Champion Swoon? Sure, there's nothing to be too alarmed about here, the Phightin's have already clinched their division and homefield throughout the playoffs, but a current five-game skid has the team two games shy of 100 wins with seven games left in the regular season. See if the Phils can get back on a roll tonight against the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park. Fourth starter Roy Oswalt (8-9) is scheduled to take the mound for the Phillies. From $8 7:05 p.m.
Don't Leave Now: The love of John Hughe's '80s teen comedies won't die (at least until all the Gen Xers who grew up on them do). As a testament to their enduring popularity, OMD, one of the bands who made it big in the states on the strength of a single song ("If You Leave," from the Pretty In Pinksoundtrack), is still alive and kicking. They play tonight at the TLA 7:00 p.m.
Luck O' the Irish: The Irish do a great many things right, and beer is certainly near the top of the list. Enjoy some of the Emerald Isle's finest at a proper Irish Bar, The Bards, where you can enjoy a massive happy hour: $5 Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks, house wines, Stoli martinis and cosmos, amongst many other options. 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Going out can be a gamble, so why leave it up to chance? Stack the deck every afternoon by peeping Play's Dance Card.
