INTERVIEW: It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney Talks Sports, Show

Occasionally, we like to steal a post from our friends over at FirstCuts. This is one of those occasions. ↵

↵↵The adoration for FX’s It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia on this blog is no secret. Many of us here at SN love this show the way Philly adores Cole Hamels right now. ↵

↵↵Rob McElhenney (right) is the creator and one of the stars of the show. In an interview with FirstCuts, he answered a few Philly sports questions on Thursday and talked about Season Four of Sunny along with what’s to come in the future.↵

↵↵Littmann: Thanks for taking some time out of your busy schedule to answer some questions for our readers. We can’t start this interview off without talking about the World Series. Your thoughts on the Phillies’ Game 1 performance?↵

↵↵McElhenney: I’m excited about the world of sports right now. I mean, how beautiful is Cole Hamels? I think he’s got like a just over 1.00 ERA for the playoffs, like 1.55? One of the stats I looked at today, in his four wins in the postseason, the Phillies only put up an average of 3.5 runs per game. That’s amazing, and they’re all wins!↵

↵↵CL: So are you going to get to any of these games?↵

↵↵RM: Yeah, I’d love to. I went to two of the Dodgers games out here, including the one where they clinched, which was amazing. We’re trying to work something out where I can get back there this weekend, but we’re just finishing up Sunny and starting on our new project, so it’s difficult. But I’m trying desperately. ↵
