Google Says...Dude, Did You Check Out the Phillies Parade Yet?

With the Philadelphia Phillies taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, Google Trends is indicating that many are already looking to book their workday afternoon stroll through a sea of humanity—No. 3 and No. 5 on their hot keyword searches is "Phillies Parade" and "Phillies World Series Parade." This is what happens when your city hasn't won anything in the past 25 years outside of wing contests: the locals get restless. If Cole Hamels doesn't come through tonight, there are going to be a lot of bleary-eyed ruffians roaming Broad Street with thoughts of yet another of the team's more than 10,000 losses fresh in their minds. If he does, though, you might hit traffic on the way home—the drunken-violent variety.
