Do you understand just how desparate we are for a champion in Philly?

Yes, I live across the river. I'll give the fans credit, they keep coming back for more - no matter which team breaks their heart. Fog bowl, Kenny Linseman offside, Joe Carter and the Wild Thing, Rod Martin's 3 picks, Jim Plunkett, Ricky Manning Jr's 3 picks, Joe Juravicious (sp?), and last but not least, the Phillies blowing a 5 game lead with 6 games left in the season.

Yeah, I was at the Tampa game where Juevicious blew by Gardner and Blaine Bishop. That was horrid.

As to the PHils it was in 64. They blew a 6 1/2 game lead w/ 12 to play. My dad still talks about it. In fact when Joe Carter hit the dinger in the 93 WS I ran up to my dad, who had fell asleep. I told him what happened and he wakes from a dead sleep to say:

"What do you expect, they blew a 6 1/2 game lead with 12 to play in 1964". then when right back to sleep. That's how scarred he is.
