Phillies NL Champs – bring us the Yankees
I am getting used to having a winner in town. We were at the game on Wednesday and seeing your team clinch is got to be one of the coolest things for a sports fan. The poor Dodgers didn’t know what hit them – after Monday’s crushing loss – the win on Wednesday was a formality. Now I want the Yankees.
The Angels are a good team, and if they come back to win the series, they would have big momentum on their side. My choosing the Yankees has nothing to do with that though. I want the Yankees because beating them with make the rest of the league stand up and take notice. I have no doubt that the Phillies are the best team in the majors. We have what everyone else wants, even the Yankees. They have a couple of guys that were around in 2000, but most of them weren’t. The Phillies walk with a swagger and a confidence that reveals a true champion.
Bring on the Yankees. Let’s see if the Phils can bring “mystique and aura” down a peg.

No – because unlike a team who prefers having no challengers (hence spending twice as much money as everyone else) we like our challenges here in Philly. We relish the role of the underdog. Being down 3-1 is only bad if we lose – but if we bring it back to NYC, and do the impossible – oh how sweet it would be to put that dagger in the heart. So much better than a sweep IMO.
