It’s time
I’ve held myself in check since October but I would like to say I am still on cloud 9 when I think about what the Philadelphia Phillies accomplished this year! World Series Champions…I’m quite certain there aren’t many in this state that were thinking it was possible except for us few legitimate Phillies fans here.
In fact, I believe it was on this site where my brother actually insinuated that the Mets had all but locked up the N.L. East title and was looking on to bigger and better things…little did he know that those better things were just better tee times.
Now on to this year. The Phillies have managed to bring back most of the team, minus Pat “The Bat”. This does make me somewhat sad, however at the time they were in communication it was a drastically different market. All that said, once the Howard deal (albeit through arbitration or long-term agreement) then the off-season will be all but over and a run at another championship can begin. With all the youth that is now coming into their prime, and the success they had in the playoffs could they make another appearance in October? One can hope.
From what I understand, Vegas has high odds of a Red Sox/Phillies Series…while this could make my life a bit complicated, I would not be opposed to the Phillies against anyone next year.
As stated before, I have waited quite some time to express myself about the breaking of the curse this past October. Is it ironic that the year I make it to my Mecca in Philly is the same year that the curse of William Penn is no more? Thanks to Elaine for getting me that present, because of you we were able to spark something special and be present at the beginning of quite an amazing run.
