Fun fact:

this was the third straight year the final out in a World Series was a strikeout

 

[Jimmy 440]

I bet the party's still going on in the lots !

This is the first time I was able to stay up and see the final out of the World Series in about 10 years.

1st off....congrats to all Phillies fans especially my best man from wedding(sending a shout out eventhough he is not here...LOL), Danny!

....You man you!!


Now to this post....CURSE??!! When you haven't won since BEFORE cars or the telephone was created...THAT is a curse. 28 years is not a curse....a small drought, yes. But NOWHERE near a curse....

25 years with no championships despite teams in all four major sports is certainly [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_billy_penn[/ame].

If it were just the Phillies, sure, nothing surprising about going 28 years between championships in a league that now has 30 teams.

Last night was one of the best nights ever... I cannot wait for my parade on Friday

25 years with no championships despite teams in all four major sports is certainly a curse of sorts.

Sorry you are still wrong.

I believe it was the curse of William Penn... At city hall, there is a statue of William Penn on the top of the building. Since it was built, no building was allowed to be taller than Penn, in the mid-80's that came to an end and (until last night) no Philly team won a championship.

If the Cubs have a curse for going 100 seasons without a championship, how is that any different than the city of Philadelphia missing out on 100 potential titles through its four major sports teams (25 years x 4 championships per year)? One hundred different seasons in a row is a lot, especially for a large market city.
