World Series

I have to apologize to every Phillies fan around the world. I had to do it. I had to go. I had to see a World Series.

Even though I knew it would cost the Fightin’s a game.

For three years I’ve been working my way up the postseason ladder. My record so far is pretty goddamned miserable.

2007 – Game 1 of the NLDS: Colorado Rockies 4, Philadelphia Phillies 2

2008 – Game 3 of the NLCS: Philadelphia Phillies 2, Los Angeles Dodgers 7

2009 – Game 3 of the World Series: New York Yankees 8, Philadelphia Phillies 5

For our undetermined 2009 campaign, I wanted to go to the World Series. I knew it would cost us a win. I knew I’d overpay for tickets to yet another loss. But hell, it’s the World friggin’ Series. How many chances in one lifetime is a man going to get to watch the Phillies play the Yankees in Citizens Bank Park.

So I went, and it was grand. And they lost. But I don’t care. I’ve been to the World Series and I’ve got the Taco Bell swag and preposterous towel to show for it.

And like a wise man once said, “Now I can die in peace.”
