2009 was a great season for my Phigten Phils, eventhough we didnt will the fall classic like in 2008, I have never been so proud to stand by my team. Same nucleus in 2010, with a chip on our shoulder= RIP all other 29 teams.

Nice Amanda…PN is a fun site for this out-of-towner… I can’t wait for next season!

As for the comment above about playing in the weaker NL.., I don’t necisarily feel that way..I just think for a series like the WS, the NL will always be in a weaker position because the NL teams don’t have to staff a designated hitter all year…you can’t just automatically turn your pinch-hitter/bench person into a star DH for one series..

@Ralph

The league that the Phillies played in did not hurt them. They just did not play well enough to beat a great team. It’s a little consolation for me that the Phillies while not playing their best took a great team to 6 games. They just ran out of gas and a couple shortcomings hurt them.

I give props to the Yankees and thank the classy Yankee fans that have come over to give up props. These teams were damn close to even and I hope get another shot at them soon.

I echo this post, great write up.

Phillies are a great team. I think playing in the much weaker National league hurt them. They need to play and develop the roster as if they were playing in the American League East if they want to compete. The Yankees were much better winning 4 games to 2

Spanky you are a jerk. Didnt the Eagles just spank the Giants by the way.
This just goes to show the classless Yankee fans.
We have pride in a real home grown team.

Nice article Amanda.

And a special thank you to Harry Kalas and your High Hopes. Let’s continue the tradition in 2010.

Patty NY you are an Idiot!

The Phillies never had a 100 year drought that is Chicago!

We won in 80 as well and will be in it to win it next year.

I think it will be even harder for the Yankees to repeat next year than it was for the Phillies to do it this year, We are much younger and have a better pharm system. Jeter, Petitte, Riveria all get another year older! I am sure they will put up a good fight enjoy

With all the low class New York trolls posting on this Phillies site, it proves one thing: NEW YORK is filled with slug “fans”. Muts fans and Spankees fans that come on here to only toss insults and ignorant comments are cut from the same cloth. Very low moral fiber. Eat it NY!
