Phillies March Madness! Vote for WTTTB!

Written by Mike Mariano | 23 March 2010

Little did I know, there's a Phillies March Madness style, 65 blog tournament going on at The Phield.  Basically, all Phillies blogs in a showdown to see which is the best based on fan voting.  When I first heard of this phenomenon at the Good Phight, I was irate.  How the hell didn't we get into this?!?  Then, to my surprise, we're the #10 seed in the Salisbury Region. And wouldn't you know it, but we pulled off the upset over Phils-ville #7 in the opening round!  Boom!  We're the Team to Beat is still rolling right now in our second round match-up against #2 seed Finger Food (whom I've never heard of, so we've definitely got a chance!).

WTTTB needs you!  To vote for us to make it into the Sweet 16.  Vote. Vote. Vote.  And maybe I'll write something interesting around here for a change!

Look at the wonderful things they had to write about us in the preview of our first round match-up:

10. WE’RE THE TEAM TO BEAT

Driving force: Mike Mariano

Mike Mariano is a Phillies fan. Matt Ryan is a Mets fan. They decided to combine forces and write a dueling blog, each one spinning opinion about their favorite teams as the rivalry continues. They combine posts when both teams get embroiled with each other heavily. Of course, it’s not much of a rivalry now, but the writing is crisp and the site is clean. The concept is just great, and that really makes the blog stand out from the pack. Consider We’re the Team to Beat a strong 10 seed, probably worthy of a lower number.

I love this tournament concept and hopefully we can Cornell-style bash our way into the Sweet 16.  Let's get it.  I'll put up the Voting link when the second round voting begins for our region.

First of all, how the hell did they know who Matt Ryan was!?!  Phillies still the team to beat and I'm still the blogger to beat around here!
