I really didn’t WANNA buy the Phillies, and now that I have – and now that they’ve won the WS – can I give them back?? I hate the Phillies! I hate Philly fans! Philadelphia itself is OK, but, the Phillies? World Series?? Ugh.
That said, an upstart, worst-to-first, AL team would be worse. SUCK IT American League! 
So, I guess now you’ve got the Red Sox, and… and… i guess that’s about it! 
ps – i’m so annoyed at this World Series, and who to root for in it, I even new-posted over myself! :-p

Thank god the Phillies won it – it would’ve been insufferable to have a team that can’t sell out it’s home park in the playoffs until Game 6 of the ALCS win a World Series. Earn it, Tampa fans. Phillies fans have.

At the very least (and perhaps also at the most!), when a team wins a Championship, and they trot out all the “old timers” from that franchise who’ve won championships to talk on TV and Radio – the Phillies this week will have Steve Carlton and Mike Schmidt from the 1980 team to do the chatting. That, I can handle. Not too many HOFers better than Mike Schmidt to talk on the radio – as he did on Mike&Mike this morning. Good stuff.

Philly’s hooligan fans did exactly what I expected to “celebrate” such an occasion. Its sad, if they weren’t in the NL East I would hate them if their fans weren’t suck obnoxious idiots:
