Utley And Harper Star In Amazing “Always Sunny,” London Series Promo
Those familar with “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” will know Rob McElhenney’s character Mac, is obsessed with Chase Utley. But according to a recent promo for the Phillies-Mets upcoming London Series, Utley and Harper may now be competing for that obsession.
In an “Always Sunny” crossover, Utley and Harper joined forces to promote the game and gave us one of the best promos in recent history. You can check it out below.
The Utley and Harper London Series Promo
Now that is how you promote a game. Who knew Chase Utley was the jealous type? We often think of Utley being a bit stoic, but it is always nice to see his personality come out. Uually that only happens at World Series parades, or when he is talking about how much he hates the Mets.
Also good for Harper getting in a joke at Utley’s expense by telling him if he wanted hitting advice he would go to Jimmy Rollins.
If you aren’t familiar with the bit, all you need to know is that in “Always Sunny,” Rob’s character Mac is obsessed with Utley. Utley himself has cameoed in multiple episodes, where we find out Mac sent endless letters to Utley, asking if they could have a catch.
But Utley apparently doesn’t like his biggest fan having a similar obsession with Harper.
The Phillies take on the Mets, in London next Saturday and Sunday. It is the 2nd straight year the MLb has done this London Series, with the Cubs and Cardinals playing there last season
Saturday’s game starts at 1:10, but it will be a usually early 10:10 am first pitch for Sunday’s game. The last time the Phillies played the Mets, they took 3 out of 4 games.
Now we might also see the payoff to this promo, where we find out which player Mac will pick, Utley, or Harper.

The All-Time Lineup Of Phillies Bench Players
2B- Tomas Perez
The early 2000s was not the best era for the Phillies. It was far from the worst, but there was not much going on in terms of winning. But Super Utility Man Tomas Perez quickly became a fan favorite.
He had every thing Philly fans love in a player. Most notably, heart and effort. He was a bright spot in that era. He was not strictly a 2nd baseman, but with Jimmy cementing himself as the SS in that era, he played a lot of 2nd. Wherever he played, he won the hearts and minds on Philadelphia, and earned a spot on this list.
3B- Greg Dobbs
Dobbs has 330 fewer Pinch Hit plate appearances than the Phillies all-time leader. Despite that huge gap, he is only 6 off of having the most pinch hit RBIs in franchise history.
In 2007 he lead the league in pinch hit RBIs. He followed that up by hitting .355 the next year and leading the league with 22 pinch hits.
His career after 2008 went downhill, but he was a pretty important part of the 2007 and 2008 teams.
