Phillies Phind a Way to Survive!

Image by reeltor99 via FlickrIts not easy being a Phillies Phan. (No that's not a missspelling  - that's just how we roll in the city of brotherly love!)

After sweeping their series with the Cincinnati Reds , it phelt like the Phillies triumph in the championship series and another World Series appearance was a phoregone conclusion.   But when the Phillies split the home games and lost the phirst two games in San Phrancisco it seemed like we were once again doomed to be a city living with phailure.

Last night the Phillies managed to pull victory phrom the jaws of depheat and phound a way  to phoil the Giants and phorce game six. I'll be at Citizens Park to watch, and I hope that they can prevail and have a threepeat of the world series. And maybe, just maybe be the phinal victor. There's always hope - as Phillies Phans, that's just what we do!

Go Phillies!

Phillies World Series Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Well the Phillies are the World Champions. I never thought I would be blogging about that, but here we are.

Our four major teams haven't won a championship since 1983 and that's somewhere around 100 opportunities we have missed. I was at a couple of them like the 2001 NBA playoffs against the Lakers, and the 2004 Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, and the major difference here was that at the end of the game, our entire city celebrated. Not a bad difference.
Enjoy the music of the string band that was playing at the left field entrance of Citizens Bank Park the evening that the 5th game started.
