there seem to be a lot of people who dislike Philly teams
most say it is because the fans are rude, or some such thing
but we haven't had a winner, since...hmm, Rocky Balboa?
I say "we" tenderly, as I have never lived there
but my Dad grew up nearby and raised me on Phillies baseball
if they make it, will be bittersweet watching it without him
fathers & sons and baseball have always kind of gone hand-in-hand

Sorry had to be said.
But I'm with you there. There was no way I wanted Toronto to win that series.

on a positive note, you could have said
the late, great Tug McGraw striking out KC's Willie Wilson (1980)
now remember, I know who your team is
don't make me break out Steve Bartman on you:D
