not a gripe or grumble...

but come on PHILLIES PHANS! im sure this will start a lot but there has to be some backing here for me (i just came back from a bar, i apologize) :smiley:

Sekliw -

John

P.S. I’m going to keep my backing on my reels, but hope you get a lot wherever you put it.

Phillies fans as in baseball???

What’s a Phillies Phan?

Seriously, congrats to the Phils. They’re a great team and I hope they stomp,
most probably, the Bronx millionaires.

Not necessarily a Philly fan more than a Dodger disliker. Same with the Yankees although I like them more now than I ever have(although that doesn’t say much).

I HATE Manny Ramirez. The guy is so into himself he was in the shower when the Dodgers lost the other night. Even the starting pitcher that was pulled was on the bench encouraging his fellow team mates. Ramirez is an idiot!! Any team that will have him is not worth watching. Glad they got beat. Even the Red Sox saw the light in getting rid of him.

I lived in South Jersey until I was 33. Having the Phillies in the Series is a seriously good thing :D. They dominated the Dodgers! (I also lived in NorCal for 10 years, so seeing the Dodgers lose was also a good thing.)

On to the Bronx!

When I grew up the Eugene Emeralds were a farm team of the Phillies, go Phillies:D

(anyone but NYY)

I like it when my backing is leaving my reel as in big fish rapidly swimming away with my fly in his mouth.

Go Phillies! I hate the Yankees and dislike them even more after they got payrod.

BBW- the funny thing about manny leaving the game to shower was he thought they had the game won already, which wasnt the case obviously haha.

and i too hate the yankees, and even though ill be a little nervous i think we can take them. although it would be nice to also see the angels take a huge comeback to quiet these yankee fans. a phillies/yankees world series is just monumental in sports though : )

a couple of years ago, Major League Baseball ran a series of ads to encourage baseball fans whose teams were out of the running to tune in in October. they featured Tommy Lasorda helping families and friends cheer up those who were too depressed to watch the postseason.

in one, a girl enlists Tommy to get her roommate to come out of the bedroom. he charges up the stairs, knocks on the door, and cries out, ā€œHey! It’s October! It’s when we all cheer against the Yankees! Everyone! To the TV!!ā€

when i saw that for the first time, October became a little less lonely.:cool:

yeah, the Nationals live in my heart, but the Phillies are all we’ve got for October!

I am a proud Pirates fan but I am rooting for the Phillies. The only way I can tolerate baseball is if I am in the game or at the ballpark watching it. I live for football and hockey seasons!

GO PHILLIES!

Do they play football and hockey in PA?

nighthawk, i am a diehard hockey fan also, but i cant say id agree with your team if you stick with pittsburgh, im a flyers fan and am not fond of the penguins at all (put very nicely) :wink:

Pens all the way! If it makes you feel any better I feel the same way about your Flyers as you feel about my Pens. If it doesn’t I don’t really care.:wink:

got to love the sports rivalries :lol:

I moved to West Chester in June 1980, the Phillies won their first Championship that October. I had gone to some games during that season and became hooked on the Phillies. It took another long 28 years before they would get another Championship so it has been trying at times during that span of time. But now with the Phillies on the verge of two in a row it is just awesome to be living in the area. You gotta love how the Phillies win games with 2 outs in the 9th.

:wink:

Ed, not a Ramblin’ Wreck, but my Brother is.

I’m from Downingtown Pa. originally & I’ve always been a Yankee fan. I guess I’m the only one on this board… Go Giants!!! That should fire someone up…

yankees fan? you should be fired up yourself after your game last night :wink:

At least you did not say Cowboy fan.

I am realistic, I can’t bragg too much about the Eagles till they win a Super Bowl. I do want the Yankees in the Series. It has the making of a great one if they don’t choke.
