phillies in mid-July. This should explain the spot on his hat.
One more thing, GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah. That's it. He hangs out with Kenny Rogers in the offseason too....
