The Phinal Phour Is Upon Us!

It started with 65 blogs. It is down to 4. Yes, I am talking about the now locally famous Phield. In the beginning, every Phillies blog known to man was put in a field of 65 similar to the NCAA Tournament and the people voted for the winner. From the beat writers, to newspaper columnists, to purely fan generated blogs, both Phillies related and multi-sport blogs whose coverage includes the Phillies (my blog is not baseball-y enough to have gotten consideration in The Phield as a multi-sport blog), the Phield has seen them all and has seen 61 of them fall by the wayside.

The 4 remaining blogs are the blogs that you might consider the usual suspects (if blogger's real name is publicly known this time but also go by an alias, the alias is in parentheses). The 700 Level written by Enrico Campitelli, Jr., Matt P., Kulp, and Andrew Unterberger. The Fightins written by Mike Meech (meech.one), Dash Treyhorn, Chamomiles Davis, Howdy S. Thompson (How Do You Spell Retard?), Tug Haines, Chris Jones, and Patrick Fisher (fuckthemets). Beerleaguer written by Jason Weitzel. The Zo Zone written by Todd Zolecki.

There are no Cinderellas in this Phinal Phour which means the potential for epic showdowns is extremely high. Without a doubt, these are the 4 biggest names in the Phillies blogosphere and all four of them are great in their own special and unique way. But there can only be one champion, and that is where you come in. Voting has begun in the Phinal Phour and The 700 Level is taking on The Fightins (click here for a preview) and Beerleaguer is taking on The Zo Zone (click here for a preview) with the winner to meet for the championship in a few days.

Before I give you the link to vote and my official endorsement of The Phield (I bet you are on pins and needles right now), here is the last and final impassioned plea of all 4 voters trying to win over the Phillie Phaithful.

The Fightins
The Zo Zone
The 700 Level
Beerleaguer

And now the moment you have all been waiting for. Don't get me wrong, all four are fantastic blogs and are worthy of being in the Phinal Phour. After hours and hours of thinking and all 4 blogs on their hands and knees begging me to endorse them I have officially decided to endorse The Fightins in the Phinal Phour. VOTE FIGHTINS IN THE PHINAL PHOUR! You have until 8:00 PM ET Wednesday to do so. So don't just sit around on your arse and do nothing, vote! All you have to do is click here and VOTE VOTE VOTE! for The Fightins

For updates, follow @ThePhield on Twitter. I will post here The Phield's announcement of the winners tomorrow night as well as the subsequent Phield Championship Match as well as my latest endorsement shall The Fightins falter against The 700 Level.
