I’m offended this image is gracing this great website.

so I have a special hatred for anything that came from that city (except the Declaration on Independence, the Constitution, Cheesesteaks, and Rocky). What pisses me off the most is that in my 4 years there (2002-2006), I don’t think I saw more than 10 people wearing Phillies apparel, the only team they cared about were the Eagles. Now, all of a sudden, the Phillies are everyones favorite team, and you see people wearing Phillies crap all the time. Nobody even talks about the Eagles anymore. One of my best friends, a “die-hard” Phillies fan, just posted on his blog about how he went out and bought Phillies gear for the first time since the John Kruk era. Jimmy Rollins was right, they ARE front-runners.

So, in short, LETS GO RAYS (or Red Sox, if they pull off the comeback). I’m hoping Scott Kazmir throws the second World Series no-hitter against them, at least we will have contributed something to embarrassing the Phillies.

If the Sox and Phillies play in the World Series, I’m cheering for simultaneous catastrophic earthquakes that destroy both cities. Bud Selig will declare a tie, no doubt.

“Well, MLB looks like its gonna get the Series we’ve all been waiting for – Tampa Bay versus the Phucking Assholes.”

I’ll be rooting for the Rays, of course, but the Phils earned this. I was pulling for them over the 84-win (good for 8th best in the NL) Fightin’ MannyTorres who every shit-for-brains baseball writer had suddenly fallen in love with.

I know I’m in the minority here, but I don’t think there’s any reason to begrudge the Phils this year. It wasn’t like last season when the Mets handed them the NL East crown on a silver platter. The Phillies were just better this year, in spite of the Mets taking the head-to-head.

And if (god forbid) the Red Sox manage to win the AL crown, I’ll be pulling for the Phils over the New Evil Empire.

I saw a video of their fans celebrating last night, and one of them had a giant “Ya Gotta Believe” banner. I’ve actually seen/heard Phils fans use that phrase before. They think just b/c Tug McGraw played for them for a few years, they’re allowed to steal OUR phrase. Phuckheads….

I give them a lot of credit. They had the clutch hits in Sept and now Oct. I can’t stand them and wont root or them, but they deserve to be there.

My best friend is a Mets fan living down here in the Tampa Bay area and I was pulling for the Mets to get into the playoffs; but I knew once you guys added your third Reyes to your roster that it was the end, and I’m sorry about that. The Rays will take care of this problem, and you guys can feel free to revel in yet another soul-crushing dissapointment for the Philadephia area that the Tampa Bay area seems to have a distinct knack of delivering to that area’s teams and fans.
