Well I sat in this same chair 3 days ago very nervous and anxious about the upcoming weekend games. We had the Phillies trying to utilize the home field advantage and take a series lead on Tampa, we had Penn State traveling to a stadium where they had lost 7 straight games and we had the Eagles playing an important home game against a not so bad Atlanta Falcons team. Fast forward to now where we have the Phillies just 1 win away from winning their second championship in franchies history, first in 28 years and first major championship for the city of Philadelphia in 25 years. We have the Penn State Nittany Lions shedding the second of two monkeys off their back and sitting patiently at #3 in the BCS and we had the Eagles win 27-14 over the visitng Falcons. Aside from my fantasy football teams getting humiliated I would say this is probably the best sports weekend I can ever remember. Hell - to top it all off the Flyers also won and the Pitt Panthers lost! Can that type of weekend be topped in terms of quantity of victories?! I doubt it. Maybe if Florida State would have lost it would have been better but if you look at the rest of their schedule - the losses will come.
Words can't really describe the excitement around the area right now - and for good reason. The Phillies faithful have waited a long time for this and it is well deserved. Heres hoping they can put it away tonight in front of the home crowd. I got so frustrated this weekend trying to figure out whether I should wear my Penn State hat with my Phillies shirt or my Phillies hat with my Penn State shirt - see how difficult I have it???
