its a curse on a city. 25 years to be exact. i mean why its a curse is because all the big 4 teams have sucked..... sereisly if it was the just the phillies would it be a curse?

Uh, "seriously", 2 other cities haven't won in like 17 years, Minnesota and DC. What another 8 years and they'd be cursed too?

It IS possible for a city to have 4 god awful teams.

No....Philly has never had four god awful teams ever.

A little different in the sense Philly has had 4 teams in this town over those 25. DC and Minn hasn't

Well not god awful, just non-championship winning teams.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

They've never 4 good teams either.

 

[Dark Donnie]

They've never 4 good teams either.

2004 3 of 4 teams made there conference finals...not sure how many times that's been done.

Last year 3 of 4 teams made the playoffs and the other missed by one game so yeah they have had 4 good team so they have had 4 good teams.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Brewers "are expected to announce Ken Macha as their new manager" this week.

Macha, who managed the A's to a 368-280 record from 2003-2006, apparently beat out Bob Brenly and Willie Randolph for the job.

For Spidey

I don't really care. Good for them. Good for you. It's still not as sickening as 2000.

Please tell me Harry Kalas didn't say "See ya, New York" on the jumbotron after they won. That's just sad.

The Philadelphia Soul winning hurts the most

So, it was a typical night in Philly?

Yeah................ sounds great.

"We just won the Championship, lets celebrate by destroying things."

I will never understand that.

 

[Erzengel]

Well it's their first championship after 25 years after you know being cursed and all.

 

[Sarge 2.0]

If by that you mean it was way more awesome than a typical night in New York, then yes.

 

[Sarge 2.0]

Yeah................ sounds great.

"We just won the Championship, lets celebrate by destroying things."

I will never understand that.

There was free beer and stuff was getting set on fire. So yes, it was great.

It's not their first championship in 25 years. The Soul won the Arena Bowl. That counts!
