Lone tree in the forest

Or something along those lines. As a displaced Phillies fan it is a bit lonely here. Surrounded by Yankees and Mets and Red Sox fans. The Mets fans are all in hiding at least after three dismal years, two late collapses and a really awful season this year. The Sawx fans are pretty quiet as they watch the Yankees enter the fall classic. It really is just the uproar from the Yankees fans....."10,000 losses"...."26 championships"...."new stadium (complete with faulty and cracked concrete)"....etc.

So, I will hold my vigil alone as even Mrs. JH is a Yankee fan (kinda). At least her boss is a Phillies fan. Maybe I should go spend a week in South Jersey, it would be closer to work.

At least when the dust clears and the Phightins are the first NL team to repeat in 20+ years all the shouting will die down. And I will be sending off my winning bet to Las Vegas again this year.

GO PHILS, WIN IT FOR HARRY!

Later,
JH
