Congrats to the Philadelphia Phillies

It's finally here for Philadelphia - the Phillies have captured their second World Series title. I'm not a huge fan of baseball, and the Phils aren't my favorite team, but I have to admit that it's pretty cool to be living in the city right now - there are fireworks going off all over the city, and I can hear people honking their horns & hooting and hollering outside of our condo. It is a pretty cool experience - Philly's fans have waited a long, long time, and they certainly deserve it.

And it will be interesting to see how Philly's other sports teams respond. History is on their side, that's for sure. In 1980, the last time the Phillies won the World Series, the Eagles went to the Super Bowl, the Flyers went to the Stanley Cup Finals, and the Sixers went to the NBA Finals. (What a year it must have been to be a Philly sports fan.) Those other three teams lost in '80, but it is a good omen, especially considering how competitive the Eagles and Flyers are (and look to be) in their respective postseasons.

Congrats, Philly!
