But, yes, I do agree.<br /><br />Anyhow, look forward to next season, this is the "battle" cry of the Philly fan, "there is always next season". I think the Phillies should be good for awhile and hopefully dominate the NL East.<br /><br />Also, now that baseball is over I can share in your Eagles heartbreak, or triumph, as you've said whatever it happens to be depending on which team shows up.

Not just in the World Series, but all the series. Also I would not have taken your comment as putting the blame on the umps. Anyway, I think you guys have a great shot for next year.Erik Huntoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360667752111326811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-40021816525058428462009-11-05T14:05:33.819-05:002009-11-05T14:05:33.819-05:00"So...typical Yankees fan.

It was a good Series. I was listening to the...kevb,<br />It was a good Series. I was listening to the Phils' announcers last night on WPHT, pre-game, and they had one of the guys from WFAN on. The guy -- wish I could remember who -- was real nice, and at the end, wished the Phils' good luck. There was an awkward silence, and the Phillies' guy says, "You don't mean that." <br />"Yeah, I do," the NY guy says. "We get one more night of great baseball. How is that bad?" Bingo. Very cool.

I'd say they sucked pretty evenly -- I don't blame any of the Phillies' losses on poor umpiring -- but they definitely sucked, and I'm not alone. Even the umpires realized they sucked: the usual practice is to put one rookie ump in the Series, someone who's never officiated a WS game before. This year, in a nod to the furor over bad calls in the postseason, they went with an all-veteran team of umpires. <br /><br />So...typical Yankees fan.
