I'll be rooting for Detroit in the Series. I hate the Cards and the Mets... well, who wants to see New York win again?
Secretly though, I'm jealous. Detroit's had a Stanley Cup and an NBA Championship this decade so far. A World Series title would only add to the hurt I feel waiting for one of my teams to get there and actually win. I'm tired of seeing New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles celebrate. I want to celebrate.
As a Philly-centric fan, you should be jealous. It's been a regular title-town around here, especially with hockey, plus basketball and some college achievements.
I don't blame you, either. For years as a kid, I wondered why the Lions couldn't get strong and take a SB.
I'm not so foolish now, and I definitely appreciate the good times when they materialize. I'd be ranting forever like I did . . . shitting on the Tigers, completely and utterly, just like I did the Steelers . . . if I thought for one second, just one . . . that something wasn't rightIt's gotta be earned . . . otherwise, it's just like the years where a team sucks. Handouts won't do . . . and I see, at least on a longshot chance for a team like the Phillies . . . they keep that Howard guy going on the right path, and it doesn't look like that HR-slugger's the wrong kind of guy . . . Phillies might grab one. Way MLB still is . . . plenty of sad-sack organizations . . . better pitching on the Phils is probably the quickest way to a city championship

Don't let Andy Reid fool you. Morhinweg is just there as a favor so his family doesn't starve. Big Red is calling the shots in that offense. Do you really think an offense helmed by the idiot who deferred on an overtime coin toss would be as dominant as ours is right now?
But yeah, in principle, I'm not a big fan of the WCO either. I like my offense to grind the ball out on the ground and take shots down the field in the air. Still, what we have here in Philly works, and I'm not complaining.
On Pennington . . . afterthought . . . I know Pennington and Moss hooked up at Marshall, but Pennington pre-shoulder-tears just isn't the same as the one today. He's probably smarter out there, but the arm's weaker . . .
Why can't we have just one actual super-WR-talent (Moss, Owens) connect with a super-QB-talent (Brady, McNabb) and just set a bunch of legit records? I don't even consider Peyton's WRs to be that great anymore, now that Harrison's getting older.

I wanna know how it feels.
