Even though they broke the Dodgers' hearts? I'm just trying to see the history of this - I know it's never ok to root for the MFYs EVER but wondering how it all started and if it was ever okay!Coophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961774688700021954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-6017237332306898172009-10-29T15:09:21.001-04:002009-10-29T15:09:21.001-04:00It's the same as the emperor saying, "Com...It's the same as the emperor saying, "Come, Skywalker.

It's easy for me to figure out though on the record I am not exactly rooting for either, more so for the Yanks to lose. I agree, I tried to discredit the Phillies as much as I could but I can't any longer. They ARE that good.Coophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961774688700021954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36516653.post-70240439043489970702009-10-29T12:57:42.255-04:002009-10-29T12:57:42.255-04:00i don't see this how this is rocket science. ...i don't see this how this is rocket science. i'm against steroids and $200M payrolls and DH softball league rules being rewarded, i'm against parades in my backyard, and most of all, i'm against the notion that somehow yankee fans are suffering because they haven't won in a whole nine years. philly may be a city of savages but it's not one i need to visit regularly. and i envy the phillies organization more than i hate it.dykstrawnoreply@blogger.com
