why the phillies will win

Because Philadelphia needs it!

A lot of hoop-la has been made of the long suffering cubbie fans ( and rightfully so, it's a 100 years of no ticker tape, the curse of the billie goat is catchy and wrigley field is one of the 5 most recognizable stadiums in the US.) and granted chicago will always be the cub's city but didn't they have the white sox win 3 years ago? What about MJ? And the super bowl shuffling bears?

Chi-town has had it's glorious moments.

But what about the poor people of Philly? When's the last time the streets were blocked off for a celebatory parade?! Think about it....give up? 1983, Dr. J's only title.

That's only 26 years most cynical pundits say.

Well let's go thru what the philly phans (the 4th largest tv market in the country!!) have endured since that faithful NBA season shall we:

This is "we talking about practice" suffering fans. Where the 76ers toyed with the fans after stunning the Lakers in A.I's statement of a win in the first game. Then in game two made a furious run to cut the game within 3 around the 2 minute mark and let Fisher and Rob Horry beat them. The city was full of optimisim expecting to take 2 out 3 at home and send the boys back with a fighting chance in LA to dethrone the defending champs!

Lay an egg more like it.

Kobe and Shaq came in dominated and left planning parade rap lyrics.



This is "the best we have is Mitch Williams?" suffering fans. Joe Carter sent a ballot to the hall of fame on us fans. The Lenny Dykstra loving fans.

The fans who talked themselves into the Reggie on defense and Randall on offense temptation. The "I wasn't the one in the huddle throwin up" Eagle fans. The Andy Reid era fans (have another cheese steak big guy!) The 6 minute 2 score strategy Philly fans.


Lets not forget....the Phillies are the losingest franchise in mlb history! Over 1000 losses, 1000 people!!!

It's been some time, a time where alot of alcohol was consumed and Malboros chain smoked, all in effort to move on in a city that's expecting the worse to surface everytime they're teams get the closest...

It's time for some ticker tape in Philly!

They need it.
