Well it only took 25 Years but they are back, Yes, the Philadelphia Phillies are in the World Series again! Utley, Howard, Burrell, Hamels, Rollins, Moyer, and all the rest, it is what my buddy Sam has waited for since he was 30. Well it certainly proves if you live long enough, your team will eventually come around. I guess since the Eagles, Flyers, and Sixers are also rans before the season started, the City of Brotherly Love is pinning its's hopes on the once lowly Phillies to beat an upstart team in the Tampa Bay Rays(formerly, the Devil Rays). It also appears that in Pat Gillick's last year at the helm, he has put the pieces of the puzzle together, and has resurrected Brad Lidge, Jayson Werth, and countless others to reach this lofty status. Unfortunately, destiny may have other plans for the Red Pinstripe boys from Philly. It appears that the Gods have smiled on the Rays from the most unlikely place (Tampa), and it may be their time in the spotlight. However, it will be a very interesting October in Philadelphia and in Limerick, where Sam will be glued to the 52" HD Screen. Well, all I can say is I am happy for Sam, and I hope they give him a few more days in the Sun. Loyalty like Sam's deserves to be rewarded.
Just a brief note from Florida

The Blogs are opinions and obsevations of a long and varied life. The opinions and observations are mine alone and in no way should be construed as anything more than one man's view of the world. Opinions are worth the paper they are written on. Will also bring you local flavor of the Villages and Lady Lake Florida.
