You know, at first I was irritated by the folks in this thread trying to have a piss all over us. But then I realized something. For once in a very long time, I have a response for all of you. A response that has no counter-argument, no witty riposte, no comeback whatsoever.





We won.

We got pushed by riot cops, then we got pictures taken with them!

It was the only time we could drive from 18th street, past many cops, with two guys and one red hulk hand in the back of Tom's truck screaming at the top of our lungs, high-fiveing random passerbyes, all the way to 44th street without getting pulled over. The city is a mess and I'm loving every minute of it.

Yeah Quagz, the last time the Yankees won was against my Mets. Only, the Mets and the Phillies have gotten better since then, and you guys keep getting worse.

I guess it makes sense to dwell in the past for you, the years have not been kind.

Every year, apart from this one. My statement stands.

Point is, your getting the bronze 40oz and the Yankees cap with a douche pinned to it for your awards this year. Grats in advance.

Philly Hearts Harden Waiting For The Next Champ
BY FRANK DEFORD

“You see, not since the 76ers won the NBA in 1983 has a Philadelphia team won a championship.”

Morning Edition, October 22, 2008 · Whatever happens on Nov. 4, I will always remember Sarah Palin as the bravest of the national candidates.

Or the most foolish. Take your pick. For, you see, a couple of weeks ago, when the Philadelphia Flyers opened their NHL season, the courageous hockey mom came onto the ice, her innocent little daughter in tow, to drop the first puck.

Understand now, this is Philadelphia, City of Brotherly Love, where sports fans have been known to boo Santa Claus — and children looking for Easter eggs.

And here comes a politician daring to intrude onto the Flyers' ice. Standing before a phalanx of charging moose is child's play by comparison. Even before the governor stepped into the rink, a special Web site had been created with the main message, "It's time to hip check the right wing."

Well, somehow Palin escaped to campaign in that kinder, gentler, small-town America. The best ears on the premises estimated the booing was either only "resounding" or "deafening." Not bad. When Donovan McNabb, who was to become the veritable savior of the Eagles, was drafted by the team, the boos registered on the Richter scale.

The TV show that takes place in Philadelphia is Cold Case. Any TV show dealing with Philly fans would be called Hard Case.

Philadelphia P-A is the toughest sports burg in the country. The Red Sox fans are a nation. The Cubs fans are a support group. Philly fans are a pandemic. Only now, we're supposed to feel sorry for Philadelphia.

You see, not since the 76ers won the NBA in 1983 has a Philadelphia team won a championship. There are 11 other U.S. cities that, like Philly, have a team in all four major team sports — and all of them have had champions in this quarter-century.

Well, add it all up — and if the Phillies lose the World Series to Tampa Bay, Philadelphia teams will then have failed to win a championship in exactly 100 straight seasons.

Of course, given that the Phillies last year became the first and only team in all humankind ever to lose 10,000 games, a mere 100 seems like small potatoes. The Phillies are to losing what the Zimbabwe dollar is to currency.

And speaking of money, one local columnist, Frank Fitzpatrick of the Inquirer, postulates that good Philadelphia baseball and bad economy go together. The old Philadelphia Athletics were champions when the market crashed in '29, and invariably, he notes, the Phillies usually enjoy what modest success they have posted in recessionary times.

They won their one and only World Series in 1980, when the prime rate hit 20 percent for the first time and Jimmy Carter got booted out of the White House precisely because Ronald Reagan kept pointing out that everybody in the country was worse off.

So — you feel sorry for poor old Philadelphia, OK — root for the Phillies. But first, put your money in a mattress.
