Baseball Hell

Once again the baseball fans of Philly are tortured. Forget giving terrorists the protections of the US Constitution as well as the Geneva Convention. What about us poor slobs who follow the losingest franchise in the history of North American team sports.

The Phils had it in the bag until their loss last Monday to the 'Stros. I consider this latest collpase, one last possible stench of the odor of Ed Wade. Ole Underdog lifted his leg one more time and showered us all. Didn't his boys Burrell and Lieberthal come up real big, this past week. Not to mention that idiot of a manager.I say one last possible stench because rumors are that Dave Montgomery might force Gillick to bring Uncle Charley back next year. What a disgrace, if true. They should hire Lou Piniella but they're too cheap. If they don't do that, it's a no brainer. The moment Joe Girardi gets fired, sign him up! However, it probably won't happen because of Montgomery and the putrid ownership. Dave's big claim to fame is that he has three fewer chins than Bill Giles. Big deal, that still leaves him with three.

What is really painful, is that if the Phils had gotten in they could have won the pennant. The NL stinks and the Mets are done without Pedro. The Pads will now win it and then lose to the AL in the Series. I can't take it anymore.I would have loved to have lost the WS this year.Only a Phils fan could say that. "Wait till next year", seems so hollow right now. Gene Mauch, RIP.
