Giants vs. Phillies

By Karina

Tomorrow, the National League Championship series between the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies begins. Speaker Pelosi and Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) have made a high-stakes wager with Ghirardelli and Hershey?s chocolates on the line (the winner of the bet will receive a chocolate supply from the loser?s district):

?I am not sure which part of this bet will be sweeter, the Phillies in the World Series again, or enjoying Ghirardelli?s chocolate while watching the Phillies in the World Series,? Specter said. ?I commend Speaker Pelosi for sticking with her team ? but Charlie Manuel?s lineup is just unstoppable and unhittable.?

“San Francisco’s Ghirardelli chocolate will be safe from Senator Specter: the Giants are going all the way,? Pelosi said. ?I look forward to enjoying some Hershey’s ? preferably, dark ? chocolate while watching our beloved Giants in the World Series.”
