for nabbing the title of:

2008 National League Champions!

We are on our way to the World Series.

I AM Philadelphia's biggest baseball fan.

I was there at the game when we won it. It was soooo amazing to be there. I was a part of history......

So...who do you want to go to the Series and Win???

or am I dumber than I thought lol  btw I LOOOOOVE Philly...def my kind of town

the diamond merchants... is the football team that crunched the philly Eagles... I've lots of theories on that one... but I'll skip over it...

Meanwhile the Phillys had a spectacular win to clinch their National League East division winner slot...   just spectacular... it was a good year for them... and my hope is that they will go all the way to win the World Series....

That possibly could get me otta my slump...  

Alas... the last time the fighin phils were doing that good - I met a lass... Jules Jericho - porn star... during a game involving the Boston Red Sox...  (the Phills were eliminated in the pennant playoffs... but I kept watching anyway)  I miss that lady...

NOT National League Champs.  They still have a few games to go to achieve that.  Like trying to beat the Cubs.

I've liked the team the Phillies have the past few years (even if I hate the park)! They seem to underachieve every year, hopefully this year will be better.

They beat my favorite team the Kansas City Royals in the early 1980's, I think,to win the World Series.  Is that the last time they won the series?  I don't follow baseball very closely anymore and the Royals have sucked for many years now. They had some good teams in the 70's and 80's however.  I was very dissapointed when we lost to the Phillies!

The grim facts are these: The Phillies have the worst record of any professional team playing for at least thirty years in any major American sport.  They are the first professional team in the World to lose 10,000 games.  I don't know how they are going to do during this post season, but --we are not gloating-- we just feel we deserve a little happiness.

Wow, I had no idea! The Royals won 75 games this year.  I believe it's the first year they have lost less than 90 in quite a few years.

Given the Phillies history and since I have no allegiance to any teams in the post season I will lend my moral support to the Phillies to win the World Series. Not sure that will help the cause much though

Of course to know real tragedy, you had to be a Brooklyn Dodger fan like me.  I lived through the Bobby Thompson home run, the losses to the Yankees, finally the 1955 World Series only to be betrayed by Walter O'Malley, a man surpassed in 20th century villainy only by Hitler and Stalin, who took the team to LA.  After a long odessy, I ended up here to root for the Phillies with the history I outlined above.

Really man!  What's with these chicks posting about sports?  "Steelers beating Chargers in a close one last night?"  Doh!!!!  LOL!!!  Anyone who thinks they KNOW who'll win the National League pennant at this point is dillusional.  I mean the only guarantee we have in sports is that the Dallas Cowboys are gonna massacre the Washington Redsk...  Oh, wait a minute.  That didn't work out did it?

It's one of my super powers.  That, and the ability to spot lesbians at 100 yards.

ya know, the ability to turn gold into shit....

You too.


Thank You
XLIII = 4

I think a Chicago -Chicago world series would be cool.


Thank You
2009=27

I just wear a blackbelt, nothing else. Scary my friend, very scary.

my friend.  Follow me to Chicago.

Did you know that the Army Infantry's motto is Follow Me?  Blue shield with a silver sword.

Of course I'm rooting for the Phillies to win it all but a Cubs-ChiSox series would be neat.

And if the Phils fail to make it to the World Series, I will be rooting for the Cubbies.

Get pissed off? Nah. To Philly fans (particularly one who grew up a Brooklyn fan and moved to Philadelphia) there would have to be disappointment to be anger.  It is impossible for us to be disappointed; being let down is what we expect.
