I don't think so. Last year's was the biggest one for ya. This here is just normal greed. When you're a fan, you want to win them all, but that 1st one is the sweetest. Even though this is the more hated fough than last year. That's the only time I went to one of those parades ('81.)

I dont agree. Last year the Phils beat a fruitless Tampa team. They had the personality of a Geico commercial. This is the NY Yankees. I dont care if this is your 8th title in a row, when you beat the Yankees, it really means something. A la Boston in 04. Not because it was the first one in 100 years, but more so who we beat and how we did it in the ALCS.

I think if the Phillies went out and swept the Yankees last year would still be better.

but IF and its a huge IF.. we come back here and win in game 7 that just adds so much more to it being down 3-1 after game 4. Especially with the years ups and downs and the bullpen problems.. everything last year just seemed to go in our direction. While we had a much easier time winning the NL East this year.. those 18 blown saves were just one tough loss after another. I could just imagine how I will feel tomorrow if we win game 7 (if there is a game 7).. though I highly doubt its going to happen.

its all going to be a moot point though. thats my gut feeling.

Well you are the Philly fan, so its your call. Good luck tonight, I would love to see a Game 7. The anticipation all day tomorrow would make my day so much better!
