Phillies! Phillies! Phillies!

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio


Twenty-eight years since the Phillies won the World Series.

Twenty-five years since Philadelphia won anything!

But we fuckin' did tonight!

Finally!

I'll tell you something. Being a Philadelphia sports fan is even harder than being a Democratically-leaning libertarian independent. (I mean, at least the Democrats win something every decade or so.)

Oh, and I hope David Plouffe is enjoying tonight's celebration.

If you're a PA swing state voter — or just sympathetic to underdogs — give some love to the Phils in the comments.

Update (12:29): No way I could possibly sleep right now. Even if I wanted to, which I don't. I waited my entire adult life to experience this. Thanks to David and Cube for indulging my extremely partisan sportsmanshippery.

I'll tell you something. I've never felt so sad to have moved from Philadelphia to New York since I first moved here three years ago.

I wish I was there for the chaos.

  3. Summer camp (Reeders, PA 18352) 1980: The Philly Fanatic sodomized me and I thank you your indulgence. This brought back nightmares. There might still be green fibers in private places. Can you or Palin spring for a rape kit?

    I can totally appreciate a Cubs fans' distress, and I can empathize. I really can. However, let me ask you this? Have ye not the Bulls? Have ye not experienced a city's sensation of victory?

    Show me another major metropolitan city that has gone a quarter of a century without a championship win.

    This isn't just a Phillies victory. It's a Philadelphia victory.

  5. Hey, I'm happy for you, but this Cubs fan does not recognize any other fan's championship yearnings, fulfilled or otherwise. Show me more than 100 years of sports futility, and then we can talk.

    But, I am glad that my wife is done with her weekly 2-day stint in the office in Philly. I'm sure she'll have to put up with a ton of 'woowoo' come Monday, though. And, she'll have to take more than her fair share of the phone calls as other employees call in 'sick'.

  6. I'm an old Bob Boone fan, and he was around for the Phillies last win. So congrats. http://straighttalkonmccain.blogspot.com/

  7. Philly is going crazy. 2 hours later and there are still cars racing through the streets blasting their horns and screaming. There are still fireworks going off. This is great. Go Phillies!!

  8. Congrats from a Red Sox fan still pissed we dumped Manny. Was a kid at camp in the Poconos when they won with Carlton during the summer. The Philly Fanatic raped me.
