Phillies Need Eagles Wings To Soar To Victory...!!!

It was a successful weekend for many Philly sports teams...all except the one that counted the most...The Phillies in World Series game 4 against the Yankees...

After an exciting 8th inning solo home run by Pedro Felize to tie the game at 4 to 4, the Phillies only saw their hopes dashed in the top of the 9th when the Yankees took a commanding 7 to 4 lead which resulted in another Yankee victory bringing the series to a 3 to 1 Yankee lead!!!

Now, the Phils, whose MO is winning on the road and against all odds, must settle back into that role if they hold any hopes of repeating as World Champions...

It's really as simple as that...take each game as it comes, go out and play like you did in the regular season, don't lose heart or give up before the final out, and BELIEVE...!!!

In any case, thanks for some great baseball this year...It's November and my team is still playing baseball...!!!

Fran: Your beloved Phillies have fans rooting for them all over the country. They are either Phillies fans, or Yankee Haters. I am, being from Cleveland, very much in favor of anyone BUT the Yankees winning the World Series... so I will be taking my Rosary with me as I watch the game, and have emailed the dear Sisters of Charity to pray for the Phillies, light candles for them, and pray their Rosaries, too. I sincerely hope this helps. Go Phillies ! Poop on the Yankees !

Now you know the Brad Lidge I know - life time STROS fan!

Fran, I am a lifelong Yankees fan and while I respect the fight that the Phils are putting up, I believe the proverbial fork is ready to be put in them. I think it would have been a better move to pitch Lee last night, of course hindsight is always 20/20. All in all it has been an exciting series.

Hey Fran,

You just have to believe.....

Have a wonderfully blessed week!!

Alice

Fran - While I'm not a Phillie fan nor a fan of baseball these days, I've been an avid cheerleader for the Phillies since the series started. It ain't over just yet and I'll be watching and cheering tonight!

My prediciton is the series goes back to NY and ends in 6. Hey Pedro, who's your daddy?

Hey Fran I am a die hard Yankee hater so I am pulling for your Phillies. However when the Eagles play the Falcons that will be another thing !!!

Karen Anne: AMEN...!!!

Jeremy: Now you tell us...!!! LOL

Gerry: Without appearing pompous, you really haven't seen the real Phillies...!!!

Alice: I believe, heal though my unbelief...!!! :)

Jason: Didn't a fat Yankee catcher say something like that before...??? LOL

Daniel: Pedro is a class guy...!!! A fun pitcher to watch...!!!

Charlie: Michael WHO...!!! LOL

Thanks, Fran

You never know on these things Fran, they can turn... I'll be watching tonight's game!!

Gary,

Staying alive, staying alive...!!! Thanks, Fran

To quote the ledgenary HK " Chase Utley, you are the man !!!!!!!!!!!"

Michael,

Yes, but even THE MAN CHASE is humble enough to give credit to his teammates rather than soak up all the glory for himself...!!! A true hero...!!!

Thanks, Fran

P.S. Go PHILLIES...!!!

NOV

Let's go Yankees!

Kenneth,

In the spirit of good sportsmanship, I won't delete your comment...!!! LOL, Thanks, Fran

Thanks Fran, I may have to eat my words. We'll see tonight.

Sorry Fran, you're guys put up a really good fight. Congratz to the Yankees. Hey do I win anything for calling the Yankees in 6?

Kenneth,

Without taking anything away from the Yankees, who really deserved to win and deserve to be World Champions, in my opinion the best team did not win. That's not sour grapes, it just happens to be my opinion.

Did the Yankees outplay the Phillies? No doubt about it!

Did the Phillies play up to their potential? No way!

The Phillies gave us some great baseball this year, and didn't let us, their fans, down. They let themselves down, and I think they know it.

In any event...congratulations to the Yankees, and I can't wait until Spring Training 2010...!!!

Thanks, Fran

You are correct brother Fran, sometimes the best team doesn't win. I think it's like that in real Estate also. Only that, if it's my client, it could be costly. BTW, your Archbishop, owes my Archbishop a box of Tastykakes. According to an article in this weeks Catholic New York.

Kenneth,

Two great Archbishops and a great reward for winning...!!! Thanks, Fran

NOV

I was thinking about the 71 series when the Bucs came back from 3-1 deficit. I remember that one vividly being Clemente's big showcase... and how he started the rally by beating out a dribbler to the mound... but I think the Pirates were going back to Pittsburgh for the final 2. Hey nothing to hang your head over... it's like one little engine that could against the world! The Yanks are one big reason why I can hardly stand to watch what used to be my favorite game. They say it's good for the stock market though! Next year and you still got a pretty fresh ring. Blessings, Bob

Bob,

You always have a fresh outlook to cast on situations...very refreshing...!!! Thanks, Fran
