Phillies Win



Last night the Phillies won their first World Series in 28 years. The last time the city had a championship is when the Sixers won in 1983. Congrats to the Phillies and the entire city of Philadelphia.

With a championship team comes "Fair Weather" fans. I personally have a friend that turned into a fair weather Phillies fan this year. His name is Ship-Dawg. Not only did Ship-Dawg start rooting for the team, he actually went out and purchased a Phillies T-shirt. That’s like going out and buying a Red Sox hat last year. It’s just a disgrace to fanhood and a slap in the face of the Royals. Way to go Ship!

On another note, I had a buddy that put down $500 on the Phillies to win the series back in April. The odds were set at 12 to 1. Needless to say, he is a happy camper this morning. Now for him to root for the Phillies is justifiable. That does not denote a fair weather fan.
