Thanks for the ping, Kid! : ) It was good to see them win so handily!

[TAdams8591]

Good thought. I hope so! : )

Bitter much?

Bitter and clinging to my guns. :)

The idiots have an open fire going in the middle of the street at Broad and Sansom also at Broad and Oregon.

Broad and Sansom

Not too far from the Diamond District. Yee-owch.

I was in Philadelphia when they won in 1980. It was wild. I heard gunfire or firecrackers and car horns and fire or police sirens all over the city.

I was living in the Bronx when the Yankees won for the first time in over a decade. The morons were actually shooting their Ravens in the air right on the Grand Concourse near Fordham Road (a MAJOR intersection in said borough).

I’m not a big baseball fan, but I’m glad they won.

Wasn’t Carter still president in the fall of 1980?

[gusopol3]

yes, but he lost his re-election bid to Reagan a few days (actually about 2 weeks ) later

[Born Conservative]

My bad; I misread. It’s early and I didn’t have my coffee yet.

[Tribune7]

I like this team. They do seem like a good bunch.

Charlie hung in there even though the loser liberal clowns on the sports station ripped him for years. His mom must be smiling.

I've never seen such a reaction to a Sixers loss.

Franklin Roosevelt got on the television
and didn’t just talk about
the princes of greed, he said,
‘Look, here’s what happened.’"

I guess Opama and Piden don't count

Now that you mention it didn't the Rays, the losing team, spend a few nights in Wilmington, DE before finishing the game last night? Might be a sign...
