Phillies lose to Yankees 4-2 in 2009 World Series
Well, that sucked. The Phillies succumbed to a very unlikeable and, in my opinion, far-less talented Yankees team in the 2009 World Series. If you ask me, the turning point was that 2-game home stand. There the momentum really shifted away from the Phils.
Now I get to watch replays of these over-payed jerkwads celebrating on ESPN for the next 3 days. Fun!
Phillies win 2008 World Series
Oh man, you have no idea how great it is to write this. It was even better watching it happen. Not since 1980 have the Phillies come home with a world title. This year, they did it. What a deep bullpen, what bats and, as seen in the final moments of Game 5, what an amazing Brad Lidge.
It’s in: Phillies taking on the Rays
So the Rays won last night, 3-1 over Boston, winning the ALCS. I'm not sure which team would've been better going up against the Phillies (TJ made a good point about the Sox being complacent as they've won the title already, multiple times), but it doesn't matter. It's time for Philly to get one. It's about time we bring a trophy back to the city with the greatest and most loyal fans in the world.
Go Phillies!
Phils flatten Dodgers, head to the World Series
It's been 15 years since the Phillies have been to the World Series. They're the losingest franchise in sports history and after cleaning up the Dodgers in 5 games, are going to face the best of the AL next week in the World Series. What a time to be alive!
